Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - July 17, 1995 Page - 20 - NEW BUSINESS (continued) appropriate time to negotiate for the veto-proof option. He said the City should not decide if the Valley should grow, but he wants to be in a position to obtain revenue if it does grow. He said Dublin-San Ramon is not at the table because of the growth issue, but they constitute 30% of the growth. He said San Leandro should fight for its right to sell excess capacity in the future without threat of veto and should ask for more discussion on the influent/effluent issue. He said part of Dublin-San Ramon's vote was in solidarity with San Leandro. Council Member Loeffler asked for clarification on the recommendation to protect the City's interest. The City Attorney said an abstention would count as a No vote under the JPA. Council Member Loeffler said the Council is in agreement on protecting San Leandro's capacity. He said he believes LAVWMA will come back to the table to obtain access to the capacity. It was moved by Council Member Myers to direct the City's Representative and Alternate to the East Bay Discharger's Authority (EBDA) to vote "NO" on the current Livermore-Amador Valley Water Management Agency (LAVWMA) proposal and instruct the San Leandro Representative and Alternate to urge EBDA to continue negotiations and work toward resolution of outstanding issues, such as active participation of Dublin-San Ramon Services District in the LAVWMA proposal and resolution regarding EBDA's member agencies' ability to sell excess capacity to LAVWMA. Council Member Perry requested that the motion include regular periodic reports on the matter. She said she is comfortable with the issue of selling the City's capacity, but she is not comfortable with dictating growth management until she has more information as to the reasons from the other agencies. Council Member Galvan said he did not recommend deleting language related to growth control but felt additional discussion and negotiation were needed to get Dublin-San Ramon back to the table. Council Member Perry said she would like to see all the unresolved issues come back. Council Member Myers clarified that his motion was to vote No but keep the negotiations open. He amended his motion to require periodic reports. In response to a question by Mayor Corbett, Council Member Galvan said Hayward requested the urban limit line and the issue of influent/ effluent measurement. He said it is an EBDA member issue, not a LAVWMA issue. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Kerr. Council Member Myers repeated the motion.
