Lois Larue spoke to a number of matters: requ,ested low /moderate income housing, referred to the dissertation she distributed at the January 17, 1995 meeting, questioned the wisdom in moving earth in the landslide area, cited what she felt was the inadequacy of the half round pipe system in that area, and suggested the need for a peer review group for decisions made affecting the landslide area. Council discussion centered on the possible reduction of unfunded mandates such as the American with Disability Act, the desirability of using this funding for the flexible drainage system, the REACH program and for such administrative programs as Juvenile Diversion. Also briefly discussed was the formation of a peer group to work with Dr. Ehlig and how the delay in distribution of the CDBG funding had stalled the engineering for the dewatering project in Portuguese Canyon which otherwise would have been completed a year ago. The importance of this project to the stability of PV Dr. South was stressed and therefore it was felt that the City should continue to use General Fund money to finish the engineering and EIR for that project. The suggestion was made that some of this CDBG funding be used for an administrative project to focus on getting other cities to also use their funds CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 7, 1995 PAGE 3 for slide stabilization since the residents of neighboring cities traverse this road.
