230 Attorney White has received a copy of the agreement between the San Francisco Water Department and the Town of Pleasanton which he will search to determine if the Town may take over the Township Water District. Mr. Oxsen read a communication from the Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District in which they request annexation of the sewage treatment plant area to the Town of Pleasanton. Attorney White will report on the procedure in annexing property owned by the Town at the next meeting. Mr. White will also give his opinion at the next meeting on a Twon official signing blanket federal tax exemption certificates as per request of the Standard Oil Com- pany. Mayor Trimingham spoke to Attorney White regarding Mr. Battin's failure to answer the Town's request that he put in curbs and gutters on the corner of Angela and Augustine Streets. It was Attorney White's opinion that under the Improvement Act of 1911, the Town can order curbs in if 51 of the block already has curbs. Engineer Goodridge asked the Council what type of controls they wished on existing tanks. The Council stated either electrical or pressurized system. With this infor- mation Engineer Goodridge expects to have the plans completed in a week or ten days. Mayor Trimingham asked Engineer Goodridge's opinion on the Division of Highways recommendation that Angela Street be widened to 64 feet. Engineer Goodridge stated that there was no need for that width. Engineer Goodridge will contact Mr. Fortney, of the Division of Highways, on this matter, and he will also contact Mr. Boggs, of the County Surveyors' office, regarding the Town's application to the County for gas tax funds for the repair of Division and Ray Streets. Engineer Goodridge was instructed to proceed with the plans for the curb correction on Main Street. Mr. Oxsen read a��, ommm inication from the County Planning Commission which recommended J�z changes in Mr. n sen's propesed sub division. Engineer Goodridge and the Council reviewed the enclosed map. Engineer Goodridge stated that the Planning Commission's plans would be suitable if Mr. Jensen owned the entire tract, but as he does not, he gave full recommendation on the plans Mr. Jensen has submitted to the Council. Engi- neer Goodridge suggested the Council apply to the County Surveyor's office for a permit to lay a 6" cast iron pressure line for sewage across the bridge. The Council reviewed the plans of the.proposed extension of First Street to the Pleasan- ton Sunol Road. Engineer Goodridge has given his recommendations onosarne, which will be sent to the County Surveyor's office. The Chamber of Commerce Committee on Parking Problems appeared before the Council. Those present were: Mr. Osterholt, Mr. Frudden, Mr. Deetz, Mr. Sletten, Mr. Hitch and Mr. Earl Pinard, who acted as spokesman for the group. Their recommendations to the Council were as follows: One hour parking on Main Street between Ray Street and Angela Street, two hour parking on Main Street from Ray Street to the Bridge, also two hour from Angela St. to the City limits, and two hour off street parking for a certain distance from Main St. Mr. Pinard also stated that in all probability the Chamber could secure two lots near the center of town which could be used for merchants parking. The Committee favored the parking limits instead of parking meters. Mayor Trimingham stated that the installation of signs and the extra police service to enforce limited parking would be quite an added expense to the Town; therefore, the Council had con- sidered parking meters as that would be source of revenue. The Council agreed to consider the recommendations of the Committee, and requested Mr. Oxsen to enquire from the California Automobile Association the cost of parking limit signs. Recess was called.
