Councilman Petersen moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5664 APPROVING AGREEMENT FOR APPRAISAL AND ACQUISITION NEGOTIATION SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT SD -21 (STULSAFT BRANCH), AND AUTHORIZING ITS EXECUTION, seconded by Councilman Granger. Acting City Attorney recommended that Gardner -Piercy & Company, Appraisers, be retained for this work as they were well qualified and experienced in this specialized appraising field, but also because of the number of ac- quistion projects now being processed and need for an additional firm. Councilman Petersen expressed concern that this project implied improve- ments to be made in the Stulsaft Creek Branch area West of the Alameda as Council had earlier made certain commitments to property owners that creek would not be gunited as part of this storm drain improvements. City Manager assured Council that commitments made to residents prior to this bond issue election in this area were being maintained, as tributaries in this area small and water flow relatively negligible, and before any im- provements made a further review was intended. He advised Mr. Adamson would present a report and recommendation for this area inthe near future. AM 9 •86
