RE: AIR POLLUTION - File 13-4
Letter from the Bay Area Air Pollution Control District inviting the Council to attend a public meeting

the ban on burning of household rubbish on the premises of one and two-family dwellings throughout the
Bay Area, including Marin County. It was the consensus of opinion that a ban on burning was a little

subdued. City Manager, Dan Andersen was directed to attend the meeting and present the Council's
opinion.
The following items were held over for future consideration:

In the matter of (g) right-of-way agreement - Boswell Property - File 4-13-14. A report was made by
City Engineer, Ely Caillouette, Jr. that Mr. Boswell was willing to give the right-of-way but wanted it
stipulated that if the city at any time in the future would have to open the right-of-way, to examine tf
existing sanitary sewer that they would replace all improvements as they were. The City Engineer was
directed to contact the County to go ahead, and acquire what right-of-ways they needed and that the Citi
would not go along with the wording as proposed by Mr. Boswell.
All claims approved by the Finance Committee were presented and warrants ordered drawn for same as appears
