34 could be named as parties to the suit, Jenks & Adamson having constructed or designed this section. Likewise, if designed by Ribera & Sue, it would be their worry re fencing or not along the creek. !Ær. Ullrich said all things must be weighed regarding an open stream system or a culverted one. Liability now, and always has been, is to determine whether we can afford the liability.) tk. Batsford concluded - that it is hard to visualize the amount of water that comes down the creek at storm stages unless you have seen it. (r~. Morton and Mr. Paulson entered the meeting just prior to Mr. Ullrich's statements above. (8 p.m.) (~~. Sue and ~k. Singer arrived at approx. 8:20 p.m.) 11R. JOIIN SUE AND 111m.. PHIL SINGER displayed drawings of plans rlAIl and IIAall, and provided copies of comparative cost estimates of an 8 acre area - Scheme IIAfi wit11. stream and IIAa" with culvert and pond: and showed miniature models of these plans. Mr. Sue noted addition of a suggested pond and lagoon on plan IIAall and said that total cost differential in the two plans was less than $17,000 - (l~s. Spangler arrived)-Scheme A=stream: $489,060, and Scheme Aa-culvert & pond: $505,770*(*It was noted that scheme Aa included the $177,000 of funds which would be available from bond monies.); that in a conservation sense, there is no chance of survival of animal life in a controlled channel if walls had to be built and the stream surfaced; that by spreading picnic areas through the park, as in plan Aa, there could be a continuois land meadow which takes advantage of open space on both sides and by adding the pond or lagoon element the water aspect would be in- viting; that he had contacted a number of people regarding maintenance and cleanup of open stream treatments-after a storm- and none have statisical data of costs although all agreed there is an added maintenance problem and a main problem of debtis¡ dimensions of the lagoon were approx. 200' in length - 1/3 of an acre, and suggested site near present site of park storage yard: lagoon area would include pathways to waters edge, depth of lagoons could vary 3-61 or shallower as use determined; mounded forms could be created at the site as opposed to just flat land treatment; lagoons could be designed and constructed to provide a safety aspect; and noted that after discussion with staff that he would recommend consideration of plan Aa - culvert and pond. (Mr. Stuart arrived during Mr. Sue's presentation- (9:05) Chairman Knecht thanked Mr. Sue and Mr. Singer for their present= ation. (No action was taken-as this was not an agenda item.); and thanked Mr. Batsford for his information and presentation. (~ressrs.
