General Commentes or Questions

• Question from Deirdre Heimer: I am not certain where this item fits into today’s agenda – I would like to thank the city/Cal Water for sending out folks to shore up the ground at the intersection of Dauntless and Exultant Drives on Easter Sunday after runoff from the very heavy rainfall around 2:00 AM eroded the ground under the above ground water pipes.  I would like to know what the plans are to avoid a reoccurrence of the erosion.  Currently, during heavy rain there is no way for the water to exit the “channel” created by the land movement and the curbs are not high enough to keep the water from eroding the property. The way the water was pooling and rising above the curb line was evident during the heavy rains on March 6th but not to the extent of the early Easter morning rain.Ramzi said the City is working on a solution.
• The City does not recommend that residents send letters requesting funding to CalOES, FEMA, or the LA County DES because they do not fund community projects—they only fund disasters. Andrew Ely has the information for the agencies to send letters to, as well as bullet points to write about/include. Gordon Leon will disseminate that information to Seaview and other communities.

• Weekly Status Meeting: Occurs every Wednesday at 3:00 pm PST. Next meeting is 4/10/2024.
• Regular Meeting Format: This meeting will be held virtually via Teams. For a Teams link, please email Jayme Fairfield at jfairfield@houtconstruction.com.

CITY

• Work continues to finalize the EIR. Addressing individual comments.
• Emergency hydraugers design continues. E1 launch area is the pull out along PVDS. E1 will be directionally drilled. E1 is the area with the most artesian pressure and will provide the most benefits. E2 launch site is at the end of Narcissa being accessed from Peppertree; there is a dirt access road (discharge line for well #19 goes across this road). E2 will be horizontally drilled. Inclinometers will be installed in the test bore holes. See the graphic/map below the table.
• Final design continues.

• No changes. Waiting for next steps with FEMA.

• Next survey is mid-April 2024 and the City is adding several more monitoring points.

• Interim repairs at the ski jump were completed.
• The City is continuing design efforts for a more substantial repair at the ski jump. The City is working through details and is looking to minimize construction closure(s). PBCA is concerned with drivers using the neighborhood as a detour. The City will work with PBCA on the details and signage. The City will also coordinate with first responders. Construction may wait until school is out for summer break.
• New signage installation will start on 4/8/2024 (was delayed due to rain).

• Crack filling will continue as needed.
