COMPREHENSIVE STUDY FOR MASTER PLAN OF DRAINAGE: A report dated
'J'anuary 10~ 1964, was presented from the City Manager concerning
the City's Master Plan of Drainage. The report indicated that the
present Master Plan of Drainage Report serves only as a general
guideline and does not provide the Public Works Director with
enough design detail for the actual construction of the drainage
facilities. The current procedure is to refer all drainage
problems to Tours Engineering for an interpretation of the
January 13~ 1964
Master Plan of Drainage Requirements as individual development
occurs. Under this procedure~ there is always a possibility that
the individual drainage solutions may not be satisfactory for the
total drainage plan.
One solution to this problem is the preparation of a detailed drainage
design study which would be financed throuSh the Housing and Home
Finance Agency of the Federal Government under a loan provision
entitled "Advances for Public Works Planning" (P.L, 560). The
Fublic Works Director has estimated the cost for such a study to
be between $20~000.00 and $25,000.00.
The Public Works Director has prepared an outline of specifications
for a ~udy of this nature and it is recommended that the City Council
authorize the City Manager a~d Public Works Director to formaltze
these plans in order for private engineering firms to submit proposals
to the City.
After discussion~ it was moved by Councilman Gorzeman, seconded by
Councilman Wright, and unanimously carried, to authorize the City Manager
and Public Works Director to finalize the specifications for a

the immediate purchase and installation of three overhead traffic
signals to be installed at the above intersections and in addition
would request two overhead signals which could be installed at
those intersections which do not receive County approval under the
Orange County Arterial Highway Financing Program requests. In the
event all of the permanent signals requested of the County were
approved~ these additional two overhead signals could be placed at
two other intersections which may become critical in the next six
months.

signals. Mrs. Prtchard~ 5892 Orange Avenue, Cypress, inquired
