1352 Councilman Trimingham spoked with regards to permission having been granted Mrs: Marie Kohler about two years.ago for the removal of certain trees in front of her property on St. John's Street. At that time it was understood that new trees would be planted to replace those removed. However, it developed that the trees had been planted in between the trees to be removed for which permission had been granted that they 'should be taken out. Mr. Rodrigues was queried in the matter and he suggested that the trees go out. Councilman Trimingham reported on his accompanying Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Stovall and Mr. Rodrigues to the California Nursery on February 2nd regarding the securing of trees for the streets. He reported that approximately 65 trees had been bought and would shortly be set out. Fire Chief Amaral asked permission to procure an oxygen tank which was needed for the res- uscitator and same was granted. He also reported on the matter of fuel oil tanks etc. and suggested that the matter rest and no action be taken and same was ordered. He asked that authorization be given with regards condemning the buildings on-the Crommie Estate on Main Street. He further reported on the conversation with the State man since this property had been taken over by the State on account of taxes not being paid. The council was in favor of authorizing the Fire Chief to proceed. Councilman Brenner queried the City Attorney with reference to the P.G. &E. pole on the James Trimingham service station property and with reference to the town's liability in connection with same. Mr. Nilson was of the opinion that since persons trespassing were trespassing on private property and that same would be covered by any public liability insurance that Mr. Trimingham might have and if there was Hone --that he would be liable for anything* that might happen on his premises. Councilman Mezze.brought up the chlorination matter and mentioned that the Health Officer had suggested its installation: He stated that both companies would be willing to put in their outfits and have them tried out and would make any terms for their purchase which the town might require. Discussion .followed on the project but no action was taken. However, the council felt that samples of water should be taken and eh-ecked by both companies and recommendations made with reference to the amount of chlorination necessary. Councilman Mezza brought up the matter of the town buying gasoline on bids from someone of the companies operating in the territory. The Mayor had the Clerk advise him with regards to the present proceedure and the proceedure in years past after, which there was�.some discussion. The general feeling-.!was4.that the present proceedure should continue. The Clerk was directed to correspond with the State Controller with reference to a refund of the, gasoline tax to the Town of Pleasanton. The Clerk then presented Resolution No. 1737 authorizing the payment of the salaries of the municipal officers for the month of January amounting to $772.50. The resolution was adopted on motion of Councilman Brenner, seconded by Councilman Mezza and with all the councilmen in favor of same. _ There being no further business the meeting adjourned at. 10 35 o'clock to meet in regular session, Monday evening, March 3 at 7:30 P.M.

He explained the situation as it presently existed, and the buying of water from the Pleasanton Township Water District. He advised that it is very probable that mare water would be needed in the future and he thought it proper at this time `to give more consideration to the chlorinator plant and attempt to reach an -early decision as to whether it should be put in or not. At this point the Clerk read a letter from Wallace & Tiernan regarding test made of water of recent date. Discussion by Councilman Mezza on the matter resulted and he stated that the test had been made following a request from the Council at the last meeting. A discussion among the Councilmen followed and principally how a chlorinator outfit be purchased , and especially if it could be purchased as an emergency measure without advertising for bids. The opinion of Attorney Nilson was to the effect that if the apparatus was immediately needed, and it was apparent that it was from the recommendations of the Health Officer, that it could be purchased as an emergency measure. After a short discussion of this situation, Mayor Rivolta raised the question: "Are we going to purchase one or not ?" On motion of Councilman Meaza seconded by Councilman Triminghan and with all the councilmen in favor of same, it was ordered that a chlorinator plant be installed. .The Clerk was instructed to writ® both companies who had submitted figures on same under date of November 8, 1940 and query them further with regards to whether there had been any advance in price on the chlorinator and under what conditions they could be purchased.
