SUBJECT: Vine Hill Infiltration Basin Fencing
Milton Kubicek, Deputy Public Works Director, advised the
Board that after the recent heavy rains the Flood Control staff had
determined that the Vine Hill infiltration basin did not infiltrate
at the desired rate. He noted that the basin had approximately 41/2
feet of standing water after the storm, that the Flood Control
District had already incurred a cost of $4,000 for basin monitoring
and guarding, and that it was anticipated that additional guard
costs of $2,000 would be incurred before the water level dropped
below the one-foot criteria. Mr. Kubicek stated that for safety
reasons and because of the potential liability, the Flood Control
District recommended that the Vine Hill Road infiltration basin be
fenced immediately.
The following persons appeared and spoke in opposition to
fencing of the infiltration basin:
1 . Pauline M. Elcenko, 2830 Vine Hill Road, Oakley;
2 . Margaret Chapin, 4781 Knarlwood Road, Oakley; and
3• Tom Claycomb, 2970 Almondwood Place, Oakley.
Supervisor Tom Torlakson stated that he would like to get
additional information on alternative solutions and a report from
County Counsel on the potential liability to the County. He also
requested that a report on a long-term solution be presented to the
Board by March 25, 1986 .
Therefore, IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that the Public Works
Director (Flood Control Division) is DIRECTED to review and report
to the Board as soon as possible on alternatives for a temporary
solution to the drainage problem in the Vine Hill infiltration
basin.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Public Works Director is
DIRECTED to report to the Board by March 25, 1986 on a long-term
solution in the area.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that County Counsel is REQUESTED to
review the question of the County' s liability relative to potential
accidents and/or property damage in the area.
I hereby certify that this is a true and correct copy of
an action taken and entered on the minutes of the
Board of Supervisors on the date shown.
