411) Director of Public Works responded that the balance of Roosevelt Avenue would be scheduled for first of next year , since if done now would conflict with the con- - struction currently in progress .

Motion carried on roll call vote . Councilman Petersen inquired when Murray Court Assessment District would be coming up . City Manager reported that at least three efforts to create an assessment district had been made in the past ; that local engineers had made a survey of the area , came up with rough specifications , estimates of costs , petition had been circulated by residents , but that not enough interest in project was generated .

Councilman Henderson requested the record show her opposition , and her belief that study should be made to examine facets of dike construction . Bill Caryl , of DMJM, pointed out that their firm had submitted their engineering design to FHA for proposed exterior levees and described conditions under which vertical sections required . He stated specifications fit actual conditions of the time . Sections constructed indicate very little erosion had taken place . He stated this levee construction is separate from construction of streets , so that if recommendation does come from FHA requiring different type of section , this is merely one of many bid items which could be modified . Actual con - struction of subdivision therefore need not be held up because of this one item . Councilman Rosselli noted original feasibility report recommended different slope construction and wondered if altering the design would have effect on aesthetics , and whether tides and currents would have an effect . Mr . Caryl state d they believed rock slope proposed would enhance the aesthetics . Proposed construction requires sheet piling . Several sections of riprap will cover various conditions . Councilman Keckley noted with respect to FHA question that it was necessary for Council to approve some type of levee before the Agency can approve or disapprove and that he is willing to accept the recommendations of Dames and Moore and DMJM , Councilman Henderson brought out question of slope failure in 1967 , and City Manager noted the problem occurred in area of Dredge A , newly constructed . Dikes now being discussed had been proved out , having been in place fifty years without failure .
