HARNE.Y LANE .. City Manager Glaves reported on a meeting concerning
SANITARY theoperation of the Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill he
LANDFILL participated in with the City staff, Mayor Ehrhardt and
members of the County staff. The City Manager said
the meetings to be held in the future would hopefully be
productive in resolving the problem. Councilman Katnich
said the consensus of the City Council is that the City
desires to turn over the operation of the landfill to the
County of San Joaquin. Councilman Hughes said the
immediate problem is cost sharing with the County.
He urged that the City Council be persistent in dealing
with the County on this.
The City Manager said the County has been informed
that unless there was progress in the matter by January 1,
1973, the Gity would cancel the landfill contract with the
County. Mayor Ehrhardt moved that a letter be sent to
the County immediately informing that body that if the
City Council did not receive a reply prior to the Council
meeting of September 20, 1972, the City of Lodi would
assume that its latest proposal for cost sharing which
provided for the County share to be 80% and the Gity
share 20% was acceptable to the County. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Schaffer and carried
unanimously.
SANITARY CITY Mr. Dario DeBenedetti, general manager of the Sanitary
DISPOSAL CO. City Disposal Company requested time on the agenda to
PROPOSAL make a presentation.to the Council concerning the operation
of the Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill by the company he
represents. He introduced Mr, Thomas Meichtry of San
Francisco, a consultant in the field of solid waste disposal.
Mr. Meichtry, representing the Easley and Brasey Cor-
poration, said his firm has developed a plan to extend the

Minutes of September 13, 1972, continued
life of the landfill by 10 years. He said this could be
accomplished by digging areas for dumping rather than
the present system of ditches. Mr. DeBenedetti said
the cost of the operation parallels the present operation.
Councilman Hughes said the Council couldn't evaluate and
endorse the proposal without additional information.
City Manager Glaves suggested the proposal be pre-
sented to the County of San Joaquin. Mr. DeBenedetti
said he would do this.
