the acquisition of easements on the Esperanza Trunk. The distance
between manholes one of the main problems. This would require
an additional manhole at approximately $4000.00 if installed with
the Sanitation District or an estimated $10,000 if we install it
later. Two different type of pipe were approved in specific places
in the trunk. Armco Truss and Tekite were the two types that were
allowed along with the VCP. Discussion. Moved by Director Wagner
seconded by Director Lindow approving the recommendations of Mr.
Sam Peterson with regard to the additional manhole. Motion carried

in the job. Mr. Peterson left the meeting.
Mr. Shook read an Ordinance from Placentia with regard to cancelling
the 5% utility tax from the Director of Finance. The only utility
the tax has been removed from is the water utility and it was agreed
that any meters read after November 1, 1975 would not be taxed,
November 1, 1975 being the effective date of the ordinance. This
then would not necessitate any special reading of meters or pro-
rating of bills.
