<br />accepted and properly executed.
<br />Mr. Oxsen was requested to write the Alameda County Fair Association that the Town of
<br />Pleasanton would donate $125,00 for the Horse Show in 1953. He will also notify Mr.
<br />Bergstrom that city sales tax will be charged on concessions at the fair next year.
<br />Attorney Gale will be consulted in regard to amending our Sales Tax Ordinance to require
<br />a deposit from the concessionaires at the time of their application for a permit.
<br />Mr. Oxsen reported that Mr. Gilbert Messa had contacted him regarding a position with
<br />the Town of Pleasanton Water Department. He will be advised to file his application,
<br />although there are no vacancies in the Department at the present time.
<br />A statement from Mr. H. J. Deetz, in the amount of $206.00, for filling the water tank,
<br />was presented to the Council; however, no action was taken at this time.
<br />To date, no report of the Audit of the Town books has been received from Mr. Charles
<br />Peterson.
<br />The Council resumed their discussion of the advisability of the Town of Pleasanton enter-
<br />ing the State Employees' Retirement System. It was confirmed from the recent communi-
<br />cations from the Police Department and the other Town employees that all are quite
<br />anxious to enter the System. Mr. Oxsen presented -the estimated receipts for the General
<br />Fund and the estimated expenditures for the current fiscal year. After reviewing same,
<br />and after much discussion, the Council concluded that it was not feasible for the Town
<br />to enter said System at the present time, and that they should wait for the outcome of
<br />a bond issue for additional water storage which is under discussion at the present time.
<br />It was also stated that some of the employees would expect an increase in salary six
<br />months after the plan went into effect, to take care of the deductions from their salary
<br />for the Retirement. Plan. Mr. Oxsen was requested to contact Mr. L. C. Haight, assistant
<br />actuary, to ascertain the length of time the recent actuarial calculation will be in
<br />effect. The Council also discussed the possibility of combining Mr. Sobiela's Town check
<br />and the check he receives from the City of San Francisco Water Dept., which would increase
<br />his benefits from the retirement system. Mr. Espy, of the San Francisco Water Department,
<br />will be consulted on this matter.
<br />There being no further business to come before the meeting, same was adjourned at 11:30 P.M.
<br />to meet again in regular session January 5, 1953, at 7:30 P.M. p
