having presented a petition signed by certain builders, contractors and

urged to develop and finance Highway 4 at State expense; and
Mr. Kenneth Hofmann, President of Hofmann Company, builders
of Discovery Bay, having advised that he agreed that there is a need to
improve State Route 4, but the construction of State highways is the
responsibility of the State, and having indicated he would not object to the
proposed fee increase as long as work is commenced on a timely basis; and

the Chairman declared the hearing closed; and
Board members having discussed the need for the safety
improvements to the aforesaid portion of State Route 4 and the desirability
of cooperating with Caltrans in this project; and
Supervisor T. Torlakson having moved that the fee be increased
to $1 ,312; that it be collected at the building permit stage; that the increase

one year, and that it communicate to Caltrans its concerns that Caltrans follows
through on the Alternate Two improvement project; and

Supervisor N. C. Fanden having declared that she was of the
opinion that the fee should be collected at the time of final map approval
rather than at the building permit stage; and

that implementation of the increased fee should be delayed until Caltrans actually
starts construction of the improvements to State Route 4 rather than collecting
the fees immediately and holding the funds until construction has begun; and

vote separately on increasing the fee and on the time for implementation; and
