City Clerk Reimche 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 Irrigac,lon 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 belie're that an early copletion
of the project could save both the city and the county
some considerable expenditures for traffic control
equipment.
I, therefore, would appreciate your response and
confirmation of the above at your earliest convenience."
Following discussion, Council tacitly concurred that Mayor
Hinchman 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.

Dear Supervisor Barber:
THOMAS A. PETERSON
City Manager
ALICE M. REIMCHE
City Clerk
RONALD M. STEIN
City Attorney
In response to your letter of December 4, 1985, the City's position cn
the Chestnut Street crossing of the WID Canal, is that it is strictly
and wholly a County responsibility.
It is true that our staff felt that the $500,000 estimate for the
crossing appeared to be very high and in jest suggested a method
whereby the City might even make a profit. It is felt that if there
are dollars to be saved, that they should be saved by the County.
Our Public Works Director feels that when you do the design planning
for this crossing, that the economics of a box Culvert type crossing
should be analyzed. There is no engineering reason why a box culvert
won't .cork at this location, however, special approval of the box
culvert concept by the WID Board may be necessary.
The City Council appreciated the opportunity to meet with YOU in
October and feels that there is merit in setting up this type of
meeting on an annual basis.
