City Manager Holmes reported that the Department of Corrections is in }}{ � +{�
the process of selecting sites for correctional facilities in Los Angeles, f
Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties as part of a voter authorized i ��7iit jVai,
bond issue to alleviate prison overcrowding in California. One area
,rison being considered is west of Interstate 10 and Highway 60. The City of
;ite Beaumont, Beaumont Chamber, San Timoteo Canyon Association and others {+ttt
'pposition are expressing concern about the impact of such a facility in this area.
Councilman DeMirjyn moved to send a letter opposing this site to the
Department of Corrections and to ask other cities in this area to join
in our opposition. Motion seconded by Councilman Martinez, and carried
unanimously.
Public Works Director Donnelly explained that we have been advised by the
State that there is a gas migration problem at our landfill. The common
method of correcting gas migration is by "mining the gas," flaring it off,
and capping the landfill with impervious material. The estimated cost
of this work is about $1.25 million, and we would lose the remaining nine
Year life of the landfill with an estimated value of $510.000 ner year
