7 a, The following appeared : Harry Happ , 2509 Carson Street , stated he had lived there 19 years and no problem existed , except for erosion on one parcel ; he advised retaining walls which were built had been installed by contractor during subdivision improvements and under building permit by City . E . J . Sloan , 2502 Goodwin , spoke of problems of erosion and felt more improvements needed but wanted trees protected in area , also noted improvement need for culvert at Connecticut . Ella Butterfield , 2321 Carson , suggested improving culverts at several streets in area . Harold Olson , 2570 Goodwin , protested improvements and suggested improvements to culverts under street . Burrell Jackson , 2819 Carson , advised of having presented two more protests against improvements for this creek area . Nat Garibaldi , 2803 Carson , agreed need of improvements should be settled by engineering studies , not by votes , and spoke of need for improvements in specific areas where erosion does exist . In response to question on " spot improvement " possibilities under this bond issue , City Attorney advised if this meant improvement of portions only of a creek bed , question would then arise if would result primarily in benefit of individual pro - perty owner , and if this the case , would not be to general purpose and intent of the District . If it should be proved a spot improvement would be of benefit to entire area and resulted from engineering study recommendations , it might be possible to construct less than full channel improvements , but again stressed spot improvements would have to be justified by engineering reports . Charles Seals , 2522 Goodwin , reported on erosion problems on his own property and expenses involved , and felt improvements needed and trees could be protected if planned correctly . Wayne Shipley , 2511 Carson , favored spot improvements as bene - fitting entire block and would still leave creek in its natural state .

Batsford advised drains most important and most problems = = due to debris blocking flows , but assured culverts would be checked in any channel work .

Councilman Weymouth moved to authorize Staff to proceed as recommended , seconded by Councilman Keckley , Councilman Henderson suggested a general cleaning up of this section be included as a consideration along with the spot type impovement possibility to which City Manager advised a check would be made to ascertain if this might not help improve the flow of water . Councilman Rosselli suggested continuing action on this section for a further review of past history on Council commitments for this area . Previous Council commitments tt vrts
