Mayor welcomed members of the Water Commission, stated that the
joint session was long overdue. He asked Chairman Lillo to dis-
cuss the Water Commission's program, what they had done in the
past and what they contemplated doing in the future. Chairman
Lillo thanked the Council for the opportunity of meeting with them
and stated that he was pleased with the ordinance that had been
prepared, outlining the Commission's duties, how they were to con-
duct their meeting and, of course, their chief responsibility, the
future development of the water system.
The Commission's main deliberations had to do with the discuss-
ion of a master water plan. They had interviewed two applicants,
namely Mark Thomas Company and William G. Dunn. The Commissioners
were presented and reviewed the background of both applicants but
that the William G. Dunn price of approximately $lg,OOO.OO was out
of the question. Mark Thomas Company submitted the proposal of a
minimum of $2,500.00 and a maximum of $5,000.00. This was the prop-
osition that the Water Commission, after due consideration, felt
would give the City all of the information that would be necessary
for the Master Water plan. This motion made by the Commission had
been sent down to the Council by the City Manager.
Councilman Lazaneo interjected the comment that he thought the
Commission had done an excellent job investigating the preparation
of a Master Plan and approved the idea.
Councilman Benetti wanted to know what information had been given
to the engineers for the preparation of a Master Plan. Commissioner
Stocklmeir explained the information that was furnished and what the
Commission felt the Council would accept, had been very well outlined
in the Mark Thomas proposal. He then gave an outline of the Cupertino
City Water Works.
Mayor Pelosl stated that he felt that the report should be further
studied before any action was taken.
The City Manager stated that a report had not been submitted. It
was a proposal and outline for a Master Plan together with the cost.
Councilman Jewett stated, after hearing from Chairman Lillo and
Commissioner S"ocklmeir, that he could see no reason why a motion
would not be in order to instruct Mark Thomas to prepare a master
plan. Councilman Jewett further stated that he had full confidence
in the Water Commission's recommendation and that the Master Plan
should be adopted as recommended. Mayor Pelosi again stated that he
would like to review the proposal before the Council acted on the
matter. Councilman Jewett withdrew his motion.
City Council instructed the C_Lty Manager to contact the City
Attorney and find out if the water department monies could be ex-
pended for a Master Plan.
Chairman Lillo called to the Council's attention the unfilled
60mmission seat that had been vacant for some time and urged that
the Council make every effort to find someone. Mayor said that the
Council will act on the appointment and would appreciate if the
Commission would suggest some names. The Mayor wanted the Commission
to know that a selection made by them the appointee would have a
tendency to be more cooperative with the entire Commission.

Commissioner Childs gave his appreciation to the Council for
