COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT ~ ~ 3/1/77
FOR MEETING OF:
ITEM TITLE: Resolution 8528:Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for
Concrete Lined Drainage Channel Through the J.L.J. Apartments
and Appropriating Funds from the Residential Construction Tax
Fund
SUBMITTED BY~ Director of Public Works/City Engineer 1
~~
ITEM EXPLANATION
This item yeas held over from the meeting of February 22 in order that
all five Councilmen might be present. Since an appropriation is required,
a four-fifths vote of the Council is necessary in order to award the
contract.
The ownership of the channel through the J.L.J. Apartments and the respon-
sibility for construction of the channel was discussed briefly at the
last Council meeting. In reference to these points there are some
important considerations. First, the property owner for the J.L.J.
Apartments deeded to the City, dependent upon receipt of Federal funds,
an easement for drainage purposes over the channel. The City Attorney's
office has opined that there is a legitimate question as to the owner-
ship of the land at this time. A second important consideration is
that the subject area tributary to this drainage channel is greater
than 750 acres and is therefore a "major channel" as established by
City Council Policy. City Council Policy 800-O1 discusses the responsi-
bility for the cost of design and construction of major channels and
states that that responsibility for the most economical design of major
channels and structures shall rest with the City. The exception to this
is in the case of new subdivisions for which the basic responsibility
for said costs shall be borne by the subdivider.

In this instance, the unimproved and unfenced channel passes through
a large apartment complex. The ultimate runoff in the channel is nearly
900 cubic feet per second for a 50 year storm. We believe that this
large unimproved channel which carries large volumes of water in a densely
populated area is a hazard for persons in the community and that the City
is justified in spending the additional funds required for its construc-
tion.
