businesses that would be affected by the construction of the interceptor

Jean Clements,Steve Rach,Danny Garcia,T.W.Wirthgen,Kay Tucker and
D.J.Brighton,who reiterated concerns of local businesses in the con—

which would divert traffic from Knott Avenue,due to the Christmas season,
first-of-year clearance sales,problems of delays occasioned by inclement
weather,pending union contract negotiations and the financial strains
already caused by the recently completed portion of the interceptor below
Lincoln.
The Board then entered into a lengthy discussion concerning the proposed
project,the ~vai1ab1e alternatives and mitigation measures which could
be.incorporate4 into the contract to minimize the impact on local businesses
and residents during the proposed construction period.Also discussed
was the affect of inflationary cost trends on the alternate schedules.

An amendment to the motion was then offered and seconded to approve
Alternate B,in concept,subject to a final determination by the Board
following further report and recommendation by the staff with regard to
the best bid and construction schedule within the general Alternate B
time frame.
After more discussion,a further amendment was made and seconded
that the staff be directed to return to the Board at a future meeting
for approval of the plans and specifications for the Knott Interceptor
Sewer from Lincoln Avneue to Orangethorpe Avenue,Contract No.3-20-3,
