A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SAN RAFAEL REQUESTING THE U.S. ARMY
CORPS OF ENGINEERS TO CONSIDER INCLUDING THE
DREDGING OF PRIVATE PROPERTY ALONG THE
SAN RAFAEL CANAL IN THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS'
MAINTENANCE DREDGING PROJECT
WHEREAS, the City of San Rafael has received requests
from property owners along the San Rafael Canal to include
dredging on their property in the Corps of Engineers' San Rafael
Canal Maintenance Dredging Project; and
WHEREAS, said requests have been discussed with the
Corps of Engineers' staff; and
WHEREAS, Section 4 of the River and Harbor Act, approved
in 1915, authorizes said work on private property; and
WHEREAS, if said work on private property along the
Canal were to be included in the San Rafael Canal Maintenance
Dredging contract by the Corps of Engineers, the property owners
would benefit from lower costs due to the higher volume of work
under the contract; and
WHEREAS, in the past, property owners who have nego-
tiated directly with the Corps' dredging contractor have com-
plained to the City of San Rafael about the higher costs they
have had to bear for dredging on their property; and
WHEREAS, at this time it is uncertain as to whether
the Corps of Engineers will agree to the inclusion of this
dredging work on private property in their contract:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council
of the City of San Rafael hereby requests the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers to consider the inclusion of the dredging of private
property along the San Rafael Canal in the Corps' Maintenance
Dredging Project.
