Agenda Item K-1 - Presentation/Hearing regarding Camtmity Development Block Grant was introduced by Assistant Planner Gaye Papias. The following proposed uses of Camunity Developwit Block Grant Funds and Statement of Goals and Objectives were presented by Ms. Papias. PROPOSED USE OF CXI144NI7Y DEVEIUV)M BLOCK GRANT' RMS PRDJBC,r ND. 1: WELL #6 REPLACEMENT: $120,000 Well No. 6, one of Lodi's 18 wells, failed unexpectedly this year, resulting in the intrusion of sand into domestic water lines in the low and moderate income target area. Subsequently, the well was abandoned thereby handicapping the ability of the well system to meet the water needs of low and moderate homes. Staff has determined that a new well must be installed to remedy the problem. The new well will be located in the low -mod target area and is fully consistent with IIUD regulations for eligible activities. PF03113CI' ND. 2: CEIIRAL AVENUE STEM DRAIN: $70,000 This project completes the extension of the new storm drain installed in Walnut and Oa1; Streets in 1978. The work includes the replacement of undersized catch basin laterals at Pine and Elm to relieve street flooding in the Central Avenue area north of Walnut Street. Catch basins and laterals will be installed or replaced as necessitated by the design. New curb returns, including wheelchair raps will be. installed at corners where catch basins are installed. PRODECI' ND. 3: POPLAR STIM7 STOM LRAIN: $129,000 This project includes the installation of a 30" storm drain in Poplar Street to relieve flooding on Central Avenue. According to engineering calculations, Central Avenue mains should also be replaced, but this will be deferred until the effects of the project can be evaluated. Catch basins and laterals will be installed or replaced as necessitated by the design. New climb returns, including wheelchair ramps will be installed at corner wnere catch basins are installed. �j PMJBCT ND. 4: FAST -SIDE TELE UM ANALYSIS - $44,000 The City has known for sane time that severe and potentially dangerous corrosion and disintegration of sewer lines exist In the low -mW target area. 'The age of the lines as well as the design standards 'at the time of installation are contributing factors to the problems. In order to facilitate a systematic approach to solving the problem a study would be necessary to ascertain the scope and magnitude of the problem. The $44,000 proposed would be spent to clean the lines and to perform a televideo analysis and to repair isolated maintenance problems. With Council approval, once the televideo analysis is completed, an additional $30,000 of City funds will i* required to hire a consultant to analyze the capacity and condition of the existing lines and to make design recommendations. NC7IE: The dollar amounts shown are rough estimates. If the construction bids came in well over budget, one of the proposed projects will be held over until the 1985 program year.
