AGENDA ITEM too. �' PAGE�L OF—L5—_ PAGE TWO ADJOURNED REGULAR REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING NOVEMBER 10, 1993 " Public Services Director Tecca explained that the first item has to do with the Lake inlet channel and that the weir to be built on the same alignment as the inlet channel and around the stilling basin. When the level of the water reaches to 12631, it would spill over the weir and enter the back basin. EVMWD has been working with Black and Veach to design the'weir and hes presented a new plan to move the weir back about 300 feet further into the floodplain -. What this will accomplish is that it will be less expensive for EVMWD to build and it would be more expensive for the City, because it will use two major lots that the City owns. Mr. Ottway of EVMWD explained that if EVMWD were to pursue this the City would have to give them the property. 'Mr. Tecca asked if the Council felt that the weir should be moved back the 300 feet and the property given to EVMWD; or to pursue the original plan and have EVMWD build the more expensive weir. He explained that now that the City owns the Lake we would have to pay half to build the weir and it might be less costly in the end to set the weir back 300 feet. Boardmember Washburn stated that he would like to see more information and discussion with Hank Ottway; and explained that it may need redesign for the spill basin if the weir is moved. He felt that there was not enough information to,go on at this time. Chairman Winkler explained that he felt that there was not enough information and he doesn't know the impact this will have on Eastlake. He would like to see a meeting between the two Boards regarding this issue. City Manager Molendyk explained that the City has just been informed of this issue and that is why it is being brought before the Board at this time. He explained that the EVMWD wanted a decision as soon as possible before doing the design work. Public Services Director Tecca explained the second issue is the San Jacinto River Channel and explained that'-it was discussed by the Board at EVMWD and it was suggested that it be brought to 'the City immediately. Chairman Winkler stated that there can be a discussion with the committee of the City and EVMWD to discuss this issue. Mr. Tecca then explained the construction of the San Jacinto River Channel and explained the concerns of property owner, Bob Williams., He stated that Mr. Williams' concern is that the water will back up from the channel, onto his property and create environmental hazards. Mr. Tecca present a plan showing the transition of the existing channel to the new channel, to hold and expedite the flow of the Iwater. He explained that the Department of Fish and Game Permit requires that there be some ponding area in the bottom of the channel to insure some ponding in the late spring and early'summer months. This is to maintain a continuous flow for the survival of plant life. The majority of ponding occurs on the City right-of-way. AGENDA ITEM 140. / FAGC__,2_ OF PAGE THREE ADJOURNED REGULAR REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETING NOVEMBER 10, 1993 Boardmember Cherveny asked if the ponding has any affect on the bridge. Public Services Director Tecca explained that the water had cut away the bottom of the channel and caused erosion which-came back to the bridge. Mrs. Cherveny asked if the eroded area near the bridge will be backfilled. Mr. Tecca explained that if the Board chooses to fill, then it will cost an additional $8,000; if the backfill is not done, it will fill naturally from erosion settlement. Boardmember Alongi asked if Mr. Williams had been appraised of the channel situation. Public Services Director Tecca stated that he had been shown the plans and it had been explained to him how the whole project works. Mr. Tecca explained that the City will ultimately need to acquire a small piece of his property as part of the channel project to mitigate any potential problems. Boardmember Alongi asked what can be done to assure Mr. Williams that his fears are unfounded. Public Services Director Tecca explained that the only thing that can be done is to present the facts of the project and the requirements of Fish and Game. Mr. Alongi stated that Mr. Williams is concerned with how the City will affect his property. He asked if there was an alternate that could be offered to Mr. Williams. Mr. Tecca explained that all that can be done is to fill the low areas near his property to prevent ponding.
