Director of Public Services Addiego stated, with Council's approval, each item could be discussed one at a time and acted upon. Alternative I - The City has an option to allow the install- ation of a six-foot galvanized steel cyclone fence at no cost to the City, or install a six-foot vinyl-clad cyclone fence at an additional cost to the City of approximately $3,750, or install a six-foot galvanized steel cyclone fence with redwood slats at an additional cost to the City of approx- imately $8,347, or select a six-foot redwood fence at an additional cost to the City of approximately $24,375.

Staff's recommendation is to eliminate the ten-inch sanitary sewer siphon under Colma Creek and construct a ten-inch sewer line parallel w. ith the creek downstream to Spruce Avenue at an additional cost of $25,000. The recommendation will re- sult in the best long range cost effective solution. To replace the proposed siphon would cause perpetual maintenance problems.

Staff's recommendation is that the County provide a rolled earth path equivalent to the existing path at no cost to the City. The fully improved pathway could be done later. Alternative 5 was also considered at this time - Under this category the City has the option of accepting approximately $15,800 towards future landscaping along each side of the creek as a mitigation effort by the County.

Councilman Acosta moved, seconded by Councilman Damonte, and regularly carried that the recommendation of Staff be approved and accepted. Alternative 6 - It is the intent of City Staff to negotiate compensation for the transfer of the right-of-way by the Flood Control District for the channel improvements and maintenance road.
