The City Council of the City of National City
does hereby resolve as follows:
The City Council does hereby determine and
establish, in their desire to maintain the public safety,
that the Department of Public Works of the City of National
City shall make such preparations as are necessary and
incidental to the control, and at the time of occurrence
shall work to control a HISTORICAL FLOOD within the Sweet-
water River Valley which does spill flood waters northerly
of the Sweetwater River Valley along the San Diego and
Arizona Eastern Railroad tracks and Interstate Highway 5.
Those flood waters described above, having the potential
of flooding the E. J. Christman Industrial Park if not
controlled, shall be controlled in the method specified
hereafter.
The Public Works Department shall acquire and
hold in readiness a sufficient stock of sandbags, sand
and such other necessary supplies and equipment so as to
sandbag to elevation 16.00 U.S.G.S. a strip of land described
as follows:
Beginning at a point along the Easterly side
of Interstate Highway 5 at elevation 16.00
U.S.G.S.; thence Southerly along said Easterly
side 150 feet; thence Easterly at right angles
a distance of 120 feet more or less to the San
Diego and Arizona Eastern Railroad tracks;
thence Southerly along said railroad tracks a
distance of 370 feet more or less; thence
Southeasterly along the arc of a team track,
300 feet more or less to a point of elevation
of 16.00 U.S.G.S.
At such time as the City Engineer determines
that there is a danger of a HISTORICAL FLOOD within the
Sweetwater River Valley he shall order the Department of
Public Works to construct a sandbag dyke along the above
described strip, and they shall construct the dyke in a
fast and workmanlike manner. When the City Engineer deter-
mines that all danger of flooding has subsided in the area,
he shall instruct the Public Works Department to remove
the sandbag dyke, and they shall remove all evidence of the
dyke in a workmanlike manner.
