g) In response to questions, staff did explain that insurance for landslides was not <br /> available to private property owners, or to GHADs, and hence the need for <br /> reserve funds to accumulate by the GHAD assessments. <br /> Based on the interest expressed at this public meeting, and the City's interest in <br /> community participation, a public notice will be sent to all the residents within each of <br /> the GHADs notifying them that this staff report is available on the City's website (in <br /> addition to the normal postcard noticing information). <br /> The ENGEO Contract <br /> ENGEO is the geotechnical firm the GHAD Board selected initially for the monitoring of <br /> the GHADs. ENGEO advises GHADs throughout the bay Area, and staff has been very <br /> satisfied with their monitoring work. However, because of the interest from the <br /> residents about soliciting proposals from more geotechnical firms for the GHAD <br /> monitoring work, staff is recommending that the existing contract with ENGEO be <br /> extended on a task basis, rather than for an entire year. This will allow for ENGEO to <br /> conduct site visits and necessary reconnaissance reports after the winter rains, as well <br /> as allow staff sufficient time to research other geotechnical consultants that might also <br /> be available and qualified to monitor GHADs. In the next few months, staff will bring <br /> back a report making a recommendation to the Board for a geotechnical engineering <br /> firm to monitor the GHADs. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> th <br /> r cuc <br /> Brian Dolan David P.
