No assessment on property owners was proposed. A $1.5 <br />million dollar project was completed by the GHAD that stabilized the slope on Hillside Drive. <br />The project installed a drainage system incorporating concrete v-ditches, storm lines and <br />structures to collect and discharge subsurface and surface runoff from the hillside to the City’s <br />storm drain system. The system is maintained and monitored by Public Works staff. <br />Analysis <br />Public Works staff has completed only minor maintenance work on GHAD facilities during this <br />past fiscal year. Recent site investigation by staff did not indicate any signs of slope <br />movement. It is anticipated that there will be no major work at the site during this upcoming <br />fiscal year. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 7/15/2014
