AND HAM LANE Mr. Singer stated that the construction is at a point where it is desirable to have storm drainage - 1 - 353 Yi utes:of November 21, 19'02, continued facilities and asked the Council to give consider- ation to installation of drainage lines. The City Manager read a recommendation of the Director of Public Works that this drainage problem be solved by the construction of a 30" line in Vine Street between Fairmont Avenue and Ham Lane and connection thereof to an 18" drain in Fairmont Avenue. Except for a catch basin that would be required near the southwest corner of -the medical building, the instal- lation would be a part of the ultimate Vine Street drain. The estimated cost for the installation is $3,470• An amount of $5,000 for a water line in Delores Street is in the current capital outlay budget; however, the -Engineering department has determined that the water line is not required at this time and since Delores Street will need to be reworked in another three to five years, it would be logical to defer the installation of the line. Therefore, the appropriation for this line could be used to finance the construction of the storm drain line in Vine Street. Councilman Brown moved that the storm drain line in Vine Street be installed as recommended by the Director of Public Works and that $3,470 be transferred from the Delores Street water line project to the storm drain project. The motion was -seconded by Councilman Ullmann and carried unanimoualy. EVANS REQUEST• A communication from Chester and Fern Evans, 130 FOR OUTSIDE North California Street, stated that they were the SERVICE owners of a two- acre parcel of land at the south- east corner of East Pine Street -and Cluff Avenue which is outside the City limits. There is a house on this property which was connected to the City water system years ago. They intend to build a new home on -the property and wish to connect this new home to the City's water and sewer lines and are willing to be annexed to the City in order to receive this service. They would also like to receive water to irrigate a vineyard on the balance of the property. Planning Director Rodgers reported that he had discussed the matter with Mr. Evans and had informed him that the property was located in an area designated for industrial zoning. Council- ouncilman manDow moved that the letter of Mr. Evans be referred to the Planning Commission for study and that action on his request for utilities be deferrwd until a report is received. The motion was seconded by Councilman Culbertson and carried. ABC LICENSE A notice was received of the application for trans- fer of alcoholic beverage license, On -Sale Beer and.

REQUEST FOR had been received at the previous Council meeting. OUTSIDE IIT. The requested service would be for a building to SERVICE be replaced on Central California Traction Company land adjacent to the proposed extension of Lodi Avenue between Cherokee Lane and the Freeway. This prop- erty is not within the City limits but has been receiving water service for some time. Mr. Glaves - i - 355 Minutes of November 21, 1962, continued explained that when the right of way was acquired for the extension of Lodi Avenue the strip from the Traction Company was 55 feet wide and the bal- ance of the right of way 60 feet wide as it was not anticipated that sidewalk area would be required on the Traction Company property. He suggested that the building be moved so as to provide a 5 -foot sidewalk; the present site would only allow a 2 -foot sidewalk for a portion of the building. The City Engineer would like to have the sewer line extended an additional 100 feet to the east if the request is approved. It was felt that the Traction Company should be approached concerning annexation of the property to the City. The Precooling Service is not interested in the street improvement since they are leasing the property and use the traction line for their business. The City Manager stated that the street paving should be taken care of by the City since it is a public project, but that the City should not pay for the curb, gutter and sidewalk. Councilman Culbertson moved that since the Traction Company had cooperated so well in granting right of way for Lodi Avenue extension, that the Precooling Service, Inc., building be given water and sewer service, provided that the building be located so as to permit installation of a 5 -foot sidewalk and, further, that before services are connected, Precooling Service will give the City a letter promising to install curb, gutter and sidewalk when needed. The motion was seconded by Councilman Brown and carried unanimously.

This project was in the 1961-62 Budget but had not been completed until this fiscal year and the money therefor had not been carried over into the present budget. Councilman Dow moved that $2,709.66 be allocated from the Contingent Fund for the surfacing of Sacramento Street. The motion was seconded by Councilman Ullmann and carried. PUBLIC WORKS Mr. Glaves stated that a second resolution would be ACCELERATION needed in applying for Federal funds under the ACT FUNDS Public Works Acceleration Act; this resolution APPLICATION would provide for the. increase in the City's capital improvement budget in the event the project is RES. NO. 2581 approved by the Federal Government.
