F6 tyHEELCHA RAMPS' the project PROJECT ,9410 Ten -bids had been received with an extreme range from a RES #7487 NCS - of $21;351 to a high of $80,534. The engineer's estimate for, the project w as $54,800. In his memo dated August. 13, 1976 to the. City Manager, `Ir. Hargis had analyzed the proposals received from the three low bidders. The financial stability and the past work records had been researched on those bidders.. Subsequent to writing the memorandum, Mr. Hargis advised he had personally talked with the three lowest bidders because there had been some concern re- arding how the bids -were in relation to the work to be'performed. One of -low the main concerns was not to have the downtowniarea torn up where there are • many vehicles and` pedestrians; espe'ciall'y during the holiday season. All three of the low `bidders. ndicated they would be willing to work on the project for the bids they- had,`submitted. Mr. Hargis indicated lie could see no reason for : not awarding the; contract to the .lowest bidder, John H. Thomas and Son of San Francisco, in the amount.of $21;3,51.

Local Agency Formation Commission, Baas read by AI:1:A 1719 (1'I\,?G1;OVL the. City .C1_erk and ordered filed. Community Develop AN - 1 0N.10 TAPIA ment and Services Coordinator Frank Gray reviewed RES ;74 t3 NC.S Resolution #6893 adopted by the City Council in April of 1975. At that time, t11e City Council agreed to accept the sewage into the Petaluma system from the Penngrove area if a land use plan was adopted. They further agreed to serve 3,000 people to tie projectLd' the area and 'requested that all buildin; acti- vities for the area be refereed to the City of Petaluma before approval is given by the County.' 'The parcel in question is outside the boundaries set up for County service area 1',19. Mr. Gray' stated this parcel of land along with thousands of other,acres are-on the perimeter of this service area. Mr. Gray al-so stated the master sewer plait anticipated -that the City of Petaluma .would serve a capacty.of 77,000 persoiis. The County has established 80,000 persons, :. 3,000_ of .whom would be in the Penngrove area and the remainder in the Petaluma valley. _ Mr. Gray recommended the Council take a stand objecting to the annexation of this parcel of land to .County Service Area '19. He cited two reasons for his recom.1nendation `the f irst is that no land use plan for the surrounding area and for the central Penn -rove areas has been accomplished. In the absence of such a plan,, Mr. 'Gray stated, he felt the Council would be faced with numerous requests such as this to'. add maiiy acres to. the sewer area so that people can subdivide land which will not support septic systems.. The second reason for his recommendation was the Council extended sewer service to the Penngrove area to solve a public health problem and not to subdivide land. Mr. Gray stated if and then the County prepares a land use..plan for the area surrounding the Penngrove district, it might be well to extend sewer service. However, he recommended no further annexations be made until this study is completed. In the ensuing discussion members of the Council concurred Faith Mr. Gray's recom::- .- endation. Mr. and `Irs. Afttonio Tapia were present at the Council. meeting and spoke briefly. Mr. Tapia sated they have only - one parcel.o.f.land comprised of approximately 5.94 acres ::rich is just- outside of . the line., They purchased the property approximately five months ago •-and.were under the impression that they would be able to yet water and .sealer. Mayor Putnam advised,Mr. Tapia the County and the City work very closely_ f_ of ether to define ail area. which would be served by the Peta-luna sewer system. She regretted the Council would be unable to make an exception in `this case, however, until the County completed their land use study.. She felt the City could not accept additional areas for services at this time. Upon conclusion of the.discussion; Resolution ;17488 N'. C.S. opposing annexation_ - ,x`76 -1 to County Service Area X719 was introduced' by Councilman Harberson, seconded by-Councilman Mattei and adopted by 6 affirmative and l absentee votes. CITY 11hNAGER' S REPORTS CLAIMS & BILLS ;favor Putnam asked John Scharer, finance Director, to RES ' =7489 N CS-` give a• brief explanation of the new forms presented to the•City Council and also the reason for the former type of claims listing. Mr. Scharer stated the claims listing as the .-Council- liad ususal,l'y received .was to clean -up some matters during the transition from the manual operation --and data processing. One form received by tha 'City Council was a summary of the precheck register, and the other was the expense -check register which indicated the payment needed to be made on an in- between basis for which there were contractual obligations by the City.. Mr. Scharer also stated they were endeavoring to come with some standard abbreviations and some spelling corrections in orde to assist the Council in their understandin of the new claims listings. Upon conclusion of his presentation, Resolution "7439 N.C.S. approving claims-and bills #8803 to x,`9089, inclusive, General City. ;. and, 1745 to #'140, inclusive, General City; and, It through ,737, inclus'iv'e, l•aten approved for payment, by the City Manager, was introduced.by Councilman Perry, seconded by Vice - el and adopted b:y.G affirmative and 1 absentee votes. ` ;,�,;•.
