4 1i 2 Mr . Arnold Padilla, 701 . 9th Avenue , Chairman , Fair Oaks Target Area Committee , spoke with regard to the directorship of Fair Oaks Community Center , and felt that the salary proposed for the position was not sufficient to attract a suitably qualified person . He suggested a range of $1200- S1500 per month . In the ensuing discussion , City Manager indicated he was quite definite as to what he felt the salary should be and had so indicated to Council . He felt that it may prove out to be necessary to pay more than what was recommended , and in that event would recommend that the range be increased . Mr . Ron MacQuarrie , 558 Keelson Circle , commented on the Capital Improvement Program recommendations for GID 1-64, and felt that the Belmont Station Pressure Facility, recommended to be relocated , should not be coming out of additional bonds , but perhaps rather from water revenues . He also felt that there should be provision for maintenance and/or inspection of the levees . He also felt there should be a tentative four year forecast in the Budget . City Manager responded with regard to the last comment , advising that it was felt that the items proposed for 1973-74 should be done in those years , but that City must await further decision with respect to the developer in order to space District obligations , and plan a construction schedule with some definite chronology . If a development schedule is scheduled for this fiscal year, then by the next budget there would be enough information to spread the program out for the next four years . He stated that the other items mentioned were simply a matter of Council policy . Councilman Williams referred to comment in the Capital. Improvement Program relative to indication of " extreme wear in some areas of the levee which will require attention in 1973--74" , and suggested that the actual flooding that occurred was actually due to the extreme weather last winter , and not necessarily that they were not maintained . City Manager agreed that the high water in January had an effect , but also felt that ongoing maintenance should be promulgated . In response to question by Councilman Norris , he advised that the criteria essentially were that those things of District - wide benefit should be funded by the District , and those of local benefit should be funded by the developer . In response to further question by Councilman Norris , City Manager advised that the City maintains waterways out of general operating funds . With regard to maintenance of levees , Director of Public Works indicated that only one set of levees had been brought up to standard , the remainder had not , and this should be the Districts responsibility . Mr . Miguel Maldonado spoke with regard to the Community Education Center and their request for S12 , 000 . Councilman Henderson questioned if Council intended to proceed with authoriza- tion of this expenditure , which would not be incorporated into the Budget at this time , how it would be accommodated . City Manager indicated he would recommend that if Council should be so inclined , that they indicate approval in principle , and after funds are actually available , in July , formal action could be taken . 6/18/73 Reg .
