various City streets. This year, the Department has identified those streets within Sections
14 and 19, as well as Vista Chino, east of Gene Autry Trail, as those streets requiring a
slurry seal consistent with the Department's schedule of maintenance.
The Department has coordinated with the planning staff from the Agua Caliente Band of
Cahuilla Indians, and will not be performing work on those streets adjacent to the current
Casino Project.The slurry seal specifications have been prepared by Department staff,are
ready for Council approval and the subsequent advertisement for construction bids.
Section 7.03.040 of the newly enacted Procurement and Contracting Code requires that for
