CURB, GUTTER Staff recommended that the City Council rescind AND SIDEWALK ON their direction of February 20, 1980 to require BECKMAN ROAD the property owners to install curb, gutter and sidewalk on Beckman Road from Lockeford Street north. This action was taken by the City Council because of complaints by the property owner at 677 E. Lockeford Street that water from the street was running in and through his property and creating problems for him. Mr. Thorpe, the owner of the Bulk Station at 351 N. Beckman Road, by agreement, is responsible for putting the improvements in front of his property, and had agreed to do so if his neighbor to the south also installed his. Shortly after the City Council action, the property to the south sold without the work being accomplished. The City has been in contact with the new owner, John Faulstich, who indicates that he had received a deduct in the asking price of the home because of the lack of curb, gutter, and sidewalk, and that no money had been placed in escrow to ensure comple- tion of the work. Mr. Faulstich doesn't have the funds at this time to do the work, is not interested, and feels he has no problem with the drainage. Since the work was originally requested because of the property owner on the south, and since that property owner is no longer interested, it would appear reasonable to rescind the request for installation. Council discussion followed with questions being directed to Staff. On motion of Councilman Pinkerton, Murphy second, the City Council rescinded their direction of February 20, 1980 requiring the property owners to install curb, gutter and sidewalk on Beckman Road, from Lockeford Street north. SALAS PARK Council was reminded that it had awarded the SPRINKLER AND contract for Salas Park Sprinkler and Turfing TURFING to B & V Landscape of Sacramento in October of CONTRACT 1980. At that time, work was expected to commence shortly and be completed before the first of the year. As of this date, work has not commenced on the contract through no fault of the contractor. Due to the necessary regrading being slower than expected by Claude C. Wood Co., and unanti- cipated compaction problems being encountered by Granite Construction, the contractors res- ponsible for the onsite drainage, the work being contracted to B & V Landscaping is still unable 353 Continued February 4, 1981 to start. Their supplier, Nor Mac, Inc., has warehoused the material for them, but is requesting, at this time, payment in order to hold the price tendered in October. Staff feels this is a reasonable request, and in order to not have to negotiate a higher price for the work, or a rebid, would appreciate the Council's authorization of a payment of $29,031.52 to Nor Mac, Inc. On motion of Councilman Murphy, Hughes second, Council approved the request of Mr. Bert Van Ruiten to enter into a 10 -year lease agreement with the City for the White Slough Water Pollu- tion Control Facility property as heretofore outlined and authorized the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the lease agreement on behalf of the City.

BIDS Council was apprised that the City had been REQUESTED FOR placed on notice by McGee Communications that RADIO rates for radio maintenance are to be increased EQUIPMENT by 90%. Staff recommended that inasmuch as there MAINTENANCE are a number of qualified radio maintenance firms in the area that Council authorize the City Clerk to solicit requests for proposals for maintenance of radio equipment. On motion of Councilman Pinkerton, Murphy second, Council authorized a payment of $29,031.52 to Nor Mac, Inc., for materials being held for the Salas Park Sprinkler and Turfing Contract.
