.lint Iles <br /> iA'occmbrr 9. ?OU-{ <br /> Paec - ' <br /> onto thc r:iih�oad tracl:s. The slope tlattens out and th�r� is a �vetlands sxrea for containntent of <br /> any flo��s that would be headed to���ard the trachs. Because of this topo�raphy, there is no <br /> discernible public safety issue that stal�f is ��vare of relatin�� tu the railroad tracks. If another <br /> landslide ���ould occur on the liillside, the only do���nslope property �vould bc land owned b�� <br /> \\':ildahl that is undeveloped and inaccessible. " <br /> In weighing whether the Ciry should proactivelv pursue a geotedmical study, one looks <br /> to whether a duty exists to do so. Given d�c lack of a clear puUlic safety purpose, the study <br /> ��'ould be for tlie benetit of Waldalil only. As such, spending public funds for a personal purpose <br /> ��oul�i b� constitutionally prohibited. II cou(d also put the City in the positioii of having assumed <br /> :� "�;ratuitous duty" �vliere notte now exists. It is my opinion tliat the City should be careful and <br /> not set a preccdent of perforniing studir_s for those wlio allege they cannot afford one. Finally, I <br /> am aware that the City has to conunission any gcotechnical work to private firnis due to Qic I.�ck <br /> uCan on staff�,eotechnical cngincer. Given the rccent wavc of initiatives, die City is not in the <br /> position to pay fwids Cor such endeavors. Fur all of the above reasons, [ believe the prudent <br /> avenue for the City is to decline to invoh�e itselCin ivlr. Walci::hl's situation. <br /> Thank you for thc opportunity to aid you in this analysis.
