The following items were removed from the Consent Calendar for discussion:
2. RESOLUTION APPROVING CONTRACT WITH BDI ENVIRONMENTAL FOR WELL MONITORING AT 519
FOURTH STREET (RA) - File R-323 x R-286
Chairman Boro asked Assistant Executive Director Ours if they were attempting to
track down where the contamination is coming from and Mr. Ours stated this is
presently being done. Chairman Boro then stated because there is a prime suspect
and they refuse to participate, what happens when the appropriate measures are
taken? Mr. Ours referred this to Deputy Fire Marshal, Forest Craig.
Mr. Craig responded that the Fire Department has reasonable documentation to
believe there is contamination coming from an upgrading source. He noted the
current monitoring well, MW3 in the center of Fourth Street, does not give them
conclusive evidence to show that the suspected upgrading source is, in fact, that
individual firm. He stated the proposal is to install a further upgrading
monitoring well which will add more substantially the evidence they need to make a
referral to the Regional Water Quality Control Board for cleanup action. Chairman
Boro stated this should bring the issue to closure.
Member Breiner moved and Member Cohen seconded, to adopt the Resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 92-26 -AUTHORIZING THE ASSISTANT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE A

3. REPORT ON BASELINE RUNOFF CONTROL PROGRAM (PW) - File R-54 x (SRCC) 4-4-6 x 11-4 x
Member Shippey asked why the County was missing the deadline of September 1, 1992,
for this baseline report and what affect this will have on the whole process?
Assistant Executive Director (Public Works) Bernardi responded that included with
the staff report is a letter, dated September 8, 1992, to Dale Hopkins, California
Regional Water Quality Control Board, which will serve as the first annual report.
He stated in this letter they have explained they are working on setting up the
whole baseline program and that, while staff has not completed the program as
required, they have done a lot of work which will be put together in the final
program. He noted that on Page 2 of this letter, there are a number of statements
that support their contention and the Water Board staff has accepted this as the
City's first report.
Member Shippey then asked if the Agency will have the report by this time next year
and Mr. Bernardi responded it will be available in approximately six months.
Member Shippey moved and Member Thayer seconded, to adopt the Resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 92-27 -AUTHORIZING THE USE OF STORM DRAINAGE MASTER PLAN FUNDS TO
