Mr. Bocian referenced a staff report dated June 14, 1999 and noted that every two years the City prepares a Capital Improvement Program which forecasts capital improvements revenues and expenditures for a five-year-period. Further, that the Commission is requested to determine that the Program is consistent with the General Plan with a determination of this fact being forwarded to the City Council for its meeting of June 22, 1999. Mr. Bocian commented on the potential purchase of 157 Main Street with the project being brought before the Commission at a later time to specifically examine environmental review and General Plan issues. Further, that purchase of this property will commence in the summer of 1999. In conclusion, Mr. Bocian noted that staff's recommendation is that the Commission adopt the attached resolution finding that the proposed Capital Improvement Program is consistent with the General Plan. In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Kumaran, Mr. Bocian commented on the location for the Foothill widening. Further, he noted that recommendations relating to safety issues on Foothill Road have been referred to the engineering staff and that a recommendation will be made after the Capital Improvement Program has been adopted by the City Council at the meeting on June 22, 1999. Further, if changes were necessary to the Capital Improvement Program, an amendment would be made to the Capital Improvement Program at a future date.
