ST-79-1 - ASSESSMENT DISTRICT A RESOLUTION APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS, CALL FOR SEALED PROPOSALS AND FIXING LIQUIDATED DAMATES FOR FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE WORK WITHIN THE TIME SPECIFIED - DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION PROJECT NO. ST-79-1 - ASSESSMENT DISTRICT (TF-181) (TF-247) 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. 2/13/80 Page 2 AGENDA ACTION TAKEN I08 PUBLIC SERVICES - Continued 1. Staff Report 2/13/80 - Cont. (TF-273) (TF-320) A RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO MAKE CHANGES AND MODIFICATIONS, ETC. 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.
