The City ;tanager ronnended th'r.t award be made to the bidder. He also mentioned that a letter had been received from the .ssociated Drilling Contractors, Sacramento, objecting to the specifications covering the drilling because in their estimation they were not detailed enough to produce a satis- factory water well and they differed from specifications of other municipalities.

STURM DRAIX _ urgency The City Manager then brought up the CT FOR of pr.ovilin for storm drainage in the eastern RAST AREA section of the City which will become more acute as Lodi Industrial Park is developed. OPEN UTTCII The problem has been to find some means of providing adequate drainage without going counter to the proposed ..aster Drainage Flax. submitted by ':Wilsey and Hall: since a decision thereon has not been reached by the Council. The Director of Public 'forks was proposing that an open ditch be constructed and used for ponding the storm water. The ditch would go along the east side of Kelly Street from Pine to the south side of the Central Cali- fornia Traction Line; thence :rest and parallel with the Traction Lima to the east side of the proposed freeway frontage road; thenc_ south along the east side of the frontal.;:: road to u point opposite Eden Street; thencs across the proposed freeway to the .nest site thereof; thence south along the west side of the freeway right of way to Walnut Orchard Subdivision. The estimated cost of such drainage ditch would be i41,500, of which approximately 7;24,000 would be for rights o" way and 0,000 for severance damages. Pipe lines along Garfield and Eden Streets would. carry the water to the ditch. The main part of the pipeline to beoanstructed would V, along :den Street to the ditch and would cost approximately *327,500. The Director of Pub- lic Works stated that if the 'Wilsey and H;:: plan were nut adopted, the ditch could be con- verted to fit into another plan: without too much expense. He also suggested the construc- tion of a ditch along Pills Avenue extended which would parallel the Woodbridge Irrigstior: Dist. Canal and would relieve flooding in this area. The cost would approximate 321,000. Councilman Culbertson moved that the Eng.ineer- ine Department proceed with plans to relieve drainage in the east section of the City in accordance with those submitted and that the Council continue study of the Piaster Stora Drainage Plan of A ilsey and Ha_; at an early date. The motion was seconded by Councilman Robinson and passed unanimously. The City Manager said the plan of the Director of Public '.forks would be submitted to 'Wilsey and minuzes o1. uecemoer 1/, 1710 CUn W nueu ��1r CROSSING Councilman Culbertson sug ested that ;,he Director SICPIAI:S of Public Works study possible need fur signals at the Southern Pacific Company trucks or.
