who was in the audience came forward and addressed
the Council on this matter.
Mayor Hughes advised that the letters would be reviewed
and a determination would be made as to what possible
action might be involved. Councilman Ehrhardt asked
for a report from the Chairman of the Planning Commission
on the matter.
De Benedetti points out that he feels their objections were
more of an emotional nature than based on factual claims.
It is Mr. DeBenedetti's concern that if this particular site,
which meets all of the environmental and planning require-
ments, is not selected, that the alternate site would
apparently become the "foothill" site which is located
virtually in the Motherlode some 30 miles southeast of
Lodi. Mr. De Benedetti urges that the Council investigate
this and communicate with Supervisor Barber urging
approval of the Harney-Lane/Clements Road Site.

drainage fees and the required drainage installations
in the unincorporated areas of the City's drainage
RES. NO. 4310
service area. In January of 1976 the Board of Super-
visors announced that they were proposing to eliminate
all drainage fees within the County. Since the City's
established Master Drainage Acreage Fee was based
on collections throughout the service area, the con-
cept of eliminating County acreage fees would not
allow the City's Master Drainage Plan to be implemented
without the City subsidizing all future annexations.
A proposed Joint Powers Agreement was presented for
Council's scrutiny, with City Manager Glaves explaining
that the proposed Agreement provides for the County
collecting acreage fees equivalent to those collected in
the City for development within the unincorporated area
of the City's drainage service area and provides for a
method of returning these funds to the City at such time
