I STREET IMPROVEMENTS - ALAMEDA DE LAS PULGAS - WHIPPLE AVENUE TO EDGEWOOD ROAD. City 44.1 Engineer Jain submitted letter with attached petitions for this improvement represent- ,ing 62.8 per cent of the total front footage along this street but did not include the portion of Alameda de las Pulgas between Edgewood Road and Cordilleras Creek.. It was recommended that the street be improved to full pavement width of 56 feet and full right-of-way width of 80 feet, which would require that an additional 14 feet be ac- quired along the westerly side of Alameda de las Pulgas, all of which was in County territory. The County requested that the City prepare plans and specifications and it was recommended that City Engineer's office be authorized to prepare them and set up necessary joint assessment district, subject to receipt of the necessary resolutions I '�nd instructions from the County Board of Supervisors authorizing the City to do the JI� work. It was also recommended that a center 22 feet be improved out of City funds as a gas tax project covering this protion of expenditure. Further recommendation was that City Auditor be authorized to advance moneys from General Fund to be reimbursed from .assessment district. It was believed that the County should acquire the addition- al 14 feet necessary for the widening -as the widening would all be in County territory. Councilman Granger moved that Engineering Department be authorized to proceed, sec- onded by Councilman Holmquist. Councilman Britschgi understood the funds were some- what depleted at the present time and wanted to know where the City would get the money. City Manager Rolison stated the second installment of taxes would be coming in soon. It was necessary to start on the plans if the work would be done this season. City Engineer would also do plans and specifications and field surveys if not too overloaded. Motion carried on roll call vote, Councilman Britschgi voting No, and Councilman Spillers noted absent. Councilman Britschgi asked that a report from the Auditor be placed on the agenda for .the next meeting to find out just how and from where the money would be advanced. MR.
