address it. Councilmember Sullivan agreed with having the Human Services Commission taking the lead.

He described the major portions of the program, said the projects are one-time and related to streets, buildings, water, sewer and other projects. There are no personnel expenses and dedicated funding sources are used in the CIP. He presented the first two years as funded programs and said prior to expending any significant monies in the second year, a mid-term CIP is held for any necessary adjustments. There are a total of 41 projects in the CIP; total expenditures of $32 million with about $50 million of financial resources which includes transfers and a beginning balance. He said the expenditures are primarily for maintenance projects, but that the City experiences considerable expenses and new projects are in the planning stages and not necessarily in a construction-ready stage. The total financial resources is less than recent CIP’s which relates primarily to reductions in General Fund monies transferred from the General Fund to the CIP. This results from the overall state of the economy, needs of the operating budget, and as the City gets closer to build-out the demand for General Fund will lean more towards maintaining existing projects and programs rather than new projects or programs, which is reflective in this CIP. He said the City Council priorities and community expectations continue to be met in this CIP, and he presented the Council’s 5 priority projects which have either been completed or are near to completion, other priority projects recently completed, and he said numerous public amenities total $30.6 million. On page 4 of the CIP, an outline is provided of the Council priorities and a status of those which relate to the CIP. He said if funds are used by the State the City will most definitely discuss the best way to address the CIP. All gas tax, Prop 42 and Prop 1B money goes to street projects and there is a small amount transferred to the General Fund to offset engineering costs. Mr. Bocian discussed the annual street resurfacing in the amount of $2.2 million which is consistent in previous years, sidewalk and intersection ramps which has increased, traffic signal installations, improvements to the traffic computer, $4.3 million in the CIPR which is a fund the Council made use for its highest priority projects, water and sewer annual replacement projects, displayed planning project in the amount of $200,000 which is coming from the VTC as a grant and work to rebuild the F-6 pump station at $3.9 million with $1.6 million in this CIP and the rest in reserves. He thanked all employees involved in the CIP, particularly Sally Madrid, the City’s Fiscal Services Manager, who had recently retired. Councilmember Thorne asked to agendize discussion on whether or not the City will participate in saving street projects from the State’s taking, and Mr. Fialho suggested it be part of the Council’s City Council Minutes Page 9 of 13 June 16, 2009
