DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS GLICKMAN MADE REPORTS AS FOLLOWS:
1. Reported that the City had received a draft Environmental Impact
Report covering the proposed storm drain terminus on the beach in E1 Segundo
and that a response has been requested by the State Lands Division concerning
this report.
The proposal is a cooperative project of the City and the Los Angeles
County Flood Control District and is intended to relieve serious flooding,
sanitation, health and traffic problems in the City during rainy weather.
The proposed project includes construction of a reinforced concrete box
716" wide by 413" high across the beach. During the summer months the
structure would be buried in the sand and would not be visible to those
utilizing the beach. During the winter months, approximately 20 to 30
feet at the tide Line would be visible; however, beach use at this time is
minimal.
The Staff had reviewed the draft Environmental Impact Report cover-
ing this project and had commented as follows:
1. The environmental impact of the lease is minimal when
consideration is given to the current impact of flooding,
sanitation, health, and traffic problems created by
normal rainfall in the community.
2. The unavoidable adverse environmental effects are found
to be insignificant since the structure will be exposed
only during winter months when the beach use is minimal.
3. A mitigating measure to be considered, in addition to
those mentioned in the report, is the consideration of
multi -use of the structure. Discussion with Los Angeles
County Beach Department concludes that it would be
feasible at some future date, as beach use increases,
to utilize the structure as a foundation for a lifeguard
tower.
4. There are no feasible alternatives to the lease if flooding,
sanitation, health, and traffic problems are to be elimi-
nated during the rainy season.
5. A study of the short term effects on the environment
versus long term productivity finds considerable benefit
to be derived by consideration of the project as a whole
during the years to come while the short term adverse
effect is limited to construction activities and the portion
of the structure exposed to view during winter months.
MOM
X 3352
6. The irreversible environmental changes involved under
the proposed lease are positive since they include elimi-
nation of the adverse effects of flooding, sanitation, health,
and traffic problems.
After discussion, motion was made by Councilman McGill, seconded
by Councilman Morgan that the Council concur in the comments of the
Department of Public Works, as set forth above, and that these comments
be submitted to the State Lands Division. Motion carried.
2. Presented for the Council's consideration Change Order No. 1
for Water Well No. 13, Operating Facilities (Project No. 71 -8). This
Change Order covers an increase in the contract in the amount of $2, 157. 40
for the furnishing and installation of one chlorine leak gas detector and one
additional well vault vent with associated wall sleeves. Funds to cover this
Change Order are available in the Water Capital Improvement Fund.
Recommended that said Change Order be approved.
Motion was made by Councilman Morgan, seconded by Councilman
McGill that Change Order No. 1, hereinabove referred to, be and the same
is hereby approved. Motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Councilmen McGill, Morgan, Nagel, Stephens
and Mayor Balmer;
Noes: Councilmen None;
Absent: Councilmen None.
3. Requested permission to purchase a 3 inch compound meter for
the proposed United Air Lines facility at 444 Nash Street from the second
low bidder, Hersey Company at a cost of $648. 65. The low bidder was
Gamon - Calmet Industries, Inc. Past experience with Gamon - Calmet
meters had not been satisfactory. A meter previously purchased from
this company had to be removed and returned. Furthermore, Gamon has
now informed its customers that it will no longer maintain an assembly
operation in San Diego but that future shipments will come from the main
plant at Florence, Kentucky.
Motion was made by Councilman Nagel, seconded by Councilman
McGill that the bid awarded to Gamon - Calmet Industries, Inc., for compound
water meters be rescinded and the second lowest bid be accepted from Hersey
Sparling Meter Company in amount of $648. 65 for one 3 inch compound meter
for the Water Division and that purchase order in that amount be issued to
