Vanessa Kawaihau, 871 Sycamore Road, referred to page 99 of the 2003- 04/2004-05 Mid-Term Budge! and Capital Improvement Program and mentioned that in February when the Capital Improvement Program was going through the Commissioner's review, the Happy Valley Bypass Reserve had a Capital Improvement Program number of 045019. When the midterm financial report came before the Council in June, the bypass road Capital Improvement Program number was 035006. ghe noted that page 99 of the Mid-Term Budget and Capital Improvement Program no longer reflects a Capital Improvement Program number for the golf course bypass road. She noted that in the status of the project, it goes from a "yet to be determined pending development" to the "reserve available" for City Council priorities. Her understanding in the approval of the map for New Cities was that the $500,000 contribution from New Cities was to be used for the Happy Valley bypass road or other Capital Improvement Program projects in the Happy Valley area. Also, the project went from funded to unfunded and a half a million dollars was identified from the in lieu park fees, which was also to be used for the Happy Valley bypass road and/or Capital Improvement Program projects. She now sees that the status of the bypass road project is reflected as reserves being available for Council priorities. She asked what happened to the promise of these funds being kept for the Happy Valley area? Mr. Bocian stated that the City's Engineering Division, as a means of tracldng individual projects, assigns the Capital Improvement project numbers. He did not have an answer in terms of why a Capital Improvement Program number was not listed on this particular project, but his sense was that this project was not a part of the City's normal Capital Improvement Program process last year. Ms. Rossi said that the golf course bypass road was part of the mid year 2004 Capital Improvement Program, and, therefore, it does not show in the mid-term 2005 because it is already funded. The golf course bypass road is not a new project and there are no contributions to it in 2005. She noted that there were a number of Capital Improvement program projects that had multiple project numbers and staff consolidated many projects. She recalled that Council had this discussion as part of the mid year Capital Improvement Program review to consolidate project numbers because it was confusing. She said that the golf course bypass road project number is 035006. Mr. Brozosky asked why the status of the golf course bypass road project reflected that this reserve is available for City Council priorities? Mr. Bocian said that the intent was for priorities related to the bypass road. The $1 million dollars is for the bypass road. He pointed out that the funds for the Happy Valley bypass road are a reserve and Council may want to use the funds for various needs related to that road. Howard Neely, 448 Amador, on behalf of the members of the Cemetery ad-hoc Committee, asked Council to consider providing funds to start a nonprofit group that would work with the City for improvements related to the Pleasanton Memorial Gardens Cemetery.
