Centennial Commission Invitation to participate in Parade In reply to the League of California Cities communication on forthcoming legislative bille, it was agreed by the Council to write to the members of the Assembly Committee on Revenue and Taxation opposing Assembly Bill 817 which is the new county, city, and state sales tax proposal. Mr. Oxsen was asked to write to the Office of the City Manager of Santa Roaa stating that the Town was not interested in obtaining a list of used car sales which would assist in collecting City Sales Tax; however, the Town is interested in obtLining a list of all sales reported to the State. Mr. Oxsen was asked to fill out the entry blank for the Fair Parade and forward it to the Alar::eda County Centennial Commission. Mr. Roy Jensen and Mr. Bud Krueger appeared before the Council at this time. Mayor Trim ingham reported on the meeting that several of the Councilmen had had with Mr. Thomas and Mr. Gardella, of the County Planning Commission, regarding Mr. Jensen's sub- division plans. The Planning Commission had requested that Mr. Jensen change his lay -out of streets in order to have a street running directly to the proposed school; they also felt that some of the homes were too close to the railroad; streets 34 feet from curb to curb within the tract would be satisfactory to the County. Mr. Jensen stated that he did not intend to change his maps to comply with the Planning Commission's requirements and that he wished to apply to the Town for annexation of the 15.8 acres recently purchased. After much discussion, the Council agreed to streets within the tract being 36 feet from curb to curb, 5 foot sidewalks, which would leave 1' feet between the sidewalks and property line for the installation of gas lines. The remainder of the map met with the Council's approval; therefore, Mr. Jensen will furnish Attorney White with a description of the property in order to proceed with the annexation. BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the Town of Pleasanton hereby finds and determines that the public interests, convenience and necessity require the acquisition in fee simple by said Town of Pleasanton of a site for the construction thereon and therein of a water reservoir, together with all structures, facilities and appurtenances reasonably necessary and appropriate therefor, for the purposes of and to be used for and useful for the supply- ing of water to the inhabitants of the Town of Pleasanton, and that the lot, piece or parcel of land hereinafter described, and the whole thereof is necessary therefor, said land lying and being in the Town of Pleasanton, County of Alameda, State of California, particularly described as follows: BEGINNING at the most eastern corner of Plot 17 on the southwestern line of Kottinger Avenue, as said Plot 17 and said Avenue are shown and so delineated on that certain map entitled "Map of the Pleasanton Homesteads," filed in the office of the County Recorder of Alameda County, California, March 7th, 1885, and of record in Bood 6 of Maps at page 30, Alameda County Records, and running thence along said southwestern line of Kottinger Avenue North 61 30' west 382.80 feet; thence leaving Kottinger Avenue South 28 30' west 462.00 feet to the true point of beginning; thence North 61 30' west 175.00 feet; thence .North
