Subject:
Alley Improvement, Tenth Court North of OlymplC Boulevard
Introductlon
This report recommends that the City Council authorize the Staff to proceed
with the alley reconstruction on Tenth Court north of Olymplc Boulevard
under provisions of the 1911 Act in response to requests from property owners
adjacent to the subJect alley.
Background
Representatives of the Salvation Army, the major property owner in the area
between Tenth Street and Eleventh Street north of Olympic Blvd., have
requested the City to reconstruct the alley in this area. The City Staff
has prepared a prelininary plan of improvement which calls for the alley
to be reconstructed of concrete pavement to withstand the extensive traffic
from large trucks and from forklift trucks which are used by the Salvation
Army and Bourget Brothers, as well as others, in thlS alley. The alley
presently is ln the worst condltlon of any alley in Santa Monlca due to the
heavy trucks and the forklift trucks.
It is proposed by Staff that the City pay 50 percent of the cost (approximately
531.000) from eXlstlng budgeted malntenance funds and that the property
owners be assessed for the remalnlng 50 percent of the cost (531,000). A map
designating the property owners and a llst of the proposed assessments is
attached.

The Staff has contacted the other MaJor property owner, Bourget Bros., regarding
this lmprovement. They have lndlcated that they will not oppose the project
and assessment lf they can pay over a multi-year period.
Alternatlves
1. The City can continue to patch the alley at no additional cost to property
owners. The result of thlS will be a contlnuing poor alley surface condition
and a long-term maintenance expense, In order to malntaln the alley in a
minlmum condition. it is currently necessary to patch the alley approxlmately
once every two weeks. ThlS has not been done and there are severe chuckholes
existing in the alley.
2. Other combinations of fundlng. lncluding assessment fundlng, can be
established. It is not recommended that the Clty fund the project in its
entlrety due to general fund limltations. Gas tax funds may not be used for
alley construction; they may be used only for streets which are 40 feet or
more ln wldth.
Recommendatlons
It lS recommended that the Clty Council authorize City Staff to proceed under
the provisions of the 1911 Act for this lmprovement with the City paYlng
one-half of the cost from available Malntenance Funds. Account 421-664.

Dear Mrs. Drobnfck:
This h in response to your request for an estimate of
cost for the reconstruction of the alley serving the Salvation
Al'1I\V between 10th and 11th Streets north of OlYlJ1)ic Blvd. As
we discussed. thts alley 1s probably the worst 1n the City and.
the poor condition b due to the extremely heavy us. by an of
the property owners, but especially Bourget Brothers and the
Salvation Army.
As we discussed, it Is OQr recOl11l1endatfon that this alley
be reconstructed fn concrete due to the heavy truck and forklift
use. If this is done, and tf the Council agrees to for'lll an
assessment dfstrict. the costs to property ownen would be as
shown on the attached sheet.
Please look this over and advise us ff you w1sh to proeeed.
We win awaft your response before discussfng thfs with the
other property owners. This would not requfre majority property
owner approval from a purely legal standpoint, but it ts our.
opinion that we should have at least one of the two major property
owners in favor before pursuIng this project.
Very truly yours,
,
