CityCouncil | 2012-04-17 | 3 | Councilmember deHaan inquired how much soil would be taken from the lagoon, to which the City Engineer responded the amount depends upon project costs. Councilmember Johnson inquired how often the lagoon would need to be dredged to keep the lagoon in a good condition. The City Engineer responded some areas naturally scour because of the way the water circulates; stated contaminates accumulate in the bends. Councilmember Johnson inquired whether a long-term maintenance plan would be considered, to which the City Engineer responded the proposed analysis would determine what a long-term maintenance plan would cost. Councilmember Johnson stated the original plan in the early 1950's was to have homeowners pay for a large part of the lagoon system. The City Engineer stated the City has an agreement with homeowners; portions of the lagoon are managed by the City; other portions are managed by homeowners; homeowners have been sharing 50/50 in the cost. Expressed concern with impacts on the existing clean up process at the Base and questioned how the cleanup would work: Carol Gottstein, Restoration Advisory Board (RAB). In response to Mayor Gilmore's inquiry, the City Engineer stated the proposed contract includes the additional studies the Navy needs to determine whether or not the material is acceptable. Mayor Gilmore inquired whether the City would work with the Navy and the RAB. The City Engineer responded staff would be happy to make a presentation to the RAB; stated the City would work with the Navy; staff would come back to Council to request going out to bid. Councilmember deHaan stated a location for storing the material before transport has not been determined. Councilmember Johnson moved approval of the staff recommendation. Vice Mayor Bonta seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 4.
