3 City Manager continued with Community Progress Report as follows : Woodside Road Median Landscaping Project . Plans were reviewed with Ribera & Sue . A problem has developed , but it is hoped will be overcome . The Planning Manual of the Division of Highway Design states that trees exceeding 4 inches in diameter of trunk must be a minimum of 30 feet from the curb line . The medians are only 16 feet wide . It will be necessary to obtain a policy interpretation , and since the medians technically do not fall in the category of highway design , it is hoped that City can proceed with original plans . Observation Deck - Marina . This will be a very handsome facility and will be finished in approximately 30 days . Fair Oaks Community Facility . No further report at present . Staff is in touch with HUD people in San Francisco in an effort to keep abreast of the project . Mayor Bury requested a meeting of the Committee in order to keep people acquainted with status and to receive additional input from the community . (Memo 2 -3 -71) Water Quality Control Board Monitoring Program . Council had approved funding and call for bids on monitoring equipment . Executive Director of the Water Quality Control Board has been asked to bring this to the attention of the Board . City Manager further reported he is preparing to initiate an " in house " study of the sewer collection system to determine infiltration factor which is present . Water Quality Control Board has brought to City ' s attention the fact that there seems to be a rather abnormal increase in the amount of water passing through the system immediately after a rather sharp rainfall . There are several areas of infiltration possibilities . A plan is being set up to make a systematic review of covers of the sewer collection system . Also , a proposal will be brought to Council to employ college students in a summer work program to determine if there are illegal connections to the sewer system . No bids were received on the surplus property at Middlefield and Pine , and the Park and Recreation Commission has reiterated its desire that this small parcel be maintained, with the possibility that it may be used for a rest place as opposed to a mini park .
