The City Manager reported that delays had occurred in providing
required information to Pacific Gas & Electric Co. in regard
to the efforts currently being made to arrive at a mutually
acceptable valuation of the City's gas system. A memorandum
dated December 2, 1964 from the City Manager was read to the
Council in which the need was pointed out for the Council to
consider the hiring of an engineering fi'rm to analyze the entire
project. It was stressed that in the City Manager's opinion
many facts are missing which should be the basis for any
decision to either sell or keep the Municipal gas system.
It was also stressed that accumulation of the missing facts
would require specialized technical assistance.
It was recommended that a proposal from R. W. Beck & Associates
dated November 30, 1964, which was also read to the Council
be considered for approval at the earliest possible time. The
