nomination. The Rodeo Sanitary District agreed that Mr.
Griffanti should be reappointed. The Oakley and Byron Sanitary
Districts recommended the appointment of Mr. Dwight Meadows, who
is a member of the :Oakley Sanitary District Board of Directors
and the Chairman of the Oakley-Bethel Island Wastewater
Management Authority. The other districts have not responded.
On February 13, 1989, our Committee met with Mr. Meadows, Mr.
Griffanti, the Chair of the Solid Waste Commission, and staff
from the Community Development Department. Mr. Meadows noted the
interest of the East County sanitary districts in having
representation on the Solid Waste Commission.
One possibility that has been suggested is to add an additional
seat to the Solid Waste Commission so that the six special
districts have two seats rather than one. It might even be
possible to reserve this additional seat for a .representative
nominated by the east County districts. We have informally asked
the Solid Waste Commission to consider this suggestion and advise
us of their recommendation.
Our Committee is in agreement with the appointment of Mr. Dwight
Meadows. However, we also want to honor Ben Griffanti for his
long and dedicated service to the people of Contra Costa County
and insure that the Board of Supervisors and the Solid Waste
Commission express their appreciation to him.

Adopted this Order on March 7 , 1989, by the following vote:
AYES: Supervisors Powers, McPeak, Fanden and Torlakson
