Introduction
This report recommends that the City Council award a contract to J & R
Landscaping and Sprinklers for the installation of a sprinkler irrigation
system on San Vicente Blvd. center strip from 14th St. to 26th St.
Background
The existing irrigation system is over 20 years old, corroded, and unreliable.
Buildup of mineral deposits in the galvanized lines restricts the flow of
water and causes the valves to stick. The requested system is designed
to increase the efficiency of water use and reduce maintenance costs by using
less equipment.

3:00 p.m., Tuesday, June 12, 1979, and read publicly by the Assistant City Clerk.
