CITY COUNCIL MEETING
DECEMBER 18, 1-985
PROPOSED CHESTNUT
STREET BRIDGE OVER
THE V40MBRIDGE
IRRIGATION CANAL City Clerk Rei=he presented the following letter that
had been received from San Joaquin County Supervisor
George L. Barber:
"During our October 29th "shirt -sleeves" meeting, we
discussed the proposed bridge on Chestnut Street over
the Woodbridge Irrigation Canal. During the discussion,
city staff proposed that if San Joaquin County were to
contribute $250,000, that the City of Lodi would provide
the design and construction of the proposed bridge.
I've considered the city's offer and believe it to be
quite reasonable. Accordingly, I would like to make
arrangements for the County to make a financial
contribution of $250,000 as its share of the expenses
associated with the bridge and for the City of Lodi
to act as lead agency for design and construction of
this project.
I believe that for the convenience and safety of both
the people of Lodi and the Woodbridge area that this
project should be undertaken at the very earliest
possible time. I also believe that an early cxwpletion
of the project could save both the city and the county
some considerable expenditures for traffic control
equipment. I
I, therefore, would appreciate your response and
confirmation of the above at your earliest convenience.
Following discussion, Council tacitly concurred that Mayor
Hinchwan should respond to Supervisor Barber's letter that
the City's position on the Chestnut Street crossing of the
WID Canal is that it is strictly and wholly a County
responsibility.
