City Attorney Meyers: I just had one point, because Council Member Galvan, I think, made a point. He is correct that the mitigation measures aze going to be between the City and LAVWMA, not the City and EBDA. And, it is simply a question that at some point in time letting LAVWMA know what the nature of our mitigation measures aze going to be in the encroachment permit and the comments may be on their EIR. It's for LAVWMA to deal with the City on that, it's not so much for EBDA. Council Member Galvan is absolutely right -this agreement is between EBDA and LAVWMA and we need a vote yes or no on it. Our conditions aze going to be with LAVWMA, directly, ourselves -not through EBDA. Bob Taylor: The other point that needs to be made is that the project - it is very difficult to come up with mitigations for construction until you know what the project is. And, they haven't designed the actual project at this time. There are several options that they have of how they will go about providing that capacity. The existing line that they have there, it may stay in place, they may remove it, there are several different options that they have. They could put a liner in that one - so all these options, they aze still exploring. They don't want to go to the expense of designing a project until they know that they can actually have a project, I guess, is the best way of saying it. It would not be unusual, in my mind, if I was issuing the encroachment permit, the first thing I would look at -Council Member Glaze's point about crossing Washington and Lewelling -the first thing I would look at is - is it possible to bore and jack that pipe through that intersection -don't try and open it up. It can be done as long as the grades and everything work out. Those are the kinds of things that need to be looked at as part of October 20, 1997 -Verbatim Transcript, Item 6.A 21
