Mr. Spano opened the meeting and brought up the question of
enlarging the District to include property known as 2730 State
Street. This is necessitated because of change by S.D.G. & E. Co.
It was agreed that the District should be revised accordingly and
another hearing held.
The location of proposed underground electric, proposed storm
drain and existing underground utilities was dfscussed. It was
brought up that the separation between storm drain and underground
electric was not sufficient to accommodate the underground vaults.
The separation would have to be increased to eight feet.
The matter of trenching and restoration of surfacing was brought
up. At this time it was suggested that consideration be given
to a joint trench or joint contract for all proposed underground
(storm drain) electric and telephone. It was agreed that Jim
DeWeiss and Joe Spano would explore this possibility further.
Mr. DeWeiss mentioned that the service point for the street
lights would have to be relocated to Grand Avenue and Madison
Avenue. The cost of this electrical work must be borne by the
City. He also pointed out that once the underground was accom-
plished the Christmas light decorations could not be accommodated.
The question of the Civil Defense siren was brought up and the
City agreed to look into the possibility of relocating it.
Considerable discussion ensued concerning the coordination of
design, plans and specifications and bidding schedules.
