RE: Grapevine Creek Sanitary Sewer ProJeCt SS 93-0~/
Date: October 22, 1993
As per our conversation this morning, I have contacted Dan Frettinger, with Kenko, Inc.,
concerning the current status of the property behind Mr. Seraphin's house. Mr. Frettinger
informed me that they did have crews lined up to start work on Monday, October 18, 1993 but
the rain obviously impeded their ability to work. They do have people on the project today
working the dirt and preparing the property to gear up again for Monday, October 25th to
replace Mr. Seraphin's yard. I informed Mr. Frettinger that the Mayor and several Council
Members have been contacted concerning this issue and that the City may be contacting the
president of their company in regards to this project. The name given to me as the president
of the company was Jeffrey McGrand, (909)795-2568. Mr. Frettinger stated that he had been
speaking with Vern McGrand concerning this issue. As you and I discussed, I am as frustrated
about this situation as Mr. Seraphin. It is my opinion that I have conveyed information to Mr.
Seraphin that has been conveyed to me through our contractor and because that has not been
followed through with by the contractor for what ever reason, it has made me look less than
reputable in the eyes of Mr. Seraphin. We are doing everything and trying to exert as much
pressure as we can to bring this to a amenable conclusion for both the City, the contractor and
the property owner. At this time, there has not been any perceivable damage to the property,
however, Gan'eth Campbell stated that a small portion of the property has sloughed off due to
the rains this week. With good weather, a full work force will be on the project October 25th,
1993 to restore Mr. Seraphin's property back to its original condition. If I can provide any
additional information please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
