POLICY - Assessment Districts '
Dire.ctor of Public Works Arness spoke of the advantage of the establishment of
a firm policy regarding the engineering and field inspection charges that incurred
� during the course of an assessment district.
,�i
�
Vice Mayor Simons stated he personally believed that engineering. and fieldrin-
spection charges and all legal ,fees of the City A.ttorney shoizld be at City's
expense and that it would be a good policy to pass a resolution to firmly establish
this policy.
, City Manager Cowden and all councilmen concurred it would be in the public interest
to adopt a policy that City absorb these expenses.
The City Attorney was directed to draw up the necessary resolution that engineering
and field inspection charges and all legal fees handled through the City Attorney's
office be absorbed by the City.
AGREEMENT - Locust St. Sridge Crossing
A proposed Agreement d,rafted by the Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation District
setting forth the terms and conditions under which tke City may construct a bridge
crossing of the Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation District Canal at Locust Street
was submitted to all councilmen.
City Attorney Redmon discussed at length Section 7 of said agreement, which
states: "If in the future District finds it necessary to enlarge, eoncrete, or re-
� align or deepen its canal, nece�itating a relocation or temporary removal of said
bridge, City shall at its expense promptly do so in order that District might com-
plete such work as is necess`ary. "
� He stated that he and the Director of Public Works had discussed this; the location
of the bridge is at the widest portion of the canal and it would appear there was
not any real possibility this would o,ccur; the A. C. I. D. had the right to place �
r.easonable terms and conditions on the project and should two public agencies not
get .together, then the courts would decide. �
