1. The Improvement District be abondoned as a 1913 Act Project and reinstated as a 1911 Act Project. 2. The boundaries of the district be expanded to include -- (a) Sidewalks on the south side of Broadway. 143 (b) Sidewalks on both sides of Beech Street between Spring Street and Broadway and, if right-of-way is acquired for the extension of Broadway into Redwood Industrial Tract No. 1, the inclusion of full street improvements for this extension. (c) Storm drains through the entire tract. (d) Full street improvements on Bradford Street between Walnut Street and Maple Street. 3- Connect the proposed storm drain system into the existing 1911 sanitary sewer. line west of Steinberger Street and the old sewage pumping plant at the north end of Steinberger Street, to be used as a storm sewage system in addition to handling the sanitary sewage from the Frank Tannery property. 4. Re-establish the,grades along Liguori Street and Maple Street to conform to the new storm sewer system. 5- Abandon the idea of making a connection at Maple Street and Bayshore Highway which has been forbidden by the State Highway Department. 6. Negotiate for SO feet right-of-way to connect Liguori Street with Marshall Street, west of Main Street, and include improvements of said extension in this improvement district before this land is resold and commercial build- ings constructed thereon. Mr. Jain thought the entire area between Broadway and Bayshore Highway should be included in this district in order to properly handle the drainage and sewage dis- posal problem. The present culverts under the Bayshore Highway were too high to drain the area. The existing 1511 sewer line in Steinberger Street and the 3011 sewer line in Harbor Boulevard could be used as gravity storm sewer lines leading to the existing pumping plants now operating, and could be maintained at a nominal cost. The storm sewer could be jacked under the Bayshore Highway at or near National Avenue and connections made to drain the Redwood Industrial Tract No. 1, National Motor Bearing property and Chestnut Street drainage to the old county seweroutfallin Harbor Boulevard. Frost & Brian had agreed to prepare the necessary plans and specifications for en- larged assessment district including.any required grade changes, additions, and corrections to their original plans for the sum of 5% of the contract cost or esti- mated construction cost, legs any previous payments made to them for the original district. Previous payments had amounted to 5% of the original estimated cost, or approximately $5,000. They had further agreed to prepare the necessary assessment diagrams and spread of assessments for an additional 1% of the contract cost. Mr. Jain stated in the report submitted that he was contacting a bonding company in San Francisco in regards to the sale of improvement bonds and should have that infor- mation in a few days. . Mr. Jain had contacted several property owners heavily interested and they were unanimously in favor of the improvements. Mr. Ernest Wilson started the original proceedings and was willing to continue to act as legal adviser at the same rate of 2% of the total contract. In view of the fact that this should be started as quickly as possible it was suggested by the Mayor that phases of this project be considered at the adjourned meeting on Thursday, March 10th.
