Association is still requesting the abutment be removed. Mr. Cunningham stated that he realized <br />-- the new bridge has not been approved but when built, it will go up next to it and will be totally <br /> supported outside of the channel. Mr. Cunningham also stated with the new home <br /> developments, golf courses and shopping centers that have been approved, it will increase the <br /> amount of water that will flow through the channel. Mr. Cunningham urged the Council to <br /> work with Zone 7 and the County to control how the water will be controlled when it runs off. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver stated that the City has been participating with Zone 7 and the homeowners <br /> to remove that obstacle. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lum stated that this was a cooperative project with Zone 7. He stated that he <br /> learned recently that Zone 7 is having difficulty proceeding with design work, which was part <br /> of its contribution. He stated that the City staff is now trying to pursue that matter to find what <br /> is necessary as to the structural impacts for removal of that abutment. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr asked when an update on that project would be available. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lure stated that an update would be available in the next few months. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver asked how long it would be before the homeowners would see relief from <br /> that. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lum stated that the structural analysis/investigation still needs to be done, which <br /> won't be completed for several months. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr asked that if the structural analysis comes back with a way that the Council <br /> could proceed with removing the portion that is causing the obstruction to the flow, would there <br /> be a possibility that could be done before the next rainy season. Ms. Mohr also asked if there <br /> was some part that San Francisco plays in this project. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lum thought it might be done by the fall even though it would be a tight time frame. <br /> He also stated that San Francisco was not immediately involved as it relates to the abutment; <br /> there are other kinds of flood control improvements that San Francisco would undertake as part <br /> of its project that would have an impact in terms of helping the flood control problem overall. <br /> <br /> Women's Suffrage <br /> <br /> The Mayor stated that Council had proclaimed the month of August as Woman's Suffrage <br /> Diamond Jubilee Month. He then made a presentation to Mary Jane Casper who is part of the <br /> 1995 Woman Suffrage Coalition. <br /> <br /> Ms. Casper invited the audience to a celebration on August 261h at the Las Positas <br /> campus auditorium from 2-5 p.m. for a Womans Suffrage program. <br /> <br /> 07/18/95 -4- <br /> <br /> <br />
