403 courts in Spinas Park at Second Avenue . A total of $13, 500 was included in the 1972-73 Capital Improvement Budget for the purpose of lighting tennis courts in the City, either those located at Sequoia High School or others as might be determined by the Council . Subsequently, when negotiations re- garding the high school courts proved unsuccessful, it was decided to utilize the budgeted funds in order to provide lighting for the courts at Spinas Park . Application had been made for a "negative declaration " of environmental impact under Resolution No . 6882 . This application would be processed prior to the bid opening . ( d ) Catch Basin Siphon Conversion Project . This project was designed by the Department of Public Works , and would eliminate seven of the most aggravated storm water siphon nuisances . These siphons , or " sag drains " as they are sometimes called , convey water under street intersections and return it to the surface by flow out of a catch basin into a gutter . The result of the significant amount of water standing in these pipes and catch basins , along with the addition of lawn clippings and other debris , leads to very septic conditions with resulting odor and health problems . Additionally, many of these siphons also create a very expensive maintenance problem in that they become plugged with silt and debris and require many hours of a Public Works crew ' s time to clear . The seven siphons to be eliminated are located as follows : 1 . McGarvey at Farm Hill Boulevard 2 , Farm Hill Boulevard at Carson Reservoir 3 . Mitchell Way near Sterling Way 4 . St . Francis at Sapphire 5 . Whipple Avenue at Alameda de las Pulgas 6 . Parkwood at Camellia 7 . Cedarwood at Camellia No diversion of drainage water is involved in this project as all water is being piped underground along the present gutter flow paths to the same disposal points . Application had been made for a "negative declaration" of environmental impact under Resolution No . 6882 . This application would be processed prior to the bid opening . ( e ) Belpipes Project - Redwood Shores , GID 1.64 . After considerable dis- cussion it was brought out that this project had been a long time in coming . Plans and specifications for this project were modified by the - Department of Public Works from the original proposal by DMJM . This project would create an inlet from Belmont Slough into the present eastern terminus of the interior waterway system . 5/21/73 Reg . Mtg .
