Honorable Councilman Marvin Braude
11th Dlstrict
Room 275, City Hall
Los Angeles, California 90012
Dear Councilman Braude:
The Santa Monica City Council at their meeting of November 11, 1980,
again consldered the replacement of the Fourth Street stairway between
Ocean Avenue and Adelalde Drlve.
The Council agreed to proceed with eminent domain action to secure
a landing at the top of the stairs, provided the project is scaled
down, constructed from wood, and remains unlighted.
I would suggest that our respective staffs meet to resolve the details
as necessary. It may be possible to use wooden treads to satisfy
Santa Monica and to construct the remainder of the stdirway of more
durable materials requiring less maintenance to satisfy the concerns
of Los Angeles. Please ask your staff to contact Stanley Scholl,
Director of General Services at Santa Monica City Hall, in thlS
regard.
Yours very truly,

Dear Hr. Scholl:
In order to make sure that each agency (Santa }~nica and
Los Angeles) has a clear, definitive understanding of the
provisions agreed to at the Meeting in Councilr-an Braude's
West Los Angeles District Office on December 5, 1980, (including
the subsequent clarifications made in ensuing telephone
conversations), I am documenting these provisions. The
provisions are as follows:
1. The City of Los Angeles, (Bureau of Engineering) will
modify the present design as follows:
A. A resi1ent tread surface will be provided to accommodate
joggers. The resi1ent surface may either be of wood or of a
material applied on concrete similar to that used on the
surface~ of outdoor athletic areas, (tennis courts, hand-
ball courts, etc.). Des-Q-Tex is the trade name of one
example of such a material.
B. Although it was agreed that the present concept of
providing a lightlng systeM is to be preserved, we will
see if the type of lighting can be changed to SOdlUP,
instead of mercury vapor.
2. Your office will arrange for the City Council of Santa
Monlca, at its first meeting in January 1981, to consider
the following'
A. Approval of the comdemnation of the required parcel
,.;i thln Santa Honica.

B. Increasing Santa ~fonica's share of the financing
from $20,000 to $40,000, which is due to inflationary
increases in the cost of the project caused by delays,
plus the additional cost for the resilent surface
reque s ted by Santa 'fanl ca.
