EXTENDING A LOCAL EMERGENCY FOR THE GOODVIEWS ABATEMENT PROJECT (“GAP”)
On December 21, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-R101 that extended the GAP local emergency until March 1, 2023. Since it adopted Resolution No. 2022- R101, the City experienced multiple rain storms in 2023 which led the City Council to de clare an additional local emergency to address the 2023 Winter Storms (Resolution No. 2023- R5, adopted January 18, 2023).
These ongoing Winter Storms are delaying the completion date for the GAP. The engineer’s estimate for a completion date is now on or about April 30, 2023. 71-51
