Council Member Webb noted that the chance of a tsunami occurring is low on the list of
potential emergencies; however, he would be in favor of the mechanical system if a system

the City hire an engineer to conduct a study to see if a wave would reach the Bay. This
may reduce the cost since not as many systems would be needed. He requested to see the
final costs since signage was not included in the estimate. Fire Chief Lewis expressed
concern about water surges, not waves reaching the Bay, and noted that a system can be

new sediment, the test data can be valid longer. Commissioner Rodheim noted that there

is a company who is willing to pay the City to share its samples and assist with
neutralizing the contaminated areas so it can be disposed of at LA -3. Harbor Consultant
Rossmiller explained that sediment is different in the Upper Bay than in the Lower Bay
because contaminants are absorbed more into the super fine grain material in the Lower
Bay. He reported that parts of the Lower Bay have not been dredged since the Harbor was
built. He provided an estimated timeline when testing will be completed in the different
toxicity areas and emphasized that it is difficult for the City to get ermit to dredge due
to contamination levels.
