provided a slide presentation showing the process used to
reach a proposed plan for improvement of the Outflow Channel.
He explained that this process began with a feasibility study
in January of 1985 done by the Santa Ana River Flood Protec-
tion Agency. He also explained that the outflow channel
would be 35 feet in depth at the Lake, and 70 feet in depth
at Riverside Drive. He advised that bridges at Riverside
Drive, Heald Avenue, Graham Avenue, Sumner Street, Chaney
Street and Lakeshore Drive would be included as part of the
project.

water conservation vs. flood control; acquisition of property
along the channel; standing water and stagnation; and fencing
along channels.
Councilman vermillion questioned silt inflow and its effect
on the outflow channel.
Mr. Edwards explained that most of the silt is being stopped
by the Canyon Lake Dam before it gets to Lake Elsinore.
He advised that it would be many years before this would
impact the outflow channel.
A member of the audience asked if Caltrans had been included
in this planning process with regard to how the Highway 74
realignment project would impact this proposed plan.
Mayor Strigotte advised that recent comments from Caltrans
indicate that it will be many years before the Highway 74
realignment project would be initiated.
Mr. Edwards commented that this meeting was the beginning of
a 30 day review period for the draft plan. He advised that
copies of the plan would be available for review at the pUblic
library and the City Clerk's Office, and written comments
from the public during ~hat time. He requested that the City
Council adopt a resolution of support of the plan as the next
procedural step.
