Mr. Arness said that, in sumxYiary, it is his contention, and that of the firm of Clair A.. Hill and Associates , that the contractor performed work in the area in conformance with the plans and specifications and returned this area to as good or better condition than it was before work commenced. The maintenance of drainage facilities which existed before construction and subsequent to construction is the direct responsi- bility of the property owners . Don Wengler, an employee of Clair A . Hill & A.ssociates and Chief Inspector of the trunk line project, submitted photographs taken prior to construction of the trunk line in which the drainage ditch could not be discerned because of tall growth of tules and blackberry bushes. Photo- graphs taken today were also submitted and indicate that the heavy growth �f tules and blackberry bushes still exist. Mr . Arness said that the heavy growth in the drainage ditch blocks the water and does not allow it to flow freely in the ditch. ' In answer to Councilman Denny's que stion a s to whether the c on struction of the trunk line altered the grade thus affecting drainage, Public Works Director Arness said that in his opinion it did not. 96 Mr. Fagan of 5709 Fagan Drive agreed that some of the statements made tonight are true re the heavy gro�vth of tules and bTackberries but added that prior'to the 'installation of the tru.nk line the drainage � ditch was from 30' to 75' wide and that th'e contractor left approxi- mately 10' of fill which has sloughed off into the ditch until there is hardly any ditch remaining. Mr. Fagan said that the Clair A , Hill firm was going to clear out the ditch but their equipment got stuck and they left. It was agreed that this matter would be tabled pending an inspection of the site by Councilrnan Denny, Public Works Director A.rness , a representative of the County Department of Public Works, and Mr. Fagan, and a report back to Council.
