LINDEN AVENUE -WATER LINE Public Works-Di'rector Arness reported that when maintenance crews were c leaning out the ditch on Linden Avenue last week they exposed a 4 inch steel water line and broke it. Mr. Arness believes that the County Health Officer, 'Dr. -Keye, will'probably request that the •linebe replaced as it could result in contaminated water. The estimated cost of replacing the water line (about 2000 ft. ) on Linden Avenue is $16, 000 to $18, 000. Mr. A rhes s explained that this would include the installation of additional hydrants and would comply with the map recently submitted by Clair A. Hill and Associates. Mr. Arness requests permis'sion'of-'Council to install-�� a new 8 inch water line by force account and indicated that there are sufficient funds in the -water account to handle the work. City Attorney Murphy explained that this is a public works project %which normally must go to bid if it exceeds $2500, except that Government Code, Section 37906, provides that if there is a great public calamity as an extraordinary fire, flood, storm, epidemic, or other disaster, the legislative body may pass a resolution by a 4/5th vote of its members declaring that the public interest and necessity demand the immediate expenditure of public money to safeguard life, health .or property. The adoption of the resolution authorizes the immediate expenditure of the money by force account without going through bid procedures. However, Mr. Murphy questions whether this. wouldbe justified in view .of the limita- tion of this special section that provides for this .exception unless Dr. Keye does have forthcoming a letter to the effect that there is an immediate and serious health problem from the pollution of water at the point of the break. 278 Mr. Murphy suggested that Council may wish.to approve the recommenda- tion of the Public Works Director by resolution, subject to the receipt of such a letter from Dr. Keye, considered sufficient after review by the City Manager and the City Attorney or a Councilman and the City Attorney. MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Chatfield that Resolution No. 3582 be adopted, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Redding authorizing the Public Works Director to proceed with the replacement of the water line on Linden Avenue to the extent necessary to eliminate the present hazard, and that the Council finds the public convenience and necessity require the immediate construction of said line by force account, providing a letter is received from Dr. Keye certifying that failure to replace the worn out water line on Linden Avenue could result in_a real and_.immediate health hazard, said letter having been found sufficient after review by the Mayor and the City Attorney.
