been presented by the inability to keep the access gate from
Arthur Road to the Martinez Gun Club and Acme property secured
when not actually being used by someone who has reason to have
access to this area.
Attached is a status report from Chuck Zahn in the Community
Development Department responding to each of the requests made by
the Board. On September 9, 1991 our Committee met with Chuck
Zahn and Louise Aiello from the Community Development Department,
Dorothy Sakazaki a resident of the Arthur Road area, and Jim
Pezzaglia, representing Acme Landfill. We believe that the
attached report adequately provides a status report on the
referrals made by the Board.
We have asked for further information on the question of the
access gate, since Acme has agreed to post a security guard there
to try to determine who is leaving the gate open and who is
gaining access to this area as a result of the gate' s being left
open. We will review that data next month and will report our
conclusions and recommendations to the Board thereafter.
As is noted in the attached report, the question of host
community mitigation needs to be addressed as a part of the
negotiations over the franchise for the Acme Transfer Station and
are a part of the discussions regarding the possibility of
forming a joint powers authority to purchase the Acme Transfer
Station.

FROM: Charles A. Zahn, Assistant Director--Conservation Programs
SUBJECT: STATUS REPORT--ACME TRANSFER STATION CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
The status of the matters covered in the Board's June 10, 1991 Board Order, regarding the
Conditions of Approval for the ACME Transfer Station, is outlined below.
1. Removal of Concrete Blocks. The concrete blocks were removed in July, 1991 by Public
Works Department staff.
2. Host Mitigation Compensation. Host mitigation compensation will be considered as part
of the negotiations on the Franchise for the ACME Transfer Station. These negotiations are
closely related to the negotiations to establish a public agency Joint Powers Agreement for the
purchase of the ACME Transfer Station. Resolution is not concluded.
3. Litter Control/Sheriff-Coroner. Discussions with Public Works Department and Sheriff
Department staff resulted in an understanding by Sheriff Department staff that they will explore
general litter control financing in connection with disposal facility franchising.
4. Gate Access--Arthur Road Area. ACME has undertaken efforts to assure minimal use of
the gate at Arthur Road and its closure. New locks were placed on the gate; however, these were
shot off. Discussions with the Gun Club regarding methods to monitor use of the gate resulted
following the incidents with the gate locks. At this time, ACME believes it is important to
determine exactly what is happening in the area. To do so, a guard will be posted at the gate to
verify users and to provide information regarding problems that may occur.
Previously, consideration was given to a second gate at the entrance to the Transfer Station
which might have inhibited use of the Arthur Road access. Due to the relocation of the new
intersection southward, an additional gate at the Arthur Road access is no longer practicable. '
