further described the improvement work proposed to be done under the guidance of and as recommended by the consulting soils engineers, Shannon & Wilson. He advised Nob Hill Road would be restored in its present condition after drainage borings were covered, and of the grading to be done on two lots to be owned by City at top of slide by City expense, further grading below to be _ done at property owners' expense. Mr. Morley Turner, representing owner of Lot 13, advised he had not been notified of action proposed and it was apparent from illustrated chart of proposed corrective work that easements would be required of Lot 13. Acting City Attorney advised easement as indicated on the illustrated chart could not be negotiated for until after Council approval of the proposed plans and specifications, therefore, contact of those involved is not possible before this action taken. He further advised it should be patently clear that there could not help but be benefits to surrounding area of slide with improvements proposed. He also asked if Mr. Turner had authority to represent the owner of Lot he was referring to. Mr. Turner also alleged he had been advised by the City in a communication some two or thee months ago of the dangers apparent with his swimming pool and warned it should be drained. After further discussion concerning comunication alleged to have been received by Mr. Turner from City, Acting City Attorney requested that Mr. Turner dis- cuss this further with him at his offices. In respect to easement across Lot 13 not being granted by property owner, City Manager advised that soils engin- eers had advised this line could be eliminated as well as part of the drainage gallery proposed in front of Lot 13. Acting City Attorney advised Council that points expressed by Mr. Turner were basically of a self-serving nature, and urged Council proceed with specific action proposed. Norman Meadows, Attorney representing Mr. Parraga, owner of Lot 4 fronting on Farm Hill Blvd., asked if plans now proposed differed in any way from those which had been discussed at meeting held in January with property owners involved. Director of Public Works advised present proposed plans were identical to those discussed in January with the parties involved. Mr. Meadows also asked whether any drainage easements involved would affect any of lots facing on Farm Hill Blvd. Director of Public Works advised that no drainage easements were needed for lots at lower level. Motion to adopt Resolution carried unanimously on roll call vote. In reply to questioning as to the availability of slide area improvement reports, City Manager advised he would ask for more copies to be made available. Mayor Herkner advised Mr. Turner he would notify him as to the availability of a copy for his use, but that a copy was available for his inspection in the City Clerk's office.
