Pacifica Tribune/Jane Northrop, Staff Writer, 2/10/15. "City and AIMCO settle on terms of Esplanade repairs." "An AIMCO-owned apartment building, The Bluffs, next door at 380 Esplanade Ave., suffered ground subsidence. The city's rock revetment next to The Bluffs was also damaged.
At that time, a city storm drain ran under the AIMCO property.
AIMCO blamed the city for damaging its property. The city
disagreed, but in Sept. 2010 entered into a settlement agreement with
AIMCO. The city rerouted that storm drain to the 500 block of Esplanade
Avenue, pumped out the storm water from AIMCO's parking lot, and
repaired the revetment and the parking lot at the The Bluffs." Read article.Reference - From Fix Pacifica article reprint, City Council Meeting Agenda, 2/9/15.

If anyone knows more about the AIMCO settlement with the City, and has additional information-- that would be appreciated.
Put in a public records request.
Kathy, it's all buried in the supporting docs for the settlement agenda item for the 2/9 council meeting. Read it and weep.
1218, since you've read the Item 5 settlement agreement, 353 pages, and wept-- how about giving us a summary of what you understand from what you read? Thanks in advance.
Kathy, just scan for dollar signs... although some of the engineering stuff from GeoSoils is very interesting. Keep in mind this settlement process has been on-going since 2010. AIMCO says the city's drainage pipe which previously went under the AIMCO property was a factor in the loss of their apt bldgs. City Pipe had to be relocated and repairs made. Pacifica has set aside funds in some account and will be reimbursed to some extent by something or other, sometime. Grants. And Mother Nature agrees to leave that section of coastal cliff alone if the city will agree to the same. That's about it.
