AGENDA ITEM
(*11-426 CC/*11-035 CIC) Recommendation to Appropriate $237,113 from Community
Improvement Commission West End Community Improvement Project Bond Funds,
$83,416 in Capital Project Fund, $47,000 from Paying In-Lieu Fees, and $130,000 from
the Parking Meter Fund and Award a Contract in the Amount of $1,476,583, Including
Contingencies, to Suarez & Munoz Construction, Inc. for Park Street Streetscape,
Lincoln Avenue to Webb Avenue, and Central Avenue to San Jose Avenue, No. P.W.
10-09-30.
The Public Works Director stated tonight’s action only requires Council approval; the
Streetscape Project was listed in the official statement when redevelopment bonds were
issued in 2003 and was also included in the public improvement reimbursement
agreement that was executed between the City and CIC in February of this year; a CIC
vote would be redundant; the project is consistent with the enforceable obligation
payment schedule that would be addressed at the following CIC meeting; in light of the
uncertainty created by the pending redevelopment case before the Supreme Court and
the potential for further changes to redevelopment law Statewide, staff is requesting that
September 6, 2011

as Measure B, gas tax, and other non-General Fund transportation related funds should
CIC bond money not be available.

Association.

Project.

[Council action only and authorizing staff to have some flexibility to substitute other

related funds should CIC bond money not be available].
Councilmember Tam seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote – 5.
