4. Task Order No. 2
City Manager Sorsabal asked Council to accept the recommendations
made in the Preliminary Engineering Report, by Harris and
Associates, on Combining Storm Water Pump Stations Nos. 15 and 19
and Approve Task Order No. 2 to Perform More Detailed Design not
to exceed $60,000. Funds have been budgeted under Capital
Improvement Fund No. 301 -8303.
Bonneau H. Dickson Project Manager and Engineer stated based on
cost estimates, it appeared that the capital cost of a single
large pump station at the Pump Station (PS) 19 site and a gravity
sewer from the PS 15 site to this pump station, is six percent
lower than the capital cost of two separate pump stations. The
operating and maintenance (O &M) cost of one PS also is estimated
to be lower, by approximately $25,000 per year. Capitalized over
20 years, the savings in O &M cost is approximately $338,000. Mr.
Dickson also stated that the total cost (capital and O &M) of the
one - station alternative is estimated to be $491,000 lower than
for the two- station alternative. In addition, the single pump
station appears to be more reliable and easier to operate than
the two pump stations. Mr. Dickson recommended the one- station
alternative, be selected and approved for implementation, and the
project include the following features:
Removal of the existing structure at PS 19.
The use of submersible pumps.
Location of all electrical equipment in a small new structure
above the maximum flooding level.
Provision of an alternative power source for use when the
primary power source fails.

Council Minutes
NEW BUSINESS - CITY MANAGER (continued)
Provision of a mechanically raked screen to improve the
reliability of the station and reduce the operating labor
requirement.
Furthermore, Mr. Dickson continued, to implement the project, the
next step is to authorize the preliminary design phase, which
will result in the preparation of a Basis of Design report. Mr.
Dickson concluded by stating the Basis of the Design report will
include several drawings (site plan, floor plan of the pump
station, several elevations or sections) to show all major
features of the proposed design and a list of all major
equipment. During preparation of the Basis of Design report,
contact will be made with any other involved agencies (Southern
California Edison, Los Angeles County Flood Control District),
etc.) and all important features of the design (e.g., acoustics,
aesthetics) will be resolved. The purpose of the Basis of Design
report is to allow the City to provide their input, review and
approve all of the major elements of the design prior to starting
on the detailed design work.
City Attorney Dolley asked that Council limit specific discussion
of this matter to Closed Session.

1. Disturbances from local private parties
Council action
Councilman Clutter submitted a Draft Ordinance for Agenda
consideration and introduction at the next City Council Meeting,
December 20, 1988.
Councilman West asked Chief Meehan what the process is for
disruptive parties.
Chief Meehan stated a patrol unit would be dispatched within 4 -7
minutes, make contact with the party and apprise them of the
complaint and ask them to take care of the noise. This usually
takes care of the problem. About 4 to 6 times a year this is not
enough and when it isn't then officers are dispatched a second
time. Most often these parties have spilled out into the street.
If the party givers are unwilling to cooperate then other
appropriate action is taken. When a second call is dispatched and
an arrest must be made then a "complaining witness" must be
present. The proposed Ordinance will allow the City to charge a
fee on the second dispatch.

Councilman Clutter commented on an article regarding the Hyperion
Plant and commented on their "good neighbor" efforts.
