CM 2-22-83 Page #2 • Councilman Taylor stated that depending on where they would be needed, there is no doubt in his mind, in a period of one year the staff time involved would pay for one of them. He requested three alternate proposals from different manufacturers. Mayor Tury requested that there be some proposals presented to the Council at the next meeting, and possibly if we are shopping for three of them, there may be a better deal. Councilman Imperial requested that Mr. Burbank contact the company to see if there is a possibility of purchasing three bottom units with a portable board. He felt that additional research should be done on this. Councilman Cichy stated that the purchasing a portable board doesn't seem practical in that the damage that could be done to the board and the manhours it would take to transport a portable piece of equipment from one location to the other would eat up the value.

VI. MATTERS FROM OFFICIALS A. COMPACTION REQUIREMENTS FOR SIDEWALKS ON DEL MAR AVENUE John Maulding, City Engineer, stated that the method of com- paction was a vibratory compactor, a shoe type of compactor, about the size of lawn mower. It is the type of compaction devise that is used to get a firm bed for the placement of'the concrete. The job has continuous inspection on it, and that is the devise that was used. Councilman Taylor stated it is now in the records now, and there should not be any failures on it. He stated that he had looked at that when he was down in that area Sunday, and there were forms up on the west side of Del Mar toward the south end of the project, they were not compacted and he stated that empha- tically, but the concrete may have been poured yesterday or today He stated that it is in the record and there shouldn't be any failures. B. Frank G. Tripepi, City Manager, stated that there were two bills regarding Cable Television passed out this evening, and from the first view of them appeared to conflict with what the City plans for Cable T.V., Senate Bill #54 and AB 512. He stated that those two bills will be presented to the Council at the next Meeting and request the lobbyist to-pursue a position of opposition on those bills. C. Councilman Imperial stated that he had received a letter from Cal American Water Company stating that they were sending him a little black box that he should place in front of his house and they would put his water bill in there. He stated that they had just received an increase in their rates. He requested a legal opinion on the water company doing such a thing. Councilman Taylor stated that he had installed the little black box in front of his house already. The intent was that when the meter reader reads the meter he would insert the bill at that time in the black box which would save postage and billing out of their office. After all the cost of all the black boxes and they are still proceeding with the mailing of the bills. It is just an added cost. CM 2-22-83 Page #4 VII. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS A.
