UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 7: REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE "SOUTH BAY WASTEWATER DISCHARGERS STUDY". City Manager reported that at the last meeting of the Water Quality Control Board, most of the Cities of the South Bay Area agreed that a study should be made to determine whether a large pipe line should be constructed to transport all of the waste water discharge to a point north of the Dumbarton Bridge. The expense for this proposed pipe line is well up into the millions of dollars and many feel that it should not be built until we know what effect it will actually have on the portion of the Bay south of Dumbarton Bridge. It is proposed that a study be made, with all of the dischargers in the South Bay Area participating financially. Our share would be 4.57%cf the estimated $250,000 needed for the study, or $1,321.00. City Manager recommended that since this study deals directly with sewers and waste water discharge, our share of this study could come out of the Sewer Basin Funds (both Palo Alto and Los Altos). MOTION, SECONDED AND CARRIED: Councilmen Helgesson moved, seconded by Aiken and carried by majority roll call vote, Councilman Davey voting No, that $1,321.00 be allocated for the South Bay Wastewater Dischargers study. UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 8• APPOINTMENT OF A COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE TO PLANNING POLICY COMMITTEE. Mayor Benson appointed Councilman Stanley W. Grabowski to be Council representative to the Planning Policy Committee. STAFF REPORTS: I. City Manager stated the traffic signs proposed by Mr. C. Garbett for erection on Page Mill Road have been ordered. 2. Staff noted that the Council Agenda now includes all upcoming Town and Citizens' Committees meetings. PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR: 1. Mrs. Anne Spencer, President of the Los Altos Hills Association, presented background information on the preparation of the questionnaire and presented a rough draft to the Council for review. A committee of the Council and Planning Commission will meet on June 4, 1970 to finalize the questionnaire which, after it is printed, will be mailed to all Town residents to ascertain their feelings on problems facing the Town. 2. Mr. Tom Gamboa presented letters from Mr, and Mrs. James E. Correll, owner of Lot #1, Tract #4444, and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Young, Owner of Lot #3, Tract #4444. These letters represented two of the three property Owners requested to release the Town of all further responsibility, when Mr. Gamboa installs a 4" submersible pump which is to be approved(before installatior) by the Town Engineer. Mr. Gamboa had previously submitted a release from Mr. Schroeder, for whom he had already installed a septic tank. Mr. Gieseler of 26885 Taaffe Road (Lot #2) has not yet signed the only outstanding release, pending review by his attorney. City Attorney advised the Council they could approve subject to receipt of Gieseler's release and the approval of the pump by the Town Engineer. -4-
