Regarding the Stoneridge Mall Framework, Councilmember Narum inquired whether it can get started this year and City Manager Fialho responded affirmatively. He noted staff is taking the majority of its guidance from a major property owner in the area. Regarding the 10-year Infrastructure and Facilities Replacement Plan, Mayor Thorne inquired whether this is a requirement. City Manager Fialho indicated it has not been done to this extent. Councilmember Brown suggested as each item is reviewed, staff provide suggestions regarding whether the priority should change for specific items. In terms of updates to Utility Rates, City Manager Fialho reported the last time this was done was about five years ago. He noted staff implemented a methodology allowing the City to pass on Zone 7 rates and pass on a modest CIP adjustment. That methodology expires this year and staff will need to revisit the matter. Councilmember Brown explained her recent vote against the project, noting it seems to be well funded and did not think it should be Priority A. City Manager Fialho recommended the Design of Sunol Boulevard and Interchange Improvements should be changed to Priority B; Council concurred. Regarding Design of Foothill Road Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements, Councilmember Narum suggested assigning a Priority C with a comment that if the Merritt Property should start the planning phase, they will make many of the improvements. She requested they be linked together. Mayor Thorne agreed with Councilmember Narum's suggestion. Regarding Design of Division Street Improvements, Councilmember Brown inquired if it should follow the DSP completion. City Manager Fialho reported it must follow the Downtown Plan and will involve an extensive discussion with property owners and public involvement. In response to Councilmember Pentin's questions regarding whether it must follow the Downtown Art Master Plan, City Manager Fialho responded he did not believe so. Regarding the Sound Wall Repair and Replacement Program, Mayor Thorne asked to remove his vote, as the project is near his home. Regarding the Amador Theater Facility Assessment, Mayor Thorne inquired if it includes improvements to the balcony. City Manager Fialho reported it does not. City Manager Fialho continued addressing projects, their priority levels and City Council support, He noted projects which have been linked together to maximize efficiencies, as well as projects that will come off the City Council's list. Relative to the Implementation of Phase III of Pioneer Cemetery Master Plan, Mayor Thorne reported the plan was done in 2014 and did not feel the project has received the right amount of attention. He recommended moving it to a Priority A. He felt the project should be self-sustaining and stated he would like to understand the financial aspects a little better. He asked that, after reviewing the budgets and after completion of Phase III, the project be expedited. Councilmember Narum agreed with Mayor Thorne and Councilmember Pentin indicated he supports identifying the project as Priority A. City Council Minutes Page 7 of 11 March 19. 2019
