PUBLIC SERVICES
Director of Public Services Yee
explained that these Resolutions were
for the Downtown Revitalization
Project, the areas on Grand Avenue
between Spruce and Airport Blvd.
He presented samples of bricks in
various colors. He discussed at
length the projected change of street
lighting from 300 watt incandescent
to high pressure sodium lights with
two 100 watt bulbs on each pole.
The suggestion from Captain McKeon
of the Police Dept. was to use two 200 watt
bulbs of the high pressure sodium lights
to help minimize crime.
Consensus of Council - to go with the
high pressure sodium lights with two
100 watt bulbs.
A discussion followed on basic color
schemes, green and gold, and the
eventual landscaping with tree guards
and grates to water the trees;
newspaper racks accommodating from 3
to 6 newspapers; trash receptacles;
and planters.
Mr. Duplessis, Park & Recreation Dept.,
described the wooden benches and the
concrete planters being 6' x 6'.
A discussion followed on vandalism
of the new trees to be planted and
adequate protection as a safeguard.
A discussion followed on the different
types of architecture that would be
demonstrated in the Project.
Director of Public Services Yee
described the seat-wall to be built
around the planters and quoted the
various prices for receptacles, benches,
etc. and showed a schematic with the
locations of the various items and
said if Council wanted to change the
plans, he requested direction.

A RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO MAKE

PUBLIC SERVICES - Continued
A discussion followed on the ownership
of the present benches on the sidewalks
and whether they were owned by Samtrans,
the City or private Contractors.
Mr. Duplessis, Park & Recreation Dept.,
described the hearty shrubs and trees
that would constitute the landscaping
and would tolerate the weather. He
continued elaborating on the slow
growth of the eucalyptus and the
maximum growth potential of the
other trees.
Director of Public Services Yee related
that 1.64 million was estimated some
months ago and that figure had not
changed for the total cost including
all of the expenditures that took
place earlier. The funding is the
same with $225,000 from HCDA, $150,000
from Revenue Sharing, $11,500 from the
Parking District, $15,400 from the
Sewer Tax, $241,000 from the Gas Tax,
$291,000 from the County Tax and the
Assessment District estimated would
be $508,000 which represents $140-150
per running foot. If the estimate
comes in within this range, the
County's participation is only
related to street traffic. A critical
point, he related, is that even though
the County is participating in this
program they are holding back on
other projects because of the gasoline
sales - so this might be the last
opportunity to get the County's gas
tax.
A discussion followed on the ways to
minimize the impact of construction on
the merchants while the project is
underway and the effect on the pedes-
trians.
M/S Teglia/Damonte - to adopt the
Resolution.
