Council Communication

Title:	Environmental Assessment - old Nevada Street substation property
Dept:	Administration
Date:	November 19, 2002
Submitted By:	Brian Almquist, Interim City Administrator

Synopsis:	At the October 15 City Council meeting, it was requested that staff return to council with a process and the costs for preparing an environmental cleanup assessment of the old substation property on Nevada Street, east of Oak Street.
Recommendation:	It is presumed that the council wishes to proceed with the review, irrespective of whether the City decides to put the property on the market in the future, due to the possible presence of PCB's on the site. Based on this, staff recommends that council authorize the city to proceed with the site and soils analysis.
Fiscal Impact:	$1,450.00, which includes digging of test holes throughout the site and a soil sample analysis.
Background:	On the assumption that council will want to proceed with the environmental assessment, the city has contacted Jim Batzer of Western States Environmental Services. After completion of the environmental assessment, a full report will be provided to council.
