Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - February 6, 1995 Page - 5 - NEW BUSINESS (continued) Mike Oliver, City Manager, said the City Council directed staff to retrofit essential City buildings. He said the Council has indicated an interest in having staff begin discussions with the Oro Loma Sanitary District and East Bay Municipal Utility District regarding the potential for a merger, consolidation or assumption of the City' s treatment system. He said a meeting is set for March and the subject contract could be postponed, but even if productive conversations begin in March or early April , the transition to move 5 to 10 million gallons per day of the City's sewage to Oakland or San Lorenzo is significant and could take many years to accomplish. He said the City needs to keep in mind the need to maintain its essential structures in the event of a significant seismic event during that transition time. Council Member Myers concurred with holding off on the contract until after staff meets with the two Districts. Council Member Perry said the staff report should include information on what happens if the odor-control system fails and the City is, what kinds of contracts are involved, who would be responsible for capital improvements. Mr. Oliver said transition of the City's treatment program would be extremely complex and would consider physical facilities, rate payers, etc. Council Member Perry asked for a time line regarding seismic retrofit vs. consolidation. Mayor Corbett said it is the Council 's intention to move along with seismic retrofit as quickly as possible.
