Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - November 6, 1995 Page - 14 - NEW BUSINESS (continued) H. Matter of Proposal by Dublin-San Ramon Services District to Buy Capacity from East Bay Dischargers Authority (EBDA) . - Motion Providing Direction to City's East Bay Dischargers Authority Representative. Council Member Galvan requested City Council support of the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) proposal . He said staff and the East Bay Dischargers Authority (EBDA) have analyzed the proposal and recommend approval . He said Union Sanitary District has approved the proposal , and Oro Loma and Castro Valley Sanitary Districts will be meeting soon. He said the proposal has brought the Livermore-Amador Valley Water Management Agency (LAVWMA) back to the table with EBDA. He said EBDA will meet again in a few weeks to get LAVWMA's proposal and will then have two proposals to consider. He asked for City Council support of the DSRSD proposal . Mayor Corbett noted the City's staff report did not have a recommendation. Council Member Gal van said EBDA staff recommends approval . He said Bob Taylor's report indicated this may be the last chance. Council Member Galvan said the LAVWMA offer is contingent on a vote of the people of Livermore and Pleasanton; the DSRSD proposal does not need voter approval and would double the amount paid per mgd. Mayor Corbett said she would like to see the full EBDA report. She asked if LAVWMA may come back with a sweeter deal . Council Member Galvan said DSRSD's proposal is higher because they are going to put traffic mitigation of $1 million into the EBDA pot. He said he doesn't know if LAVWMA will be willing to do that. In response to Council questions, Council Member Galvan said, if all five agencies agree, they don't have to accept the DSRSD proposal ; they can wait and see what LAVWMA proposes. Mayor Corbett said she wants to see the EBDA report and see what City staff thinks. She also wants to see what LAVWMA comes back with before accepting the DSRSD offer. Council Member Myers said the City Council knows what is on the table now and suggested Council Member Galvan be given direction now in case another proposal comes forward before the next City Council meeting. He said a motion could be worded so that Council Member Galvan can proceed but come back to the Council with any other proposals. Council Member Galvan said any LAVWMA proposal would be contingent on a vote of the people, and the likelihood of voter approval is slim. He said DSRSD has the autonomy and the money, and he does not want to see the City lose this opportunity.
