On the Agenda: Jan. 9 City Council Meeting
The next City Council meeting is
Tuesday, January 9. Items of interest
are highlighted below. The entire
agenda and reports can be
viewed here.
The regular meeting will begin at
4:30 p.m. Agenda items include:
• A resolution to establish an
Ad Hoc Transit, Transportation,
Parking and Mobility Committee and
confirm Mayor O’Neill’s
appointments of Mayor Pro Tem Joe
Stapleton, Councilmember Noah Blom, and Councilmember Lauren Kleiman to serve on the committee. The committee would work with City staff and make recommendations to the City Council regarding transit, transportation, parking and mobility improvements. The
committee would also identify potential funding sources to help support the recommendations.
• An $11.9 million construction contract to Riverside-based International Line Builders, Inc. for utility undergrounding in central Balboa Island, a project previously approved by residents and funded through an assessment district (Underground Utility Assessment District No. 124 – Phase 1). The low bid was about 37% below original estimates, due to an improved bidding environment for this type of work
and the relatively larger size of the assessment district. Construction work will be done in phases to minimize community impacts.
• A revised Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Newport Beach Library Foundation and construction contract award for the Central Library Lecture Hall Building project. The amended MOU revises funding conditions and other terms for the Foundation under a 50/50 cost-sharing agreement with the City. The construction award would approve a $19 million construction contract with AMG & Associates, Inc., of Santa Clarita, the low bidder. The total project cost is estimated at about $23.5 million. If approved, construction would begin in the spring and be complete in late 2025.
