ALTERATIONS TO CONSENT AGENDA
CONSENT AGENDA
Mayor Johnson attended the Budget Subcommittee meeting, and he reflected that this is not an easy process and the City will explore all revenue options so that Scotts Valley can be the best that it can be.
2025 Project Funding for CA 19: The City submitted two projects for this round of funding. The first is to upgrade the critical radio infrastructure for the Police Department, and this project was submitted to the COPS and USDA Rural Development Programs. The second was for facility construction at the Al Shugart Park. This park has been planned since 2008, partially constructed in 2015, but still lacks the central amenities that are needed for a park. The City has park development impact fees to put towards this project, but the project in total will cost more than the amount that the City has available.
Spring/Summer Recreation Activity Guide: This interactive activity guide went live last week and people can sign up now for classes.
CM Dilles announced that the Santa Cruz Law Library Annual Scrabble Tournament is at the County building, Room 70, on May 11th. It is $25 for adults and free to students in grades 7-12. Contact CM Dilles or the law library for more information.
