Ten routes would require variances. Staff would like to systematically, over the next few years, attempt to obtain the required variances in order for these routes to be overlayed when the street condition warrants an overlay. Attached are two resolutions directing the City Engineer to submit variance requests for: Arthur Street -39th Avenue to 44th Avenue 40th Avenue -Reservoir Boulevard to Hayes Street and Arthur Street to Stinson Boulevard Staff has determined that these two routes would be the first to need overlays. The actual timing of the overlay will be coordinated with the overall street maintenance plan and approval of the City Council. Final approval of any variances granted will be dependent on the City passing a resolution holding the State of Minnesota harmless for granting the variance. /11 _ "A 1-� S >)RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading�'ff,;,i,Iution,'1> tliere being ample copies available to. lhe P'!h'tf t'l �); RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 93-directing the City Engineer to proceed with sut;,tp.qg,�ce req6est to the Commissioner of Transportation to permit the overlay of Arthur Street from 39th Avenue to 44th Avenu .

A.PUBLIC HEARING • IN1ERSECTION CONTROL ON 45TH A VENUE AT 2ND STREET, 21asTREET AND 3RD STREET Early in 1992, staff detennined that these intersections did not meet warrants for control by stop signs, but as Fridley had "yield" signs on their side of 45th Avenue, staff felt "yield" signs should be installed to be consistent Now, the City of Fridley has requested that Colombia Heights consider supporting their effort to make the above intersections four-way stops. The purpose is to dissuade non-local traffic from using these residential streets to avoid the lraffic lights on University Avenue. Fridley has recently isntalled stop signs for south and westbolDld traffic at these intersections. Currently 2nd and 3rd Streets have "yield" signs at 45th Avenue and 2 1a Street has a stop sign. Traffic is unrestricted on 45th Avenue. Staff does not feel these intersections meet the warrant for the installation of stop signs, but as Fridley has installed stop signs on the north side of 45th Avenue, it is important to have consistent signage. Motion by Sturdevant, seconded by Goodman, to recommend to the City Council that the intersections of 2nd, 2 1a and 3rd Streets with 45th Avenue be controlled with four-way stops. Roll Call: All ayes. B.POST OFFICE TRUCK TRAFFIC PATIERN The City Council at the October 11, 1993 meeting discussed the Post Office traffic at some length and took action directing staff to contact State and Federal elected officials to aid the City in resolving this issue. Letters were sent to both U.S. Representative Rod Grams and U.S. Senator Wellstone. No response has been received yet Discussion was held on the impact of ticketing postal trucks on Tyler Street and 43 1/l Avenue.

IV.OTHER OLD BUSINESS None V.NEW BUSINESS D A.TRUCK TURNAROUND ON EDGEMOOR PLACE AND 3RD STREET Mr. William Franz of 3832 3rd SL requested that the Quonset Hut just north of Edgemoor Place on 3rd Street be used again to provide a turnaround for trucks so they would not have to drive through the residential area Presently trucks that service the businesses on 3rd Street get into the area and have no State-Aid street to get them back out They use residential streets. Staff explained that the City rented the Quonset Hut and the parking area was maintainediby the City as a building to house City equipment Trucks did use this as a turnaround, although technically it was trespassing. The paved area has deteriorated over the years and is now 11ot suitable for heavy trucks to use. Staff was directed to review the area further and make a recommendation. Staff will also check to see if 3rd Street could be designated a State Aid Street to 40th Avenue. Motion by Clerkin, ,seconded by Carlson, to review the area further and bring back a recommendation at a future meeting. Roll Call: All ayes. B.TRUCK DETOUR ON UNIVERSITY A VENUE The City of Minneapolis bas requested truck detour signage in conjunction with the weight restricted bridge between 37th Avenue and St. Anthony Parkway. Staff feels the request is justifiable due to the condition of the restricted bridge. Mn/DOT will not install the signage, but will allow the City to do so within their right-of-way. The emmated cost for the signage is approximately $100. The detour signage would remain in place until the bridge is repaired which could be several years.

I trust you will find the reports to be informational and beneficial with regard to major undertakings occurring within the divisions in this past reporting period. 2)COMMUNITY SERVICE WORKER HOURS-- During the month of October, staff utilized the following hours of volunteer service: Administration/City Hall . . . . 8:25 hours -City Volunteers & Anoka-Hennepin-Ramsey Library . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0:00 hours -Fare Share Fire/Public Works . . . . . . . . . 0:00 hours -Anoka-Hennepin-Ramsey 8:25 hours -Total 110 /i: 3)SHARED RIDE RECAP--: /; .1 \ A Ulv v ,ion and Origination -Destination reports for the mrl{ . ff\/� JI'/ �� MET _oouNc� �ATIVE--I ,VI' , V �f V'_'y ', 'a.t Leung will VlSlt the City Council at Open Mike at the November 22, 1993, City Council meetmg. � Attached please find correspondence from Councilmember Nawrocki regarding Mr. Leung's visit. Section trative fees, Para-Transit, and the Regional Blueprint are important items that Mr. Leung has some A influence over. U · 1 5)ASSESSMENT COSTS-- Enclosed please find a worksheet outlining the assessment costs compared to the hearing and actual assessments. As the Council recalls, this was· an item of inquiry at the last meeting. 6)STUELAND INSPECTION COMPLAINT-- As you recall, David Stueland filed a formal complaint with the City regarding the inspection of property located at 1239 43 1/2 A venue NE. The Assistant to the City Manager has made repeated contacts with the occupants living at Mr. Stueland's address in an attempt to gather more information on the complaint. As of this date, we are waiting for a response from one of the residents involved. I will advise Mr. Stueland of the status of the complaint. In any event, the City Council and Mr. Stueland will be advised in writing. MANAGER'S REPORT Page 2 November 5, 1993 7)STORM SEWER REPAIRS AT JACKSON POND-- Be advised that the Public Works Director has followed up on the City Council inquiries regarding the condition of the pipes removed from the Jackson Pond storm sewer project. Pictures of the condition of the pipes are available in Mark Winson's office. 8)SANITARY SEWER REPAIRS AT 4238 QUINCY STREET-- The Public Works further researched the City's past involvement in sewer service repairs; particularly on Chatham Road. As you recall, a resident had made an inquiry on behalf of the folks located at 4238 Quincy Street regarding the City's participation in costs to repair their collapsed sewer service line. It is my understanding that the resident has made a request to the HRA for a MHFA loan for approximately $1,200 to assist in the repair. The balance of the costs apparently are associated with restoring a retaining wall in front of the property. In order to qualify for the MHF A financing, the resident would have to live on the premises for an additional thirty days, so as to qualify for the ninety day requirement. The residents have decided to proceed ahead without the assistance of the City and a plumber has been contracted to repair the service line. 9)AFL -CIO HOUSING INVESTMENT TRUST-- As you recall, Councilmember Nawrocki presented information regarding participation by organized labor financing local government and HUD redevelopment projects. (Please see attached article.) I had a discussion with the administrator of the Pension Trust in Toledo, Ohio, as to their participation in the Sheffield project. Phil Corsture indicated that the Pension Trust could be involved in the end financing, either in the form of individual loans for mortgages on the units or on the typical mortgage financing of a rental multi-family project. Of course, the pension's participation in the project is tied to the creation of jobs and would require a certain level of exclusive participation by union affiliated contractors. Mr. Corsture is forwarding a packet of information on the project. On a related note, Representative Simoneau has offered to host a meeting with MHF A regarding their special participation in the project. As you recall, the City did meet with MHFA officials during the initial development, however, up to this point, they have only offered their array of typical financing products. 10)BUSINESS CENTER DISCUSSIONS-- I've had a number of informal discussions, both with Zaidan representatives and Sterling Capital regarding their sale and purchase of the six-story office building. They've requested a meeting with the City Council and HRA to discuss their proposal. With further advise from the City Attorney, I will be attempting to arrange a work session whereby the parties could discuss the proposal. 11)MWCC/IDLLTOP LAWSUIT-- I think the parties will be meeting next week to discuss the resolution to both the MWCC and Hilltop sewer lawsuits. Essentially, the intervening assistance of MWCC has brought the three parties to a point of potential resolution. We will possibly need an executive session in the near future to come to a resolution on this issue. MANAGER'S REPORT Page 3 November 5, 1993 12)ANOKA COUNTY COURT MOVE--I have been in contact with Anoka County regarding the court system's use of Columbia Heights' City Hall. Originally, there was an indication that they would be moving out of the building around the first of the year. Subsequent indications feel that their move. may not occur until the summer of 1994. I'm in the process of confirming the approximate timing in writing with the C �t Administration and Property Management officials at Anoka County. :-(!/ \ _ I LI) � \ � I • 0 \\ -j --� l\ �\ 1 MAIDEN LANE PROPERTY TRANSFER--¥/ V i,J-}V UV V\J /\ uncilmember Nawrocki inquired about the status of the i id en Lane property transfer. As you recall, this was a property that was tax-forfeited and an of fer was made by Ralph Fuerst. The Council subsequently accepted the $500 offer, but the actual transfer was delayed due to the fact that the actual deed had to be obtained from the State of Minnesota. For the future, I felt that the offers or sale prices on taxforfeited properties should take into account not only the value of the property, but the cost to transfer, then to be inclusion of the hold harmless agreement concerning the condition or state of property. 14)STATE AND FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT GRANTS--Be advised that our grant application to the Federal Government had been submitted and is under review. On Thursday, the Senate appropriated what appears to be another $22 billion to be used for crime measures including the addition of police officers at the local government. At the same time, our grants to the State Office of Drug Policy have not been finalized. INNOVATION GRANT--his point, I have not been successful in developing interest in a jointly sponsored innovative grant with lher cities in Anoka County. Fridley, et al., is submitting an innovation grant on the senior center project. The Southern Anoka County Community Consortium discussed grants with Fridley, Hilltop, Columbia Heights and two school districts, but some of the jurisdictions declined to participate if it involved new matching dollars. SACC did make an application for at-risk youth position and the disposition of that grant is not known at this time. Additionally, we are pursuing discussion on jobs training, Community Service Programs for youth that the communities could benefit from. I will continue to pursue joint efforts in housing, jail transport, etc. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me before Monday evening's meeting.

SUBJECT: DATE: Operational Report, October 1993 November 2, 1993 I.Events/ Accomplishments A On October 12, 1993, I attended the first neighborhood organizational meeting in the Sheffield area. The meeting was attended by about 50 persons. Also present were Carol Frey and the City Manager, Pat Hentges. A number of issues were discussed. There has since been one meeting following that. This appears to be going well and I think it will be a positive effort in the city in the future. B.We had a Neighborhood Watch meeting on October 26, 1993. I conducted a meeting of the block captains throughout the city to explain community policing further and our intent of expanding our community policing efforts throughout the whole city of Columbia Heights. The meeting was attended by 100-plus people. All of the people seemed interested in the concept and interested in having community policing expanded throughout the city. They were all advised that we would be distributing a survey to all of the citizens here in the near future to assess their interest in the community policing concept, their thoughts and feelings about the police department, and their concerns that they have in their neighborhoods. C.I have been attending meetings with the Commissioner of Public Safety, Mike Jordan, and several other police chiefs in the metropolitan area regarding an alternative hiring program for police recruits. Currently, the only way to get a job in the police field is through the four year degree in law enforcement. The Commissioner is looking into basically creating a cadet program and allow alternative ways for people to get into the service. I will keep you informed as these meetings go along. II.Projects/Goals A.On October 14, 1993, we submitted a grant proposal to the federal government to hire two police officers under the Clinton administration 150 million dollar community policing grant. We also submitted a grant proposal for a technical support person with the Office of Drug Policy. Those grants are currently being reviewed. I don't have any report on our success of getting them or not, but I will keep you updated. Mayor and City Council Page 2 November 2, 1993 m.Issues/Problems A.This month we discovered the storage disk operating system in the law enforcement computer is running out of space. I have been in conversation with our computer vendor about alternatives to this problem and will be forwarding a request to the City Council at the next meeting regarding purchasing additional storage space for the computer. B.Attached also is a memorandum from the Minnesota Police Recruitment System regarding our share of the legal fees for the Fields/Starks lawsuit. This has been forwarded already to the City Manager and is attached for your information. C.Also attached please find the October report about our activities.

New Brighton, Mn. 55112 Dear Pat: This wi 11 confirm our phone conversation regarding your visiting our City Council Meeting on November 22nd. Arrangements have been made and you will be part of the Open Mike portion of the agenda, which comes up shortly after the 7:00 start of the meeting. I have also indicated to the City Council that you may be bringing our RTB representative, MWCC Commissioner, and the area member of the Parks and Open Space Commission. A couple of items that we might ask about are the share of Section 8 administrative fees that the Met Council keeps. Since our local HRA does most of the administrative work for this program, we feel that the percentage sharing of the administrative fees shared by HUD does not appropriately reflect the division of administrative work performed by the Met Council and our local HRA. Also, we understand that the Met Counci 1 has bui 1 t up a reserve from these funds of approximately $450,000. This would further support o·ur feeling that the division of administrative funds between the Met Council and our local HRA is highly unfair. We would also be discussing funding from the RTB for our Columbia Heights/Hilltop/Fridley · para-transit project. Columbia Heights has one of the oldest and most cost-effective para-transit programs in the metro area. However, the reimbursement for our program represents a lesser percentage than other para-transl t programs funded with tax dollars collected bY the RTB. We look forward to your visiting with our City Council on November 22nd. In the event that you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call on me. Sincerely yours, Bruce G.

The Blueprint will replace the Council's Metropolitan Development and Investment Framework, and help guide the region into the 21st century. The Council is currently considering ideas to include in the Blueprint, to be drafted later this year. The ideas focus on 1) revitalizing the region's older areas; 2) encouraging growth to occur within the Council-defined urban service area; 3) creating jobs and fostering economic growth, a new area for the Council; and 4) promoting fiscally sound regional infrastructure. In meeting these challenges, there is no single, magic solution: many strategies and participants are needed. The Council will take the lead on some issues and work in partnership on others, but add value to all efforts by providing: • A policymaker role for regional systems, to more directly support economic growth and urban revitalization. •A long-range view, to help keep short-term actions on track in reaching future goals. •A new role, to lead the region in pursuing solutions and working with others to produceresults. The future of older areu The future of the central cities and the suburbs are linked, and the region as a whole will suffer if the region's older areas continue to deteriorate.

In its new regional role, the agency is shifting from being solely a long-range planner and coordinator to become more flexible in addressing emerging and yet-unsolved regional problems. It will focus on five core areas: land use, regional investments, transportation development, housing Issues and water management. Urban research and long-range planning wiU continue with a more holistic view of issues in core areas. Solutions wiU come from coffa� lion with local govemments, business, education and community groups. Jim Martin Revitalize older areas ·Foster the economy Monitor infrastructure dollars 2 Metropolitan Coundl Keeping the region vital N ational ratings show it. Visitors to our area proclaim it As citizens of the region, we know It firsthand: our Twin Oties area Is a great place to live and work. But we also know we face challenges to maintain our quality of life-global economic competition, squeezed government budgets, deterioration in parts of our older cities. The Council is responding by developing a Regional Blueprint The Blueprint is our plan for economic growth and development In the Blueprint we are looking at ways to: •Develop and reinvest in older parts of the region by attra.cting private i.nvestment •Strengthen job aeation and economic growth. •Allow suburban growth to occur while ensuring Dottle Rietow public services are cost�ffective and urban We also recognize that we need to build partnerships and cooperative networks In new areas of involvement, such as economic develop ment, job aeation and work readiness. We will rely more on forming partnerships in taking action and convening the public and private sectors to pursue solutions. For example, we are bringing together business people, educators and development officials in a working session Nov. 15 to discuss aeating a regional economic development strategy. The Blueprint represents a new kind of leader ship and a new role in the region for the Council. We are looking at not only the issues in our traditional areas of expertise but also other critical Issues like revitalizing older areas of our cities. Metropolitan CouncU Chair sprawl is contained. We are going beyond our usual planning and coordinating role and emphasizing results and accountability. We are building more public-private partnerships for solutions that work for the region. •Provide financially sound public facilities that support development. like highways and sewers. The Council's strength has always been its expertise in planning •physical• infrastructure, like transportation, sewers, and housing. We're proposing ways these systems can more directly support the economic and societal vitality of the region. For example, transit can play an important role in giving central city residents greater access to jobs in our growing suburbs. Regional Blueprint issues affect all parts of the region and all its citizens. The Council will be discussing the proposals in November as part of our consideration of the Blueprint plan. We invite you to be part of those discussions. (Call 291-6594 for the schedule.) We'll need to work together as regional citizens to keep our urban areas vita� our economy healthy, and our quality of life second to none. •' Twin C The country's urban regions face competitive disadvantage in the new economic order. The Twin Cities, as well as other large urban areas in the U.S., need to put their house in order so they can compete in the emerging global marketplace. income differences. Studies show that when the central city is unhealthy and average income low, then suburban incomes are lower as well, Peirce said. Second, U.S. regions don't set reason able limits on outward growth. Outward growth, in tum, makes it harder for people in the center to get to new job locations on the fringe. The development pattern also means duplication of roads, bridges, hospitals, retail centers, etc. in a time when capital is in short supply. This means fewer dollars spent on education, job training or other investments important in global economic competition. 'put your house in order' David Rusk Neal Peirce These were two messages Neal Peirce and David Rusk brought to the Twin Oties In September. Peirce is a noted urban expert and syndicated columnist Rusk. also an author on urban issues, is a former mayor of Albuquerque and former state legislator ip New Mexico. In Peirce's vision, the global economy will be in the domain of the urban region, a •citistate" akin to Athens or Venice at their peaks. He believes American urban centers have three fundamental problems not found in their Asian and European counterparts. First, there is a gulf between poor and affluent cities within regions, which shows up in everything from crime statistics to Third, regions don't have coordinated government As a result, differences aren't resolved. David Rusk presented an array of statistics to assess the extent of the central city-suburban disparity.

An inelastic city is one that hasn't been able to expand its boundaries or merge with a larger jurisdiction. (See Rusk's grid for figures on Minneapolis and SL Paul.) •However, Minneapolis lost ground during the last decade and the region now looks statistically like Milwaukee did a decade ago," Rusk said. ·Solid waste, infrastructure efficiency and air quality don't bring down a region. Racial issues and poverty can," he added. Both speakers praised the Twin Oties for having regional government. specifi cally the Metropolitan Council, tax-base sharing and a regional approach to housing. But they went on to urge the audience to pick up the banner again. -You backed off in the 1980s, so now your challenge is to revive the effort. You know how to do it." Rusk said. Among their suggestions: •Change the tax-base sharing formula to favor cities hurting the most. •Provide higher tax breaks for renters. •Look for housing alternatives to get a better mix. particularly in the suburbs. ("Developers are in a rut. there are options to cukte-sac housin&" Peirce said.) •Develop job apprenticeship programs for young adults along lines of European programs. •Elect the Metropolitan Council and put metro agencies more directly under its jurisdiction.

While economic development is key to improving the lives of poor people and bolstering the local tax base, the problem is current incentives and their effect on development: too many encourage development outside older areas and too few support redevelopment inside. More needs to be done to "level the playing field."' Among the possible solutions: a regional indemnification fund for cleanup liabilities at polluted sites; less government red tape to entangle redevelopment activities; changing tax-increment financing; and improved transportation access to jobs. More flexible regional/local planning The Council considers the concept of an urban service area as crucial to promote the orderly expansion of regional services. But it also believes a new approach to regional land use planning is needed-less regulatory, more flexible and more effective in dealing with issues like affordable housin& environmental protection and local sharing of government services. Under the new approach, a local request to expand the urban service area would trigger negotiations between the Council and local governments. The negotiations would produce solutions tailored to city, multicommunity and regional concerns. Cities would be responsible individually for meeting the terms of the agreement But they would be encouraged to plan solutions joindy with other communities.

Even if the development is outside the urban service area, it may be justified by market demands and the supply of available land. A stronger economy A regional economic strategy being considered by the Council calls for government to play a supporting, not interventionist, role. Government would help remove barriers and support the economy through infrastructure and an educated labor force, although it would not foster growth of specific industry sectors. Promoting the region as one economic unit is a key. Council actions in the works indude a dialogue with business, government and education on developing a cohesive plan. Issues to be considered are the tax and regulatory climate; supporting business to promote the region economically; identifying future infrastructure needs; and working with others to develop an economic-based education strategy. Investments for development As the region faces decisions on making major investments in new regional facilities-possibly a new airport or expansion of the existing one, a light rail transit system, and upgrading of sewage treatment-the Council needs to consider the impact of long-term regional debl Among the ideas being considered: a consolidated and streamlined review of regional investments to monitor debt levels.

WINSON ,JA-i,J PUBLIC WORKS Drr@CTOR/CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: STORM SEWER REPAIR AT JACKSON POND DATE: NOVEMBER 1, 1993 Questions have been raised regarding the need for replacement of some of the pipes at Jackson Pond. The following is a discussion on each pipe replaced. Please refer to the attached map. 1.Quincy Street ' The catch basin on the west side of Quincy Street was constructed with block and mortar. The mortar was showing signs of deterioration and was requiring excessive efforts to maintain. The existing single catch basin was replaced with a larger structure to provide quicker pickup of storm water. The catch basin on the east side of Quincy Street had an irregular shape and was constructed of block and mortar. The structure had experienced significant deterioration, requiring excessive maintenance and the irregular shape made access difficult The 27" concrete pipe between the two catch basins was non-reinforced and did not have gasketed joints. The flow line of the pipe was showing wear and was subject to leakage at the joints. The pipe was replaced with reinforced, gasketed concrete pipe. The outlet pipe was a 27" corrugated metal pipe. The pipe had separated at a bend and the resulting leakage had undermined the pipe and contributed to the erosion of the bank. The flow line of the flat section of the pipe (at the pond) had rusted through. The pipe was replaced with 24" PVC pipe with better flow characteristics and greater resistance to deterioration. Memorandum to Mayor, City Council and City Manager November l, 1993 Page 2 2.Alley west of Central V alu Mall The catch basin was constructed with block and mortar. The condition of the catch basin had deteriorated to the point that it required frequent maintenance. The angle of the pipe coming out of the catch basin made repairs difficult. Water leaking through the outlet pipe had washed away the adjacent soils creating a large void. The 24" corrugated metal pipe between the catch basin and the 48" pipe to the pond was rusted through at the bottom. The last 17' of the 48" Bituminous Coated Corrugated Metal Pipe (BCCMP) had been replaced. The last section of this pipe was relatively new. It was installed in 1991 by the contractor who constructed the retaining wall and damaged the original pipe. The replacement pipe was of a different design and the connection between the replacement pipe and the original pipe was suspect and did fail this summer causing the last section to fall into the pond. Staff determined that since the pond would be drained down for the replacement of the outlet pipes, it was prudent to, at the same time, replace this BCCMP with Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) which requires little maintenance compared to BCCMP. With the replacement of this section of pipe, future repairs to the upstream sections of existing 48" BCCMP can be done (with less disturbance) to the pond banks. 3.60" Outlet Pipe at 44th Avenue The existing 60" BCCMP was replaced with 60" RCP. The bottom of the existing pipe was rusted through in areas and the bituminous coating was missing or cracked in areas. 4.42" Inlet/Outlet Pipe at 44th Avenue The existing 42" BCCMP was replaced with 36" PVC pipe. The bottom of the existing pipe was rusted through in areas and the bituminous coating was missing or cracked in areas. The reduction in pipe size is due to the better flow characteristics of PVC pipe compared to BCCMP. Color photos are available in the Engineering Office of the removed pipe sections. Memorandum to Mayor, City Council and City Manager November 1, 1993 Page 3 It should be noted that the bituminous coating in the existing pipes was maintained annually. The high flow rates and the amount of sand canied by these lines would quickly scour this coating away. Once rust starts in a thin wall metal pipe, it becomes very difficult to prevent its spread even with regular maintenance, especially when the rust starts on the outside of the pipe.

WINSON f{l,_j PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER CITY INVOLVEMENT OF SANITARY SEWER REPAIRS AT 4238 QUINCY STREET NOVEMBER 2, 1993 At the last City Council Meeting, there was a request from the Council regarding what involvement the City could have in the repair of a deep sewer service in need of repair at 4328 Quincy Street. Section 4.326(8) of the City Code states that the owner shall be responsible for maintenance of the building service, including cleaning, repair and replacement. Reference was made to a service repair in which the City participated on Chatham Road. Back in 1981, there was a problem with the sewer at 4763 Chatham Road. It would appear that originally it was thought the problem was in the main and due to the depth (27'), the City contracted to have the line excavated. It was then discovered that the problem was in the service. The final resolution was the City paid for the work to expose the main. An agreement was worked out in which the City paid for Qne-half of the cost to repair the service and fill and patch the excavated area if the property owners released the City from future damages. In the case of 4238 Quincy Street, the main is not excessively deep, being only 9' to 10' below the surface. The main line has been inspected and is not causing the problem. It appears that the reason for the high cost of repair is that the house sits high above the street and there is a 3 '-4' retaining wall, maldng the excavation of the service expensive.
