of the adjacent property owners. Public Works Office only received 60% confirmation from property owners adjacent to Agua Mansa on the South side, not along the school side which is being confirmed this evening. Councilmember/Director Hutton inquired of Surveyor Brian Baden in staking the grade along Agua Mansa on the South Side, it would allow the water to run away from the area. He asked if there was sufficient grade to eliminate the puddling problem. Mr. Baden said it was the ultimate goal to design the street to allow the water to flow on past the property. He said the flooding was on the north side of the street. The Streets and Highway Code, 1911 Act, allows work only on one side of the street. Councilmember Hutton said this matter should not go forward until a preliminary survey is done to determine if doing one side of the street will resolve the drainage issue. Councilmember Hansen asked if the 60% participation was as to footage and Councilmember/Director Hutton said it represented 60% of adjacent property owners to the roadway, based on lineal footage. Councilmember Hansen suggested CDBG block grant monies for this project. Councilmember Sanders inquired if continuance of the Public Hearing would prohibit the preliminary survey to start.

Councilmember Bennett asked where would the funding come for the engineering. Councilmember/Director Hutton informed the City would have to fund the project up front. Councilmember Bennett advised that SCAG had funding for this type of project available and urged staff to explore this avenue for the engineering design. She emphasized that the City had to show a need for engineering. Mr. Andres Soto, Principal Planner, informed that the North side of Agua Mansa Road, between Rancho and 5th Street, had been funded from CDBG funds for $30,000 for sidewalks, curbs, gutters and two street lights, a project submitted by former Councilmember Sandoval and approved FY1995-96 and bought 1,000 lineal feet.

Pending notification from the Coun ty, motion by Councilmember Beltran seconded by Councilmember Hutton to continue the Public Hearing until March 19, 1996. Unanimous vote.
