Mr. Oxsen will advise the City of Chico that the Town of Pleasanton intends to use their money in the Chaper 47 Fund account in Sacramento; therefore, we will be unable to assign said monies to the City of Chico. COMMITTEE REPORTS: POLICE DEPARTT':ENT: Councilman Hewitson reported he and Chief of Police Delucchi had made a survey of the One Way signs and the inability to see same on Division Street, on both Railroad Avenue and St. Mary Street. He suggested that No Right Turn and No Left Turn signs be placed on Railroad Avenue at the entrance to Division Street and a double white line be painted on St. Mary Street to eliminate anyone making a left hand turn onto Division Street. It was the opinion that both situations should be surveyed again to be sure that the above suggestions would be the best solutions to the problem. PUBLIC UTILITIES: Mr. Oxsen was directed to contact,Mr. H. J. Deetz in order to have him lower the concrete blocks, on the bank by the Slope Wall, into the Creek, which will in time fill in and provide additional protection against the bank washing away during the heavy rains. Mr. Oxsen stated that Mr. John McWilliams had liven an estimate of $297.00 for erecting a wing wall to prevent the water in the creek from cutting the bank and undermining the sidewalk adjacent to the culvert on Kottinger Avenue. Mr. Al Avilla will give his esti- mate on same in a few days. The Council directed Mr. Oxsen to write Firma, Inc. regarding their failure to correct certain conditions that they had agreed to upon our acceptance of Amaral Circle as being completed.

Mr. Oxsen reported that he had contacted Mr. Burgess, of the Kaiser Bonding Co., San Francisco, regarding the issuance of revenue bonds. It was Mr. Burgess' opinion that it would be difficult to sell the bonds to increase present water storage facilities, and in turn referred Mr. Oxsen to Mr. Harrington, of Orrick, Dahlquist, Neff and Harrington attorneys for further advice,: After much discussion of the matter, the Council thought it best to call for a general bond issue for construction of 2,000,000 gallon reservoir. Estimated cost of a 2,000,000 gallon reservoir is $4,000.00 plus engineering costs; however, it was believed that a bond issue of $110,000.00 would be best as it would help to finance the drilling of a new well. Mr. Oxsen was requested to contact Mr. John Mancini, Mr. W. B. Boggs, and the Sanitary Engineer, of the East Bay Municipal Utilities District, for their recommendation of Mr. Layton, Civil Engineer.
