Mayor Reid initiated discussion on some of the conditions set forth in the City of PLeasanton's position paper on this matter~ In the matter of Kaiser annexing to the City of Pleasanton, Mr. Corley said that Kaiser would consider annexing but the question might be "timing". Concern was expressed by Mayor Reid regarding the fact that the City of Pleasanton has to be assured that ~revenue and other benefits that might accrue, if this reclamation project is approved, would be suff- icient to off-set the costs of this operation to the City. Discussion also ensued regarding the treatment of the solid wastes at a transfer station and the removal of ferrous metals and the shredding of other mate ri al s. Mayor Reid then allowed several men~Ders of the audience to speak on this matter. Mrs. Jo Harding, 540 East Angela Street, emphasized, among other things, the close proximity of the pits to the City's water wells on Santa Rita Road.
