would occur probably sometime in August. He stated he expected the public
hearing on the EIR would probably be in October and that selection and final
approval of the design should occur in 1987. He reported that right -of -way
acquisitions are planned to begin in 1987 -88 fiscal year, at a cost of approximately

New Los Angeles Avenue or "alternate route ", suggesting further
that Griffin could negotiate directly with the City Engineer on the
study, or could deal directly with their own engineer. However,
she suggested further, that since the City does have the priority
of 118 and those improvements, it might be of benefit to see what
the impacts and costs are.

and read a resolution declaring support of the Board for the
proposed project.
Bill Mitchell, representing the Highway 118 Association, reported the

the situation.

stating the position of the District that there is a need for a
school site in the eastern portion of the City.
