Dear City Council members:
RECEIVED
OCT 16 2014
The Watershed Board discussed the upcoming special committee meetings on Log House
Landing at our meeting Wednesday (10/08/14) as well as the process after the special
committee brings its recommendations to the Council. The assumption is the Council
will act on all or parts of the recommendations and pass them to the City Engineer with
instructions to proceed to the next phase of design which would include revised plans and
cost estimates.
The CMSCWD Board would like the opportunity to review the design criteria and
engineering plans and have a chance to submit formal comments. We will review this
information in respect to design as well as applicability to Watershed rules and law prior
to the preparation of a construction or bidding plan set. A revised plan and estimate
would also allow the District to establish its financial participation in the project subject
to any grant workplan requirements. The Board will need the approval of a District Plan
amendment for the project.
Even though CMSCWD will have Board members sitting on the Advisory Committee,
like the City Council it will be necessary for the Board as a whole to formally act to

approve participation in the project. It will be essential to have as much detail as possible
for the Managers to review so that they can make a fully informed decision.
I look forward to receiving your comments on the above and if you should have any
questions, do not hesitate to call. Thank you for your concern in protecting and
improving the water resources of the District.
Sincerely,
