1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, August 25, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: PRINCIPAL ENGINEER THERIOT
RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR GREEN APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AWARD CONTRACT TO PACIFIC CREST ENGINEERING, INC., FOR ONCALL SPECIAL INSPECTION TESTING AND GEOTECH SERVICES, IN THE AMOUNT OF $250,000
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution awarding a contract for on-call special inspection, testing, and geotechnical engineering services to Pacific Crest Engineering, Inc. (PCEI) for an amount not to exceed $250,000 for a three-year contract term ending on June 30, 2029.
BACKGROUND:
City projects frequently require special inspection, testing, and geotechnical services that are best provided by consultants.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Watsonville frequently requires the services of specially trained and certified individuals to perform the following tasks on an on-call and as-needed basis:
Inspection, sampling & testing of:
• Concrete & masonry structures
• Earthwork projects
• Hot mix asphalt
Geotechnical engineering, including:
• Review of design documents
• Field observation
• Preparation of reports, recommendations, plans and specifications
2 These services have been used on recent or current projects, such as the Bridge Street Reconstruction, Green Valley Road Improvement Project, and the 2025 Pavement Maintenance Project.
On June 22, 2026, the city released a Request for Proposal forspecial inspection, testing, and geotechnical engineering services on an on-call and as-needed basis. On July 17, 2026, eleven proposals were received.
A selection committee reviewed all proposals received against the requirements of the RFP to determine the most qualified firm(s). Staff recommends that Council approve an agreement with PCEI, the most qualified firm, to provide on-call special inspection services. The contract is for a three-year term, with a maximum amount of $250,000.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
Awarding a contract for On-Call Special Inspection, Testing and Geotechnical Engineering Services, to be used on an as-needed basis in support of multiple future, as-yet approved projects, does not meet CEQA’s definition of a “project” under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), as an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The contract is also exempt under Section 15061(b)(3), the common sense exemption, as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility this action may have a significant impact on the environment. Each project on which the subject on-call services are used will be subject to any required CEQA review at the time the project is approved.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
The contract supports the following Strategic Plan Goal:
Infrastructure & Environment
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost of these on-call services will be paid on an individual project as on-call needs arrive. The budget for these on-call services will be included as part of the budget for each particular project.
The cost of the services provided by PCEI will be paid entirely by projects that will already have been approved in the budget and have funding appropriated.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
No reasonable alternatives are known at this time.

Airport Boulevard Improvements
Since 2019 Pacific Crest Engineering has been assisting the City with geotechnical engineering and construction-phase materials testing in conjunction with the Airport Boulevard improvements. Our services included a subsurface
investigation to develop geotechnical recommendations
for restoration of approximately 600 feet of damaged
roadway near the Freedom Boulevard intersection, as well as related HMA testing during the subsequent road repair.
We also performed HMA testing for the Airport Boulevard improvements between Larkin Valley Road and Aviation
Way.
Our 2020 subsurface investigation included six, 12-inch diameter borings, associated laboratory testing, cataloging of subsurface conditions, and development of geotechnical design recommendations for construction of replacement pavement section(s).
In-place density of the HMA was performed by our certified materials testers during pavement operations in accordance with California Test Method CT-375. Relative compaction results were calculated based on theoretical maximum density values as determined in accordance with AASHTO T209.
Bulk samples of the HMA were obtained in accordance with California Test Method CT-125. We also collected core samples during paving that were transported to our certified PCEI laboratory for density determination in accordance with California Test CT-308. These core densities were averaged and used to compute relative compaction values for each sample set. The average percentage air voids were determined for each set of core samples in accordance California Test CT-367.

Client Contact: MME| Rodney Cahill, Principal | 831.291.3254 |[email protected] Monterey City Streets Rehabilitation Project, City of Monterey In 2021, Pacific Crest Engineering was retained by the City of Monterey to develop design recommendations for restoring damaged pavement for 21 streets. The pavement along the subject roadway segments was experiencing varying degrees of distress including alligator cracking, block cracking, depression, joint reflective cracking, patching and potholes. In support of this effort, we explored and evaluated the existing conditions along the subject roadways and developed recommendations for new pavement sections.
Our study included advancement of 51, 12-inch diameter borings extending to depths of 2½ to 4 feet below the road surface. HMA, aggregate base and subgrade samples from our exploratory borings were returned to our laboratory for evaluation of engineering properties of the materials encountered along the subject roadway sections. Based on the results of laboratory testing and engineering analysis, Pacific Crest developed geotechnical recommendations for subgrade stabilization, compaction of subgrade, aggregate base and HMA, soil, aggregate and HMA material specifications, structural pavement sections, and surface drainage improvements.

The General Aggregate Limit under Section D. LIABILITY AND MEDICAL EXPENSES LIMIT OF INSURANCE applies separately to each of your "projects".

BLANKET ADDITIONAL INSURED BY CONTRACT
This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following:
BUSINESS LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM
Except as otherwise stated in this endorsement, the terms and conditions of the Policy apply.
A. The following is added to Section C. WHO IS AN INSURED:
Additional Insureds When Required By Written Contract, Written Agreement Or Permit The person(s) or organization(s) identified in Paragraphs a. through f. below are additional insureds when you have agreed, in a written contract or written agreement, or when required by a written permit issued by a state or governmental agency or subdivision or political subdivision that such person or organization be added as an additional insured on your Coverage Part, provided the injury or damage occurs subsequent to the execution of the contract or agreement, or the issuance of the permit.
A person or organization is an additional insured under this provision only for that period of time required by the contract, agreement or permit.
However, no such person or organization is an additional insured under this provision if such person or organization is included as an additional insured by any other endorsement issued by us and made a part of this Coverage Part.
The insurance afforded to such additional insured will not be broader than that which you are required by the contract, agreement, or permit to provide for such additional insured.
The insurance afforded to such additional insured only applies to the extent permitted by law.
The limits of insurance that apply to additional insureds are described in Section D. LIABILITY AND MEDICAL EXPENSES LIMITS OF INSURANCE. How this insurance applies when other insurance is available to an additional insured is described in the Other Insurance Condition in Section E. LIABILITY AND MEDICAL EXPENSES GENERAL CONDITIONS.
a. Vendors

(1) The insurance afforded to the vendor is subject to the following additional exclusions:
This insurance does not apply to:
(a) "Bodily injury" or "property damage" for which the vendor is obligated to pay damages by reason of the assumption of liability in a contract or agreement. This exclusion does not apply to liability for damages that the vendor would have in the absence of the contract or agreement; (b) Any express warranty unauthorized by you;
(c) Any physical or chemical change in the product made intentionally by the vendor; (d) Repackaging, except when unpacked solely for the purpose of inspection, demonstration, testing, or the substitution of parts under instructions from the manufacturer, and then repackaged in the original container;
(e) Any failure to make such inspections, adjustments, tests or servicing as the vendor has agreed to make or normally undertakes to make in the usual course of business, in connection with the distribution or sale of the products;
(f) Demonstration, installation, servicing or repair operations, except such operations performed at the vendor's premises in connection with the sale of the product; Policy #

Bankruptcy or insolvency of the insured or of the insured's estate will not relieve us of our obligations under this Coverage Part.
2. Duties In The Event Of Occurrence, Offense, Claim Or Suit a. Notice Of Occurrence Or Offense

A person or organization may sue us to recover on an agreed settlement or on a final judgment against an insured; but we will not be liable for damages that are not payable under the terms of this insurance or that are in excess of the applicable limit of insurance. An agreed settlement means a settlement and release of liability signed by us, the insured and the claimant or the claimant's legal representative.
4. Separation Of Insureds
Except with respect to the Limits of Insurance, and any rights or duties specifically assigned in this Policy to the first Named Insured, this insurance applies:

(May include copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc., with its permission) (2) Premises Rented To You
That is fire, lightning or explosion insurance for premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner;
(3) Tenant Liability
That is insurance purchased by you to cover your liability as a tenant for "property damage" to premises rented to you or temporarily occupied by you with permission of the owner; (4) Aircraft, Auto Or Watercraft
If the loss arises out of the maintenance or use of aircraft, "autos" or watercraft to the extent not subject to Exclusion g. of Section B. Exclusions.
(5) Property Damage To Borrowed Equipment Or Use Of Elevators If the loss arises out of "property damage" to borrowed equipment or the use of elevators to the extent not subject to Exclusion k. of Section B. Exclusions.
(6) When You Are Added As An Additional Insured To Other Insurance That is other insurance available to you covering liability for damages arising out of the premises or operations, or products and completed operations, for which you have been added as an additional insured by that insurance; or
(7) When You Add Others As An Additional Insured To This Insurance That is other insurance available to an additional insured.
However, the following provisions apply to other insurance available to any person or organization who is an additional insured under this Coverage Part:
(a) Primary Insurance When Required By Contract
This insurance is primary if you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance be primary. If other insurance is also primary, we will share with all that other insurance by the method described in c. below.
(b) Primary And Non-Contributory To Other Insurance When Required By Contract If you have agreed in a written contract, written agreement or permit that this insurance is primary and non-contributory with the additional insured's own insurance, this insurance is primary and we will not seek contribution from that other insurance.
Paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply to other insurance to which the additional insured has been added as an additional insured.
When this insurance is excess, we will have no duty under this Coverage Part to defend the insured against any "suit" if any other insurer has a duty to defend the insured against that "suit". If no other insurer defends, we will undertake to do so, but we will be entitled to the insured's rights against all those other insurers.
When this insurance is excess over other insurance, we will pay only our share of the amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the sum of:
(1) The total amount that all such other insurance would pay for the loss in the absence of this insurance; and
(2) The total of all deductible and self-insured amounts under all that other insurance.
We will share the remaining loss, if any, with any other insurance that is not described in this Excess Insurance provision and was not bought specifically to apply in excess of the Limits of Insurance shown in the Declarations of this Coverage Part.
c. Method Of Sharing
If all the other insurance permits contribution by equal shares, we will follow this method also. Under this approach, each insurer contributes equal amounts until it has paid its applicable limit of insurance or none of the loss remains, whichever comes first.

© 2018, The Hartford
(May include copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc., with its permission) If any of the other insurance does not permit contribution by equal shares, we will contribute by limits. Under this method, each insurer’s share is based on the ratio of its applicable limit of insurance to the total applicable limits of insurance of all insurers.
7. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others To Us
a. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery
If the insured has rights to recover all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments, we have made under this Coverage Part, those rights are transferred to us. The insured must do nothing after loss to impair them. At our request, the insured will bring "suit" or transfer those rights to us and help us enforce them. This condition does not apply to Medical Expenses Coverage. b. Waiver Of Rights Of Recovery (Waiver Of Subrogation) If the insured has waived any rights of recovery against any person or organization for all or part of any payment, including Supplementary Payments, we have made under this Coverage Part, we also waive that right, provided the insured waived their rights of recovery against such person or organization in a contract, agreement or permit that was executed prior to the injury or damage.

non-contributory with the additional
insured's own insurance.
(4) Duties in The Event Of Accident, Claim,

provisions apply:
(1) Primary Insurance When Required By

agreed in a written contract or written
agreement that this insurance be primary.
If other insurance is also primary, we will
share with all that other insurance by the
method described in Other Insurance 5.d.
(2) Primary And Non-Contributory To Other
Insurance When Required By Contract
If you have agreed in a written contract or
written agreement that this insurance is
primary and non-contributory with the
additional insured's own insurance, this
insurance is primary and we will not seek
contribution from that other insurance.
Paragraphs (1) and (2) do not apply to other
insurance to which the additional insured has
been added as an additional insured.
When this insurance is excess, we will have
no duty to defend the insured against any
"suit" if any other insurer has a duty to defend
the insured against that "suit". If no other
insurer defends, we will undertake to do so,
but we will be entitled to the insured's rights
against all those other insurers.

insurance, we will pay only our share of the
amount of the loss, if any, that exceeds the
sum of:

is:

(2) The actual cash value of the damaged or
stolen property at the time of the "loss"; or
(3) The cost of repairing or replacing the
damaged or stolen property,

deductible will be equal to the largest deductible
applicable to any owned "auto" for that coverage.
No deductible applies to "loss" caused by fire or
lightning. Hired Auto Physical Damage coverage
is excess over any other collectible insurance.
Subject to the above limit, deductible and excess
provisions, we will provide coverage equal to the
broadest coverage applicable to any covered
"auto" you own.
We will also cover loss of use of the hired "auto" if
it results from an "accident", you are legally liable
and the lessor incurs an actual financial loss,
subject to a maximum of $1000 per "accident".

COVERAGE, in the event of a total "loss" to a
covered "auto", we will pay your additional legal

Adopt a resolution awarding a construction contract to Satellite Painting, Inc. for the Civic Plaza Building Exterior Painting Project, No. CB-26-15079, in the amount of $259,000.00, and authorize and direct City Manager to execute the same.
BACKGROUND:
Bids have been received and opened, and the results have been tabulated by the Purchasing Officer, with a recommendation from the City Manager to award the construction contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder which requires Council action.
DISCUSSION:
At the June 23, 2026 City Council Meeting, Council adopted Resolution No. 104-26 (CM) authorizing the call for bids for the Civic Plaza Building Exterior Painting Project No. CB-26-15079. The project was publicly released on July 14, 2026, with electronic bid submissions due August 11, 2026 through the City’s online procurement portal, OpenGov.
A mandatory prebid meeting was held on July 23, 2026 for which 19 potential bidders attended. The engineer’s estimate was $300,000. A total of 8 bids were received prior to the bid submission deadline, and the results are tabulated below:
2 Contractor Bid Total Listed Subcontractors
Satellite Painting, Inc. $259,000.00 None
Primal Paint, Inc. $358,000.00 None
Fresh Start Painting Co. $367,780.00 M2B Engineering, Inc., Swing Stage Systems, Inc.

STRATEGIC PLAN:
This project is consistent with strategic plan goal:
Infrastructure & Environment
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This project is planned in the Civic Center Fund Capital Improvement Plan for fiscal year 26/27. There is sufficient budget available in account 0246-906-7855-15079 to cover the cost of the project.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, August 25, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: SENIOR FINANCIAL ANALYST DIAZ
RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR GREEN APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE NO-COST CONTRACT
AMENDMENTS FOR TIME EXTENSIONS ON VARIOUS PUBLIC WORKS
CONTRACTS THAT REQUIRE COUNCIL APPROVAL
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute no-cost contract amendments to various Public Works contracts.
BACKGROUND:
City departments manage contractsfor various types of work and consultant agreements. These contracts are executed with an estimated completion date based on the original scope of work. The City’s current Purchasing Policy requires time extensions to return to the original approval authority for time extensions on said contracts, even if there is no change to cost or scope. In the July 7, 2026 Council meeting, Council approved the first reading of a modification to the municipal code which if the second reading is approved, would go into effect at the end of September allowing City Manager to sign these amendments going forward. These contracts require extension before the municipal code update goes into effect.
DISCUSSION:
Over the course of the completion of a contract, various delays may occur that are outside of the contractor’s control or may be delayed by City scheduling preference and/or staff availability. In these cases, the contract scope and budget have not changed, but the original completion date may expire before completion. In these cases, the City may need to amend the contract to extend the completion date.
2 Under the City’s Purchasing Policy, contracts or amendments that originally came under the approval authority of the City Council, are required to return to Council for extensions of time, even when there is no change to scope of work or compensation.
The following list of contracts falls under this no-cost or no-scope of work change category, and have a completion date that will expire soon:

STRATEGIC PLAN:
This recommendation is consistent with the following Strategic Goals:
Efficient and Well-performing Government
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact as all these contract time extensions have no impact on scope or cost.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, August 25, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
RECOMMENDED BY: PARKS & COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR CALUBAQUIB
PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR GREEN
APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVE A SHARED USE AGREEMENT WITH WATSONVILLE
WETLANDS WATCH FOR OPERATION OF THE NATURE CENTER AT
RAMSAY PARK
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution approving a Shared Use Agreement with Watsonville Wetlands Watch, a non-profit, for the operation of the Nature Center at Ramsay Park; and authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute same.
BACKGROUND:
For 16 years, the City of Watsonville’s former Nature Center operated out of a small trailer in Ramsay with staff from the City’s Public Works Department and support from Watsonville Wetlands Watch (WWW) staff to run community and school programs. Community members of all ages learned about local habitats, embarked on guided nature walks, engaged in environmental conservation, received free conservation devices, and participated in hands-on learning experiences. Knowing the trailer facility would need to be replaced, the City and WWW developed a plan to develop a new shared Nature Center.
Seed funding for this project was donated to WWW by a former City staff person, Nancy Lockwood, who helped to build the original Nature Center. The gift was made as a legacy gift in her will when she passed away in 2019.
The City originally put the project out to bid for a new building construction in the fall of 2024, following a multi-year design process. When construction costs were determined to be outside of the City’s available budget, the project pivoted to the renovation of the Family Center building, where the Nature Center will be housed.
2 The family-friendly Center will be an inviting space where visitors can learn through interactive bilingual exhibitions about protecting our local wetland ecosystem, walking and volunteering on local trails, conserving natural resources, taking climate action, the natural and cultural history of the Pajaro Valley, and the historic and present-day relationship of Native peoples to the environment. The Center will continue to serve as a gateway to the surrounding and growing recreational wetlands trail system. The Center will also serve as a central hub for local environmental conservation work and volunteer programs.
A new mosaic mural has been designed with community input and built by Community Arts and Empowerment at the Muzio Center. This mural, to be located on the outside of the building, with honor native peoples of California and their relationship to the wetlands, along with community care and stewardship of local wetlands today and into the future.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Watsonville and WWW are partnering together to develop the next chapter of Watsonville’s Nature Center that will serve as a hub for environmental learning, resilience, and conservation, with bilingual exhibits and programming. The Nature Center will be housed within the renovated Watsonville Nature and Family Center in Ramsay Park. The vision for this building is a new Nature Center that educates and inspires community environmental stewardship and climate resilience, community volunteerism for local wetlands and trails, and resource conservation.
The Nature Center will offer guided tours, community programs, workshops, and outdoor activities, for families and visitors of all ages, as well as youth programs and school-based field trips for local students, K-college, with a focus on the PVUSD audience. The new Nature Center will function as an environmental learning center and conservation headquarters for Watsonville with the mission to serve as an accessible space to connect people to nature, to each other, and to resources to create a healthy, equitable, and resilient Watsonville community.
Watsonville's Nature Center will continue to be a free, bilingual, public environmental education facility.
Historically, more than half of visitors are Spanish speaking, and the provision of free, bilingual exhibits, programs, and staff are key to the Center's popularity and broad outreach. The location is connected to trails, bike lanes, and bus routes, providing excellent accessibility for low-income residents.
The Center will offer free open hours to the public on weekends and host school groups, evening lectures, community programs and workshops, and volunteer training programs on weekdays, as well as summer youth programming. All exhibits and programming will be offered bilingually, in English and Spanish. The Center will be one of the only fully bilingual (Spanish/English) environmental conservation and interpretation centers in California. Together, the Center’s exhibits and programs will invite area residents to take informed environmental and climate action, care for the City’s environmental resources, participate in City conservation programs, and contribute to the work of restoration and stewardship of the Pajaro Valley’s wetlands, trails, and the many environmental assets that make this community so special.
3 Per the recommended Shared Use Agreement, the building will be staffed by both City and WWW staff.
The Agreement, under consideration of adoption by City Council, clarifies roles and responsibilities for the City and WWW and represents a very strong commitment to bringing this project to reality. Watsonville Wetlands Watch has secured the funding for Center’s exhibits and interpretive features from $1.6 million dollars in grant funding and private donations raised to date. Following renovation of the building, the WWW and the City will work together to oversee fabrication and installation of the exhibits. The Center will house office space for WWW and approximately 3,000 square feet of educational exhibit space. The Center is planned to be opened in summer of 2027, following the installation of the exhibits.
Other key terms of this Agreement Include:
City Responsibilities:
Construct new Nature Center.
Pay for all facility maintenance and utilities.
Provide WWW with access to four workstations.
Provide WWW with access to facility to lead programs during no less than 50% of open hours. Maintain exhibits per grant requirements.
WWW Responsibilities:
Maintain WWW office space and exhibit areas by keeping these areas neat and organized. Provide free educational and environmental programs to the public. Seek funding to provide staff for WWW and shared WWW and City environmental programs. Recruit and train volunteers for City and WWW programs for wetlands, trails, urban forestry, and other environmental conservation and sustainability programs. Provide environmental programs that benefit Pajaro Valley wetlands, trails, urban forestry, urban greening, watershed health, agricultural and groundwater sustainability, climate adaptation, and resilience, and other environmental conservation and sustainability measures and related arts and science.
Provide funding not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for installation of outdoor native plants and low water landscape demonstration areas adjacent to the Nature Center Create a $30,000 maintenance fund to repair, reconstruct, and update the content of grantfunded educational Exhibits. Furnish and supply its independent office space for its office use and related program functions.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
The action of adopting a Resolution approving a Shared Use Agreement with Watsonville Wetlands Watch for the operation of the Nature Center at Ramsay Park is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The activity is not a “project” as defined under Public Resources Code Section 21065 and Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the action does
4 not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it has also been determined that the activity qualifies for an exemption pursuant to the “common sense” exemption (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3)) because the activity involves minor alterations to an existing structure including installation of educational exhibits primarily within and immediately adjacent to the building which involve no expansion of existing or former use. These minor alterations will not cause a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment; therefore, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed project will have a significant effect on the environment. Moreover, the activity qualifies for an exemption pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 because the activity is a minor alteration of an existing public structure that will result negligible or no expansion of the structure’s existing use as a public recreational resource.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Community Engagement & Well-being: Nature Center operations engage the community through education focused on individual, community and environmental health and wellbeing. Fiscal Health: Partnering with WWW to operate the Nature Center maximizes City and WWW resources to accomplish mutual goals.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Per the proposed agreement, WWW shall pay the City $1.00 per year in rent and maintain the portion of the Nature Center utilized for WWW office space, educational programing, and Exhibits by keeping these areas neat and organized. WWW will fund the construction and installation of Exhibits. WWW will also provide funding not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for installation of outdoor native plant and low water landscape demonstration areas adjacent to the Nature Center and create a $30,000 maintenance fund to repair, reconstruct, and update the content of grant-funded educational Exhibits.
The City will Construct and develop, with the cooperation and assistance of WWW, the Nature Center and fund ongoing maintenance of the facility, including repairs, water, garbage, sewer, electrical and gas utilities.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The Council may elect to not approve this agreement. The Nature Center exhibits would not be constructed and the City would operate the facility without WWW.
