REPORTS OF THE CITY MANAGER ~e~uest for Sewer Permits for Property.at valley Avenue/Hansen Drive Mr. Brown presented his report dated December 13, 1979, regarding this matter, stating that the request for a commitment of 25 sewer connection permits for the Mackay property is proposed as a benefit to the City and to the property owner. The full benefit to the City would not be realized until both of the other links of Valley Avenue are complete and that timing is unknown. More importantly, granting of the request would necessitate at least a partial change in an existing position regarding the Sunol phase-out capacity. While this position should be reviewed, such a review and possible change should occur at a date closer to the actual phase- out. Councilmember Mercer asked if consideration had been given to the fact that the City initiated the rezoning of this property, not the property owner. Mr. Brown advised he had taken this fact into consideration. After discussion, it was moved by Mayor Brandes, and seconded by Councilmember Mercer, that the request of Mr. Mackay for the commitment of 25 sewer connection permits for the property at Valley Avenue/Hansen Drive, be denied, and that this matter be placed on the agenda for the first meeting in May for further considera- tion and review. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmen Butler, Kephart, Mercer, Wood, and Mayor Brandes NOES: None ABSbNT: None Report on.

Councilmember Wood expressed concern about the power of the Alameda County Solid Waste Management Authority and the possibility of the assessment of two taxes on City residents for solid waste service. Councilmember Wood stated he felt the City Council should inform the Authority of Pleasanton's recycling grant application and that we also have our own transfer station. He expressed concern regarding which is the best way for the City to proceed regarding solid waste, but felt the Author]tD~ Cit ' should be notified of the y s intent relative to disposal. Councilmember Mercer stated he was a member of the Alameda County Solid Waste Management Authority at its inception but now the situation is more complex and he is not familiar with the issues. He stated he felt that if Councilmember Wood feels there should be a feasibility study done then he would concur with that. Mr. Brown advised that the Council had reviewed the Solid Waste Management Plan several months ago and had recommended to the Authority that the City of Pleasanton would like to proceed on their own disposal services. Councilmember Wood stated he would like to abstain from further participation on this item because of a plan he is currently working on that could relate to thig matter. It was moved by Councilmember Mercer, and seconded by Councilmember Butler, that the City of Pleasanton reiterate its previous position of: (1) a strong local role in solid waste management with the Authority having plan review powers; (2) continue~ operation of the Authority under a Joint powers agreement with appropriate changes made to assure the Authority can adequately deal with conflicts between individual agency proposals and the Solid Waste Management Plan; and (3) a final Solid Waste Management Plan that preserves local options to the extent possible and which re- lates all goals specifically to economic considerations, a~d transmit this position 5. 12/18/79
