Staff reviewed this item continued from the April 3, 1972 meeting and illustrated the layout of existing water lines in the area and indicated the water pressure available at various locations. The applicant requested that the Fire Department requirement that a new 8" water line be installed be waived. Council discussion noted that available GPM calculations presented by Staff did not agree with those provided by Dr. Voorhees. MOTION, SECONDED APUD CARRIED: Councilman Grabowski moved, seconded by Davey and carried unanimously that this request for relief from fire flow requirements be continued to May 2, 1972 to allow Staff to authenticate figures presented by the applicant. UNSCHEDULED ITEM N0. 2: REPORT PORTON DITCH WORK - ASCENSION DRIVE. Town Engineer Crabtree reported that reconstruction of the Storm Drainage ditch between Ascension and Anscapa was completed. He noted that the rejected low bid was $14,217 and that the Town had accomplished the improvement for $11,587. Staff noted that the Purissima Water District had agreed to contribute $1,500 to the cost, since some of the damage had been caused by a broken water line. MOTION, SECONDED AND CARRIED: Councilman Davey moved, seconded by Helgesaon and carried by majority vote to accept the Fremont Hills Channelization improvements between Ascension and Anacapa and to accept the $1,500.00 from Purissima Hills Water District in payment of their share. Councilman Miller opposed the motion as she felt the Water District was not assuming their fair share of the improvement cost.
