Communication from the County Health Dept. Re: Health Menace being caused by

overflowing septic tanks and cesspools in portions of the area known as "Phillips Syndicate
Addition" was read to the Council. At the request of the Mayor, a copy of the communicatioi
is to be spread in the Minute Book, and the communication was ordered received and filed.
The following is a copy of the letter
"Honorable City Council,
Gentlemen:
May we bring to your attention the
to health and the general nuisance
flowing septic tanks and cesspools
Phillips Syndicate bounded on the
on the east by Dana Avenue, on the
boundary, and some several hundred
on the west,
ever increaseing menace
being caused by over -
in the area known as
north by Slack Street,
south by the old city
feet west of Grand Ave.
The area has experienced considerable gf'owth during the
past several years withthe erection of many new homes which
have had to relj on septic tanks or cesspools for the dis-
posal of sewage. This, together with the fact that the soil
in the area is of an impervious nature and will not absorb
to a satisfactory and safe degree the effluent from septic
tanks, has created a very bad situation."
May we ask in the interest of public health and safety that
steps be taken as early as possible to alleviate this con-
dition by the installation of public sewerage?
Very sincerely,
H.O. Swartout, M. D.:
County Health Officer.

At this time Mr. Ernest Vollmer appeared before the Council relative to a
water leak problem. He stated the water meter serving the building occupied by Dyers
Variety Store onHiguera St. registered a tremendous consumption of water which could not
be accounted for and that his bill was $31.20 for the past month. He stated he was at_a
loss to know what to do as he had hired two plumbers to check the leak and they were unable
to find it, so he appealed to the Council to help him find the leak if possible. The
matter was referred to the Commissioner of Public Works for investigation.
At this time the meeting was opened for discussion with'the members of the
City Council and the City Employees relative to future plans in connection with pensions,
health insurance, vacations, etc.
The Mayor made a proposal to the employees, stating that the Council would
adopt a plan whereby the employees would be placed under the State Retirement System in
the near future, with one exception, "LESS THE RETROACTIVE FEATURE" of the Plan. After
a good deal of discussion, and an unofficial show of hands of the employees, it was
indicated that they were in favor of this plan. The Mayor and Council assured the employee;
that the older members of the City would be taken care of in some fashion and that they
would continue on in the same manner as in the past.
The Mayor further stated, that in the past the City of San Luis Obispo has
never had any real "personnel policy" and for this reason the Council is desirous of es
tablishing a uniform policy on pensions, health plan, vacations, etc. Also,the Council
are considering a 40 hour week for the employees, if it did not require more personnel.
Re: Vacations: it was decided upon that the policy would be, that all city
employees who complete 12 months service with the city would be entitled to two weeks
vacation, with pay.
Re: The recent established holidays was recalled which gives all city em-
ploynes the same holidays and provides for compensating time off for those whose duties
are required on holidays.
Re: Sick Leave: The Mayor assured the group the policy would be the same as
ih the past and did not thinkanyone was penalized whenthey were temporarily incapacitated
by illness.
Fie: Health Insurance:. The members of.the City Employees Assn. were urged to
make an early decision onthe health insurance plan, if they want to participate insuch a
plan; Milo Tappa, Vice Pres. of the Assn. was granted time off to check withall departments)
