City Council Meeting October 1, 2014
7:00 pm @ Council Chambers

On September 21, 1780, during the American Revolution, American General Benedict Arnold meets with British Major John Andre to discuss handing over West Point to the British, in return for the promise of a large sum of money and a high position in the British army. The plot was foiled and Arnold, a former American hero, became synonymous with the word "traitor." He later moved to England, though he never received all of what he'd been promised by the British. He died in London on June 14, 1801. |

During the September 17 regular Council meeting, Elias Mahfoud, Office Chief of Central Region Construction for CalTrans gave a presentation relating to the work being performed on HWY 99, as well as the overpasses on both Draper and Sierra.
Council members expressed concern over the extended construction schedule and cost of the project, as well as the safety impacts involved. Originally, work was scheduled to be completed by August, 2014. Mr. Mahfound indicated that work has been delayed for numerous reasons until at least late 2014, and could take until May, 2015 depending upon the weather.
Those with additional questions regarding the HWY 99 or overpass projects are encouraged to contact Mr. Mahfound directly.

 As was reported last week, the City continues to chlorinate the municipal water supply, as required by the State Water Resources Board. The City has been reducing the amount of chlorination in the water to lower, but acceptable levels in an attempt to lessen the noticeable smell and taste difference.
It should be noted that while total coliform was detected, NO other bacteria (E. Coli or fecal coliform) have ever been detected through City tests. The presence of total coliform is generally not harmful, but is used as an indicator of the presence of other potentially harmful bacteria.
It's anticipated the chlorination process will continue through October 12. All subsequent tests of the system have been absent of the total coliform that prompted the initial chlorination process.
