President Branscheid requested that the City Manager give a brief resume of this project and Mr. Froerer stated the Disposal System consists of a pumping plant which is aimed at relieving the drainage in the west end of the City, commencing at Main Street and heading up all the north and south streets in that end of town. He state the new plant replaces the old system which was entirely incapable of handling the situation. The new plant consists of 2 large pumps with a capacity of 60 cubic feet per second and the system is equipped with a check gate which prevents the Bay water from flowing back; the pumps pickup the storm water and empty it into the Fortman Basin. Mr. Froerer stated this plant was designed a little more than five years ago and was financed jointly by the County and City of Alameda - the County allocating to the City a portion of the Gasoline Tax Funds of the County and the City supplying the balance from its Capital Outlays Fund. Mr. Froerer stated that,,, in his opinion, this new disposal system would eliminate all the serious drainage problems in the west end of the City which have caused so much inconvenience to the residents in that area.

The motion was seconded by Councilman Jones and unanimously carried. 22: From the Mayor, nominating Albert S.

Councilman Jones introduced the following ordinance, after which it was laid over under provision of law and the Charter: "Ordinance No. New Series An Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 673, New Series Entitled, "An Ordinance Establishing a Retirement Pension and Insurance System for. Officers and Em- ployees of the City of Alameda,' by Amending, Add- ing and Repealing Certain Sections_ Thereof. Councilman Jones stated he felt it should be pointed out that the amendments set forth in the ordinance have been made in accordance with recommendations of the City's Actuaries, who state that such amendments are necessary to bring the ordi- nance up to date. He also stated that the proposed amendments were drafted after consulting representatives of the employees and the subject has been fully studied and thoroughly considered by the Council. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: 29: The matter was presented concerning the City's operation of the Tuberculosis Clinic which is now conducted by Alameda. County Tuberculosis and Health Association. President Branscheid requested the City Manager to review the situation. Mr. Froerer stated that in 1948 the Tuberculosis Association, in order to stimulate a Tuberculosis program in this City, agreed to pay the expenses of two health nurses and the expenses for clinicians and some other services. The service was installed with the understanding that it was a demonstration for the control of Tuberculosis and the City would be requested to undertake the expense of continuing this program or an adequate Tuberculosis control program. In 1949 the Tuberculosis Association withdrew its sponsorship of one nurse and the cost of the clinician. As of July 1, 1950, the Tuberculosis Association will withdraw the underwriting of the present nurse but in order to insure the program of Tuberculosis control, it roposes to give to the City a 70 mm Fluorographic machine, the cost of which is ;10,000., with the specific understanding that the City will use it to the best advantage and will permit physicians, where they so desire, to refer their patients to the Health De- partment for the tests to determine whether or not there is Tuberculosis. He said there would be no further underwriting of the Tuberculosis program by the Associa- tion, with the exception of the development of the films. Mr. Froerer observed that the Tuberculosis Association has, throughout the past two years performed a valuable service to the City, and that by giving this machine, it desires to make possible the continuance of a control program. He stated the estimated cost to the City to assume the expenses of the nurses and for the instal- lation of the equipment would be some $4,800. President Branscheid remarked that as far as he knew, the Tuberculosis Association would continue to send its mobile units to the City for the purpose of taking chest pictures. Councilman Jones stated it was his understanding that this matter has also been con- sidered by the Hospital Association which has given its endorsement to the suggested plan. He stated the Council had been anxious to have this matter looked into by Dr. Frost and that Dr. Frost, after considering it thoroughly, feels it would be advis- able to accept the offer made by the Tuberculosis Association. Councilman Jones thereupon moved the City Manager be instructed to avail the City, through the Health Officer, of the offer made by this Association. The motion was seconded by Councilman Anderson and on roll call carried by the following vote. Ayes: Councilmen Anderson, Jones, Osborn, Sweeney and President Branscheid, (5). Noes: None. Absent: None. Councilman Anderson stated he was very glad to see a communication from Dr. Paul Cronenwett of the Alameda Hospital Staff of Doctors, recommending that the City accept the offer to continue the program and pointed out that, in his opinion, it speaks for any doctor in. Alameda who can take his patients to the Alameda Hospital. President Branscheid stated he felt the City should recognize the work done by the Tuberculosis Association in Alameda and that due credit should be given Dr. Alice Challen who has been behind this work from the very outset and who is largely re- sponsible for the organization of the clinic which is considered to be one of the very finest in the State.
