Moved by Councilman Mc Lees, seconded by Councilman
Cooney and unanimously carried to authorize execution
and recording of the Notice of Completion on said
project.
' The City Engineer submitted a communication regarding
the improvement of Sierra Madre Avenue from the
Rodeffer property line easterly. As a condition to
the Golf Course Variance and Precise Plan, it was
required that Sierra Madre and Sunset Avenues be
improved, whichvas recommended in order that another
entrance could be provided to the Crystal View Homes
Subdivision in order to provide a safer traffic
approach to the State Highway, as well as a better
and quicker fire and police approach to the area.
There is a portion of Sierra Madre Avenue, between
the east boundary of the Rodeffer property line and
San Gabriel Avenue, which remains unimproved and would
require a drainage culvert extension, in addition to
the regular road construction. The dimensions of
this unimproved road segment would be 80' x 140'
within the right-of-way lines, with a width of 64'
between curbs, at a preliminary estimate cost of
$i8,950.
Also, in order to complete the little strip between
San Gabriel Avenue and San Gabriel Canyon Road would
entail the acquisition of a 30 -foot strip of right-of-
way; only 32 feet of the north -half of this segment
would require construction expense at an estimated
cost of $5,300.
The combined cost of both portions would be approxi-
mately $24,250, which is eligible for expenditure of
the'new Gas Tax Funds (186.1), of which a reserve is
available for this project.
Considering the traffic and safety aspects for ingress
and egress to the Crystal View Homes, the City Engineer
recommended that Council authorize the design and
construction of Sierra Madre Avenue between the
Rodeffer east property line and San Gabriel Avenue;
it would be necessary to encumber $19,000 from the
186.1 Gas Tax Funds, which is available and unappro-
priated in the City's Gas Tax Account.
Further, if Council should wish to complete the
roject to San Gabriel Canyon Road, an additional
5,300, or a total of $24,300, should be encumbered
from the 186.1 funds, which is also available and
unappropriated in the Gas Tax Account.
After discussion, it was
' Moved by Councilman Mc Lees, seconded by Councilman
Rubio and unanimously carried that the recommendation
of the City Engineer be approved for both projects,
and to encumber funds for the full amount of 24,300;
also; that the City Engineer be authorized to prepare
plans and specifications, and negotiate Right -of -Way
Easements.
The City Administrator requesting reimbursement of
approximately $15 accountable expenses for the League
of California Cities meeting in El Segundo.
