Body
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the 51st Amendment to the Annual Appropriation Resolution No. 2017-165 to appropriate $358,400 for new capital projects in the Public Works Department.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
There are three new capital improvement projects staff is preparing to implement which are funded from a State grant and other local sources. The grant-funded Trail Network Expansion Feasibility Study was awarded State funds through the Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program administered by Caltrans. The other two projects are funded by developer deposits for public right-of-way acquisitions associated with developer projects. Staff recommends Council adopt the amendment to the AAR in order to provide appropriations in the Public Works FY2018 Capital Budget to sufficiently cover anticipated expenditures for these new projects.
BACKGROUND
Staff is seeking Council approval on the attached AAR amendment which will appropriate funding for three new capital projects. The projects are funded via a combination of State funding and other local funding from developer deposits with $358,400 of appropriations being requested for current FY2018 expenditures. The remaining project costs of $311,600 will be included in the proposed FY2019 capital improvement budget.
The projects are categorized as follows:
• Trail Projects - This category consists of one project. The listing is comprised of the Trail Network Expansion Feasibility Study. The funding for the Trail Network Expansion Feasibility Study project is proposed with State funding, which was previously authorized by the Council on November 3, 2016, as part of Resolution No. 2016-223 for a grant application through Caltrans. Council later approved the grant agreement on December 14, 2017.
• Miscellaneous Projects - This category includes two projects for Right-of-Way acquisitions. Right-of-Way Acquisition will purchase right-of-way on behalf of development for Tract 6163 located on the Southwest corner of Dakota and Temperance Avenues and Tract 6139 located at the Northeast corner of Olive and Polk Avenues. Funding is provided by the developer under a right-of-way acquisition agreement which is classified as other local funds. Total appropriations for the projects are $270,000.
Based on the review of the existing FY 2018 Capital Budget the projects and the appropriations to fund anticipated FY 2018 expenditures must be added. The proposed adjustments are summarized in the tables attached. Detailed adjustments are in the Amendment to the Annual Appropriation Resolution attached.
