Philip Storm, T�Ianag,er,, G.ity of Redding • Redding, Calif. Dear l��r. Storrn: � In developing Shasta Jr. College and Shasta Union High School District built on� and one half miles of hard surface roads . These roads have been completed except one section extending above the stadium from Y to Y. It is expected that the finished seal coat will be put on this section sometime during the summer. Inasmuch as these streets are used for general city p�zrposes as well as for schocl use, particularly as a traffic lane from the Mary Street area to Eureka Way, it is appropriate the city should assist the school district in maintaining these str�ets . - ����7 �''"' It is proposed that v�rhen repair is needed that the school dis- . trict -£urnish all of the necessary supplies and materials and that the City provide the equipment. This will be a minor consider�,tion for the City inasmuch as they already have the equipment. On the other hand, it would. be a substa�tial saving to the School vistrict for if the District had to rent the equipment from a private party it would be much more costly. You are respectfully requested to present this matter to the Czty Council, or to take whatever action seems to you to be appro- priate. Yours very truly �s/ Jackson Price District Superintendent City i�Ianager Storm felt this request would be more equitably Yiandled by the county.
