CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS Letters from the cities of Fremont~ Newark, and Alameda~ Re: Solid Waste Management Authority Councilmember Mercer advised that the Alameda County Board of Supervisors had recently voted 5-1 to withdraw from the Solid Waste Management Authority. He stated the County is trying to negotiate for funds of $10 million from the City of San Francisco to allow them to dump in the Altamont. He advised that Pleasanton is not affected by this transaction, other than increased truck traffic on the freeway, because we are not a part of the Oakland Scavenger Company. He stated that with- drawal of the County of Alameda from the Alameda County Solid Waste Management will effectively terminate the existence of the Alameda County Solid Waste Management Authority and will seriously impede the ability to plan for and carry out the manage- ment of solid waste disposal activities in Alameda County in a coordinated and com- prehensive manner. It was moved by Councilmember Mercer, and seconded by Councilmember Wood, that Resolution No. 83-269, declaring opposition to the withdrawal of the County of Alameda from the Solid Waste Management Authority, be adopted.
