CityCouncil | 2005-01-31 | 15 | The Public Works Director stated the entire length of the seawall has been inspected; the interim repair would take care of significant deterioration; the intent is to beat the high tides forecasted for the end of the month. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether erosion occurred in other areas. The Public Works Director responded the $500,000 should cover all areas that need repair. Mayor Johnson inquired whether periodic inspections are conducted. The Public Works Director responded in the negative; stated future periodic inspections are being considered. Councilmember Matarrese stated that the Governor added Alameda County to the disaster list; inquired whether funding would be available for the repairs. The Public Works Director responded that staff was working with the County and Office of Emergency Services (OES) to secure Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the deterioration was standard or the result of circumstances. The Public Works Director responded that the current situation is extremely accelerated; a resident raised the issue in March; staff examined the area in April and determined that immediate attention was not needed. Councilmember deHaan stated hopefully budget issues would not prevent performing a temporary fix if the City witnessed some deterioration. Mayor Johnson stated that issues should be called to the Council's attention if something similar arises. Councilmember deHaan thanked the Public Works Director for planting trees in front of Alameda College on Appezzato Parkway. Councilmember Matarrese moved adoption of the resolution.
