Association has previously worked with the Church for the potential of developing the <br />land but it fell through. <br /> <br /> Mr. Fialho indicated that this would be a separate discussion if this was <br />something the Council was interested in pursuing and financing. He believed that this <br />matter should be made part of the Parks Master Plan process that the City is currently <br />undertaking as part of the General Plan process, and that responsibility is currently <br />assigned to the Parks and Recreation Commission. <br /> <br /> David Hartman, Teacher at Lydiksen School, addressed the Council regarding <br />the Alviso Adobe Community Park. Mr. Hartman understood the City's financial <br />concerns but believed the Alviso Adobe Community Park could still be developed in <br />some type of flexible manner. He also believes the Alviso Adobe Community Park <br />could be a historical landmark. <br /> <br /> Mr. Fialho stated that the City has $2.9 million dollars set aside and a decision <br />has not been made as to whether the Alviso Adobe Community Park project will <br />proceed or be removed from authorized Council projects. He would like to bring the <br />entire Alviso Adobe project before Council to understand what is on the hillside and <br />what the projected costs are and for Council to make a policy decision. At this point, no <br />additional funds have been recommended nor has the project been removed from the <br />Council priorities. <br /> <br /> Mayor Hosterman closed the meeting open to the public. <br /> <br /> Mayor Hosterman asked for questions regarding the CIP from councilmembers. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky requested a breakdown of all CIP projects with a listing of the <br />current dollar amounts, what amounts would be added as well as the projected costs. <br /> <br /> Mr. Bocian said staff would prepare a table that would cover all of the major <br />projects. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky questioned the Kottinger Park project and asked why the Housing <br />Commission wanted the project removed from the CIP, and whether this project was <br />related to affordable housing. <br /> <br /> Mr. Bocian said there is nothing in the project that affects affordable housing and <br />it was the Housing Commission's viewpoint to put the money to better use. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky asked at what point would the Firehouse Arts Center come back to <br />Council for its review. <br /> <br /> Mr. Fialho said this discussion would occur sometime in September, as the <br />estimated costs of construction will be about $3 million over budget if the City goes with <br />what the Committee has developed so far. Detail conversations need to be held as to <br />what staff recommends versus the Committee's recommendations, and then staff needs <br />to receive direction from Council in terms of how to proceed with the Firehouse Arts <br />Center. <br /> <br />City Council Workshop <br /> 14 06/08/05 <br /> <br /> <br />
