DISCUSSION OF PUBLIC WORKS COMMISSION APPROVED PROJECTS - STATUS UPDATES
end
RECOMMENDATION
• Receive and file Public Works Commission project status updates
SUMMARY
Based on the Public Works Commission’s recommendation, Staff has prepared a table comprised of all projects that have been reviewed and then forwarded by the Commission to City Council for final approval since August 26, 2019. The table is included as Attachment 1. As directed, Staff is to continue providing ongoing project status updates to the Public Works Commission in tabular format on a quarterly basis.
The most recent update was given at the Public Works Commission meeting in September 2022. Staff continues to adapt to vacancies in the Engineering Division, and, while making progress, has a number of items that are still in progress. Three items were completed this last quarter and will be dropped from the tracking table after tonight’s meeting.
Not shown on the table is the status of school area improvements that were approved over several meetings ending in 2018. Some of these improvements have been made, but others were to be included with future and undefined adjacent street improvement projects, or projects involving curb ramp installations or other similar work. With the recent addition of a temporary and part time traffic engineering specialist, staff will work toward a reconciliation of these approved improvements with the work yet to be done. We hope to present an update for the school area safety study improvements program with the next quarter’s update in March 2023.
