WRITTEN COTWMICATIONS.
The following communications, received from the persons, firms or
corporations hereinafter named, were read to the Council and were disposed
of in the manner indicated following reference to each hereinafter:
PUBLIC ROADS ADMINISTRATION, FEDERAL WORKS AGENCY, dated January
13, 1945, over the signature of Chas. C. Morris, Division Engineer,7
calling attention to the deteriorated and inadequate condition of E1 Segundo
Boulevard, bets,leen Sepulveda Boulevard and Main Street, in the City of
E1 Segundd, which is an access road immediately essential to the war effort.
Trie letter contains recommendations for certain improvements to be con-
structed in said Highxay and the writer explains that he will recommend•
the project for partial financing from Federal Access Road Funds if the
City of El Segundo will participate to the extent of at least 50% of the
construction cost and agree to maintain the highway after the project is
constructed.
--The City - ,Clerk -then -stated. to the Council that before acting upon .
the foregoing communication, he thought it advisable for the. Council to _.
hear read another letter bearing on the same subject received from-the
Standard Oil Company of Ca=lifornia, dated January 17, 1945, over the
signature of 710m. W. Davison, Yanager, E1 Segundo Refinery, advising with
reference to the proposal of the Public Roads Administration, Federal
I•
�Vorks Agency, in which said Administration recommends the improvement
of E1 Segundo Boulevard between Main Street and Sepulveda Boulevard and
proposes to apply for Federal funds to assist in the cost of improving
said highway; that Standard Gil Company of California will contribute
1/4 of the cost of the project, contingent upon the Government authorizing
the same as outlined in the before mentioned letter and that such project
is actually completed.
Following consideration of the matters set forth in the two
communications next before referred to., and believing that in view of
the permanent nature of the proposed improvements and the benefits there-
from which will accrue to the City- of E1 Segundo, said City should
nartidipate to the extent of at least 50% of the cost of construction
and following completion of the proposed project, should thereaftdr
maintain the said highway, it was moved by Councilman Skelley, seconded
by Councilman Hesser, the following resolution be adopted:

Oil Company of California,--dated January 17, 1945,
and agreeing to pay'l/4 of the cost of the proposed
improvement of El Segundo Boulevard as a Federal
project in event the City desires to participate in
such project, be received and placed on file in the

With further reference to the same matter, it was moved by
Councilman Hesser, seconded by Councilman Selby, that the following
resolution be adopted:
V,'I�REAS, the City Council of the City of E1 Segundo,
California, has received'a communication in words and figures
as follows:
"PUBLIC ROADS ADMINISTRATION
Federal Works Agency
Division Seven
720 Phelan Building
San Francisco 2, California
"481 Calif. Industrial Access
(Standard Oil - El Segundo January 13, 1945.
City of E1 Segundo,
E1 Segundo, California '
Gentlemen:
Officials of the Standard 011 Company called my _
attention to the deteriorated and inadequate condition
of E1 Segundo Boulevard, between Sepulveda Boulevard
and Main Street, in the City of E1 Segundo and on
November 14 the street was reviewed by a representative
of this office in company with representatives of the
California Division of Highways and the Standard Oil
Company. The condition of the street and the possi-
bility of its improvement were discussed with Mr. D. W.
Peterson, City Councilman, by Mr. Alderton, of this
office.
As a result of the field review it was determined
that, in order to provide a substantial and adequate
improvement of E1 Segundo Boulevard, the grade should
be revised to nroviie adequate sight distance, a
minimum of 2 inches of bituminous plantmix material
should be placed over sections where the existing road
is undisturbed, with 4 inches of bituminous plantmix
surfacing on new subgrade, to provide a 24 foot roadway
throughout with 7 foot roadmixed bituminous shoulders
on both sides of the paved roadway. It is estimated
that the proposed improvement will cost X47,000.
I am prepared to recommend such a project for par-
tial financing from Federal Access Road funds. Honever,
it must be understood that approval is subject to the
availability of funds and to certification, by the Zar
Production Board, that the proposed work is important
to the war program.
It is evident that the proposed improvement, if
constructed, will render a permanent service-of sub-
stantial benefit to the City of E1 Segundo. Federal
funds available for new access road projects are seriously
depleted, and only the most urgent work immediately
essential to the war effort can be financed from these
funds. Under these circumstances it is necessary that
the maximum possible participation be secured from local
agencies interested in, and benefited by, proposed
improvement, and the extent of such participation may
be a decisive factor in approval.
I feel that in view of the permanent nature of the
improvements and benefits accruing therefrom the City
of El Segundo should participate to the extent of at
least 50 percent of the cost of construction.
It is assumed that the improvement will occupy
existing rights of way, that the City of E1 Segundo will
be responsible for future maintenance if the project
is constructed, and that Federal funds will not be
expected for either of these items.
If the improvement outlined above is satisfactory
to the City of E1 Segundo I will submit a project
statement, requesting War Production Board certification
and the allocation of Federal funds upon receipt of a
statement as to the extent of City participation in
the cost of the project if approved and constructed.
Statements from the Los Angeles Office of Defense
Transportation and the Marketing Division, Petroleum
Administration for gar, as to war connected need for
the proposed improvement of El Segundo Boulevard would
be very helpful in obtaining War Production Board certi-
fication and I suggest that a , recommendation be obtained
from these agencies by the City of E1 Gegundo.
An early reply will be appreciated.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) Chas. C. Morris
Division Engineer"
