CC RESOLUTION 12086658 RESOLUTION NO. 1208 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A CERTAIN CONNECTION TO THE EL SEGUNDO TRANSMISSION OR FEEDER LINE NEAR THE METROPOLITAN WATER DIS- TRICT VAULT IN THE VICINITY OF REDONDO AVENUE AND MANHATTAN BEACH BOULEVARD. WHEREAS, there has been presented to the City Council of the City of E1 Segundo, California, a communication in words and figures as follows, to wit: "LOS ANGELES COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT Los Angeles 17, California "H. E. Hedger 751 South Figueroa Street Chief Engineer Room 403 "January 2, 1952 "File No. 573 -P Subject West Basin Barrier Test "City Council City of E1 Segundo E1 Segundo, California "Attention Mr. Donald R. Short Director of Public Works "Gentlemen: "As a result of the efforts of the West Basin Water Association, the State Legislature allotted funds to the State Water Resources Board for the purpose of performing experimental work to determine the feasibility of stemming sea water intrusion along the California coast into the ad- jacent ground water basins. As recommended by the State Division of Water Resources, the State Water Resources Board has contracted with the Los Angeles County Flood Con- trol District for the performance of a fresh water barrier test to be performed in the cities of Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach, as indicated on the attached maps showing the general plan. In accordance with the provisions of the Flood Control Act, it is necessary that this District ob- tain the approval of your Honorable Council for a connection to your E1 Segundo feeder near the Metropolitan Water Dis- trict vault in the vicinity of Redondo Avenue and Manhattan Beach Boulevard, as indicated on the attached drawing show- ing the connection details. "Therefore, it is respectfully requested that your Honorable Council approve this work as soon as possible, the - 1 - 6659 necessity and urgency of which is set forth in the follow- ing: "In anticipation of the action by the State Water Re- sources Board, and realizing the urgency of performing this work as soon as possible, this District applied for a Nation- al Production Authority (NPA) priority in October 1951 to proceed with the project in the first quarter of 1952. "This Authority requires that the District have its materials on order before the expiration of the first quar- ter of 1952. The preparation of requisitions for the neces- sary materials and supplies is necessarily contingent on the completion of the major portions of the final design. Under- taking this final design, in turn, is contingent on obtain- ing the necessary personnel, funds, and, was dependent on the completion of the contractual agreement with the State Water Resources Board. In this connection, it is of interest to note that the contract with the State Water Resources Board was signed by the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County Flood Control District on December 11, 1951, and that the positions for the necessary personnel were approved by this Board of Supervisors on December 1$, 1951. It has also been necessary to obtain the approval of the State Engineer for the preliminary plans before actual design of final plans could be commenced. Notification of this approval was re- ceived on December 27, 1951. The preliminary plans for ob- taining this approval were prepared by the District through the expediency of curtailing its own work. Representatives of this District met with the West Basin Water Association and representatives of your City on December 2$ in order to acquaint them with the general features of the preliminary plans. "As the success of a re- application for a new NPA priority is questionable, it is considered essential that this District proceed as rapidly as possible to complete the necessary work within the allotted time. The necessary de- sign work preliminary to the purchase of the materials was estimated to require a minimum of three weeks. The proce- dure for the purchase of materials, as restricted by law and county ordinances, requires a minimum of eight weeks. "Because features of the detail design cannot be deter- mined until we have approval by action of your Honorable Council, it is respectfully requested that such approval be expedited. "Yours very truly, /s/ H. E. Hedger H. E. Hedger, Chief Engineer "Enclosure "; and WHEREAS, there has also been presented to said Council the drawing attached to said communication showing the connection details; and - 2 - 6660 WHEREAS, the Director of Public Works of the City of E1 Segundo, after a review of the said communication and of said drawing and after discussion had with the City Council of said City, feels that the drawing submitted with said communication should be corrected in various details, which said corrections are indicated upon that certain drawing prepared by the office of the said Director of Public Works and which said drawing bears number "W- 520103" and is entitled, "DETAILS FOR CONNECTION TO CITY OF EL SEGUNDO WATER DEPARTMENT LINE "; and WHEREAS, this Council concurs in the recommendations of the said Director of Public Works; now, therefore, in view of the foregoing premises, - - - THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.
