<br />are being made to eliminate the problem, and that it will be included as a portion
<br />of the project under consideration, The basic problem appears to be inadequate
<br />catch basins,
<br />Ron Klein, 1245 Carson St., advised he resided in the flood
<br />problem area, and wondered if additional catch basins would
<br />be included in the project,
<br />Director of Public Works indicated these would probably be added as determined
<br />necessary,
<br />Dan Lopez, 1239 Alameda, stated there is a catch basin in
<br />front of his property; however, water overflows to extent it
<br />reaches his door, Despite cleanup by his neighbor and him-
<br />self, rain water remains and does not run off,
<br />Charles Seals, 2522 Goodwin Avenue, stated his neighbors
<br />favor the idea of spot improvement as opposed to general
<br />improvement,
<br />Director of Public Works began the discussion on the Kensington Branch, advising
<br />of information clinic on March 12, and requesting Mr. Batsford to report findings
<br />as presented at that clinic,
<br />Mr. Batsford stated the preliminary remarks for this Branch
<br />were substantially the same as for the previous discussion,
<br />that similar studies and surveys were made covering the chan-
<br />nel from Redwood Creek to Fernside Street, The general im-
<br />provement alignment was presented to those residents, Upper
<br />reaches of Kensington Branch are similar except the amount of
<br />water flow and size of channel are slightly less. He described
<br />the various recommendations for improvements such as rein-
<br />forced concrete pipe Fernside to Alameda, full improvements
<br />Alameda to Maddux, inadequate culvert Maddux to Redwood Creek,
<br />resulting in flooding each time it rains, He suggested two
<br />alternate routes for the Maddux to Redwood Creek, either of _
<br />which could be studied, given authorization,
<br />Council requested recommendations on upper section from Fernside, where City is
<br />more or less committed to leaving in present state, Mr. Batsford responded that
<br />the same alternatives are open as on the Stulsaft Branch,
<br />Councilman Rosselli moved to authorize construction as recommended for full improve-
<br />ments, Fernside to Maddux, to include proposal for Staff recommendations concerning
<br />spot improvements, seconded by Councilman Henderson,
<br />Tom Hattie, 2720 Kensington, questioned whether there was
<br />going to be covered reinforced concrete pipe,
<br />It was stated this would be the case from Fernside downstream,
<br />Glen Cooper, 1539 Granger, stated had a definite erosion pro-
<br />blem, and that channel had moved four to five feet due to
<br />erosion, primarily due to a neighbor's fence which had fallen
<br />into the creek and no effort made to remove it. He indicated
<br />he would like spot improvement..
<br />It was indicated that the question of spot improvement as a matter of investigation
<br />and recommendation by Staff was part of the motion. Motion carried, (MINUTE ORDER
<br />#70-6o)
<br />Discussion of the Jefferson Branch was begun by Director of Public Works, who ad- _
<br />vised of the information clinic on this portion on March 19, at which proposals for
<br />improvements were presented by Mr, Batsford,
<br />Mr, Batsford reported on the proposals stating it was recom-
<br />mended to install concrete pipe, beginning at Vera, upstream
<br />to Alameda, to include replacement of culvert from Vera to
<br />Windsor and hook into existing culvert at Alameda, which would
