June 19, 1985 00M gCB 8 D JUL-31985 Department of Health Services State of California 714-744 P Street Sacramento, CA 95814 Attn: Director's Office Gentlemen:

At its meeting of June 4, 1985, the San Luis Obispo City Council took action to adopt the attached resolution. This resolution urges the State Legislature to hold public hearings in San Luis Obispo County regarding the storage of radioactive waste at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant.

The City of San Luis Obispo has long been concerned about the storage and transporation of radioactive waste. We would like to have an opportunity to discuss our concerns through the public hearing process. Of particular concern is the proposed reconstruction of the fuel handling building at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant.

The Council joins with me in urging the California Legislature, through its appropriate Committees, to hold, as soon as possible, exploratory public hearings in San Luis Obispo County on this important community concern.

We appreciate your attention to this very important issue. If we can be of assistance in contacting other involved agencies or departments, please contact me at (805) 549-7111.
