The Engineer requested authorization to_do these borings, if necessary. Concerned with a significant delay in getting approval of the Step 1 Study should this be required and not authorized.

Very concerned about the delay that would be caused .in seeking approval of grant amendment. --Eder - hasn't Oakland solved their problem. --Bohrer - put in a system a couple of years ago that the Building Inspector and Engineer were concerned about. Added on to their system; but, gave full credit to their existing system and there was no information as to whether the existing system was working. They were still having problems with water ponding on the surface over the drainfield with the new system. They are listed in the 201 Study as having a need. --Eder - discussed this with the previous Building Inspector. File should contain written comments and concerns regarding this system. City should not have to pay for the borings - School District should be notified and required to provide this information. --Novak - would like to see this done so as not to jeopardize the City's review standing - Should contact the school district and notify them that they will be financially responsible for the work.
