He said he was opposed to the curb and gutter proposition because of the major problem is flooding on Agua Mansa Road. He said the proposed curb and gutter would be done along the front of his roperties and nothing would p be done to the other side, which belongs to the Colton Unified School District. After discussion with the School District, his representative found that the City of Colton and the homeowners are responsible for any construction project. He suggested all property owners in the effected area be required to participate, to have the project done thoroughly and properly, and, alleviate the existing problems. The whole road would need to be re -engineered. He said putting curb and gutter at this time would make matters � worse as it would block the water and not allow it to run through the property. He proposed to wait until the job could be done right and get both sides of the street done and get a storm drain. He presented pictures of the flooded area, for 1996 and 1976. There was discussion on improving the school side. Mr. Rueff suggested CDBG grant funds be used. Councilmember Beltran inquired about directing the school to do their side. Councilmember/Director Hutton said that under the Government Code, the 1911 act is not allowed unless there is 60% participation FEB 21 1996
