CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE REPORTS Councilmembers presented various Committee Reports for the information of the Council. Councilmember Kephart advised that the Garbage Committee had been meeting with the Pleasanton Garbage Service and expects to have a proposal ready for Council con- sideration at the meeting of February 10, 1981, relative to a rate increase for the Pleasanton Garbage Service, Inc. Councilmember Kephart advised that he and Mayor Mercer had artended a Criminal Justice Planning meeting on January 20th, relative to the proposed Women's Correc- tional facility at Santa Rita. Councilmember Kephart requested that the record reflect the City's opposition to the proposal for a Woments Correctional facility at Santa Rita. He stated that according to Jeff Canpen, Alameda County Justice Council Law and Justice Coordinator, that the sale of 40-50 acres of County property would probably net the County in the range of one million dollars. He advised that the price tag onthe Santa Rita facility is estimated to cost seventy-eight million dollars and architectural fees between three and four million dollars. Councilmember Kephart stated that when these figures were presented at the meeting, members seemed astonished. He stated there would not be enough money from the sale of property to construct a Women's CorrectioD~l facility. Councilmember Kephart noted that a posi- tion had previously been taken by the County that any money received from the sale of land would go toward the building of Santa'Rita facilities. Councilmember Kephart advised that he had again expressed Pleasanton's strong opposition against the con- struction of a Women's Correctional facility; that the two prisons already in exist- ence at Santa Rita created adverse impacts on the Valley. He stated that the City of Livermore, and Dublin San Ramon Services District had unanimously adopted resolu- tions in support of Pleasanton's position of opposition to any further increase in prison facilities. Councilmember Kephart advised that the Justice Council agreed to table any further discussion of a Women's Correctional facility. He stated he felt this matter could be brought up again at some future date and that this particular issue needs to be monitored by Pleasanton City Council. It was moved by Council- member Kephart, and seconded by Councilmember Butler, instructing staff to write a letter to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors requesting that a representative from Pleasanton City Council be appointed to the Justice Council in order to monitor the issues considered by that body and to present Pleasanton's position when neces- sary.
