MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Mrs. Margaret Tracy, 1262 Madison Avenue, Livemore, representing Preserve Area Ridgelands Committee, addressed the City Council expressing concern of preservation of the ridge area, and questioned the City's policy regarding approval of a private sewage treatment plant for Appereon's Guest Ranch. She read a statement from Con- gressman Pete Stark, dictated on the phone on January 14, 1974, regarding prepara- tion of a Bill for preservation of the East Bay Ridgelands as urban park, wilderness or agricultural areas. Councilman Reid stated the City Council is concerned with the preservation of the ridgelands but he felt the Apperson proposal was not inconsistent with the open space concept. Councilman Mori stated that one of the most flagrant violations of natural re- sources is in public parks and if we are going to preserve open space it must be done on a private basis. Councilman Herlihy stated the abuse of public parks was caused by increased population and there is a need to preserve some of the open space that will be accessible to public for their use on a private basis.
