4. STUDY SESSION
2022-2025 Capital Improvement Plan (Public Works)
Recommendation:
• Approval of 2022-2025 Capital Improvement Plan.
Director of Public Works, Noe Negrete provided a presentation on Item No. 4. He summarized about coming to Council late last year with a needs list that needed to be condensed, which now stands at 41 projects with an estimated cost of $28 million. He added that the project list is an evolving document, and that changes can be made as needed. Individual meetings were held with each Councilmember to help identify which projects needed priority, along with identifying commercial streets that need attention.
Director Negrete spoke about "Exhibit B" which highlights the recommended projects and how they could potentially be funded. He spoke about defining the scope of work for certain projects so that the true cost can be identified and grants can be searched for. Councilmember Sarno asked if there would be a separate study session for the Aquatic Center, which Director Negrete stated there would be in order to coordinate on what to include when it comes to the renovation.
Director Negrete spoke about "Exhibit C" ", which provides an update on the ongoing projects for 2021-2022. Other items that were discussed were current projects in design, and the projects completed in 2021. He concluded the meeting by thanking Council, the CIP Subcommittee, executive team, management team, all City departments, and Public Works staff for their support in finalizing the project list. Mayor Pro Tem Zamora requested copies of the exhibits that were shown during the presentation. City Manager, Ray Cruz stated that discussions were had with federal and state legislators in an attempt to help secure money for specific projects.
