'Board of Trustees City of Santa Aha, Gentlemen:- I have been requested to ex,mine those certain proceeding~ had by your Board leading up to.and con- cerning certain proposed work Or public improvement on Bristo St. City of Santa A~a. I have made an examination of those proceed. inge and the documents which I deem necessary to consider for the purpose o5 · complete determination of the validity therecf are as follows: Improvement Act 1911, Resolution of Intention No.60~ Ordinance No.6ZO, Resolution of Intention No.591 Plans,specifications and profiles adopted for work under Resolution of Intention ~60~, Resolutioa of Intention No.60~ and Resolution of tion No.591,both oo~taln the express condition that the work be done and the proceedings had hhareunder, shall he done, under and pursuant to an Act of the Legislature of the State of California, designated the Improvement Act of 1911, the Act prescribe& · complete scheme or system for the accomplie] ment of the design included in it, &nd although its pro are to be liberally construed to the end that its provisions may he effective (see Sec.82) nevertheless certain things ar, required to be done which are the foundation of Jurisdiction authorizing the public officers to proceed, and a failure to do those things are fatal to · valid proceeding. The first provision is to be found in Section 2 of Act, which provides that any street or streets or any part thereof may be graded to the official ~a~e. Bec. ~ provi dee that before any work le done or improvement made which authorized by this Act, Thu~ aa you will see that the Act requires that · dul established and existing official grads of the Btreet to be improved when the work is to be done, must exist and · to have a valid established existing official grade is fatal to the validity of the proceeding. A grade of_a portion of Bristol St. wa~ established by Ordinance No. BZO, adopted by the Board of Trustees on the 5th day of March, 191?, which Ordinance I think was valle but thereafter the Board of Trustees of said City endeavore~ pursuant to part ~ of the Improvement Act of 1911, to change, modify and establish the official grade -* emisting under Ordinance No.6ZO. The ResOlUtiOn of Intention No.60~ under which this proceeding is being conducted, u~es ae its baals for gradin~ the grade sought to he established by Resolution of Inten- tion No 591, and not the grade provided for in Ordinance No 6 o. Therefore, if Ordinance No.620 did establish the and Resolution of Intention So.~91 was invalid, the grade has not been changed and the grade used in this proceeding is not the official grade. The proceedings taken under Resolution of Intention 591, seeking to change, modify and establish the grade on the streets and at designated points therein mentioned are invalid for the reason that they wholly fail to contain two Ju~isdictional features required of part 2 Beotion ~ of th Improvement Act of 1911. These two Jurisdictional features are as follows: (quoting from the statute): 'Sec. ~3- let. Such resolution ooo ehall~eeignate and establish the district to be henefittted bytsuoh ohang~ or modification of grade or re-grade and to be assessed the cost of the same.~ ~The Superintendent of Streets shall also cause to In Re Rescinding Bristol St. In Re Paving of Ed ~tion for paving inger St. be conspicuously posted within the dletrict designated in the Resolution notices. I have very carefully reaAand examined Reaclutio: of Intention No.591 and there is not even an attempt to designate or establish a district for any purpose. 'Sec. ~- 2nd. If no objection to said proposed change coo or modifications of grade shall be filed with the Clerk of the Council within thirty days from the first publication of the Resolution of Intention hereinbefore mentioned' oo~ 'the City Council shall have power to order and deol~ such grades to be changed and established in conformity to said Resolution., Resolution of Intention No.591 was panned by the Board of Trustees on the 19th day of November 1917, it was first published on the 22nd day of November, l~l?,(see affidavit of publication) it provides no opportunity for the filing of objections with the Clerk within thirty days after the first publication, but sought to fix a hearing and to give an opportunity to he heard before the Board of Trustees tc show cause why the improvement should not be carried out at a designated hour and day, to-wit: ?:30 o'clock p.m. on the l?th day of December,l~lT,the giving of thirty days' opportunity after the first publication of the Resolution for the filing of objections was Juris- dictional and a failure to pursue the statutes at least substantially in a fatal defect. You will observe that the time fixed for the hearl~ before the Board of Trustees was but 2~ days after the dat~ of the adoption of Resolution of Intention No.5~l and but ~5 days after the date of the first publication thereof, therefore, if the holding of this hearing was competent to take the place of an opportunZty to file objections it was wholly fatal for the reason that it,d not give the statu- tory time, to-wit: 30 days. I have carefully checked the grade with 7ou~ engineer from the prSflee in hie office used in this pro- oeedlng and find that they ars the grades as sought to be established by Resolution of Intention No.~91, which, being invalid, never established the grade. Therefore, you are not under Re~ution of Inten- tion Vo.60~ ~nd its succeeding proceedings grading or paving Bristol St. to the official grade and your acts are not authorized by Sections a and ~ of the Improvement Act of 1911. There are two other defects in these proceedings which in my Judgment are fatal to their validity,but in view of the absolute failure of Jurisdiction as above ex- plained, ! deem it that you do not desire a detailed state- ment of these. One of the provisions of Resolution of Intention ~60~ is that one-half of the expenses pertaining tc the public work to be done under the proceedings shall be paid out of the public treasury of the city of Basts Ann, and unless these proceedi~ authorize that expenditure then no legal authority to do so exists. ! therefore advise ~ha you that in view of the defects pointed out above a~ that all proceedings under · asolution of Intention No.60~ are invalid and that to expend the public money pursuant thereto would be an illegal act. I further advise you that a bidder could not be compelled ~o execute a contract to do the work nor would he be responsible for failure to dc so, or could hie certified check accompanying his bid be declared forfeite~ to the City of Santa Asa. R~epectfully submitted CLYDE BISHOP ~ The motion of Trustee MoPhes that it is the sense of the Board to a~cept the report and rescind all actions taken 'in the paving of Bristol St. from Fifth St. to the City Limits on the South, was duly seconded by Greenleaf and carried.
