6. Seaport Boulevard Assessment District (407 -02) Report of City Manager and Director of Public Works 7/17/85 Director of Public Works Addiego commented and replied to questions by Council regarding the fact that the soil contamination was discovered in the course of testing by the landscape architects hired by the developer to determine suitability as a growing medium; that the recommendation is that it would be more economical to remove the contaminated soil and replace it in conjunction with the reconstruction and widening of Seaport Boulevard, and indicated that the removed material would be suitable in a limited way as fill. Pete Bohley, Brian, Kangas, Foulk, described the contaminant as an organic herbicide of an unknown source, and stated that the contaminated soil can be used under a roadway without any problem, since it is not toxic except to plants. M /S: Chandler /Stangel to authorize issuance of a Change Order by the Director of Public Works for removal and disposal of contaminated soil, and replacement with a suitable growing medium, and that the costs associated with the work be identified as a cost to the landscaping portion of the Assessment District. Carried unanimously by voice vote. MINUTE ORDER NO. 85 -106 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - -- 7. Willow Street Assessment District (407 -04) Report of City Manager and Director of Public Works 6/25/85 City Manager Smith and Director of Public Works Addiego commented and replied to questions by Council regarding the approximately six property owners in the proposed district, and the fact that the proposal originated with the request of one property owner for a permit to improve his parking lot, who objected to the condition requiring improvement of the length of Willow Street, and that Council therefore directed staff to proceed with establishment of an assessment district. Discussion continued regarding the need for the street to be upgraded; estimated costs of the project; concern regarding the ability of some of the property owners to participate financially; the fact that property values would be increased by the improvements; and whether an alternative should be considered at this time, to have Public Works staff meet with the property owners before making a decision as to whether to proceed with establishment of an assessment district. M /S: Rhodes /Mosher to continue the matter of a proposed Willow Street Assessment District until after a meeting of staff and the property owners for discussion to determine their interest in proceeding with an assessment district. Carried unanimously by roll call vote.
