CIP No. 038023. (SR 06:073) Rob Wilson presented the staff report. Councilmember Thorne questioned staff whether this project has had the same standards applied that are normally used in neighborhoods for obtaining information from residents downstream. Mr. Wilson responded the City has worked closely with the "Friends of Kottinger Creek" in designing the project. Staff provided notice of pubic meetings. Areas of the City that were not affected by the design were not notified. Mr. Thorne stated he was not convinced the City had done all that is needed to get the approval of the project by all affected neighborhoods. Mr. Wilson responded notification was not provided to residents down below beyond Second Street. He stated Kottinger Drive residents who are downstream of the project, have been very involved. He has received concerns about the potential for flooding. Mr. Thorne asked what the process would be once the bids were received for the project. Mr. Wilson responded once the cost of the project was determined, the available funding Council has placed in the capital improvement plan will be reviewed. A decision would be made on what phases would be built based on funding. He further stated that if the bids are favorable staff may recommend doing the entire project. If the bids are not favorable, staff would present a funding plan and options for portions of the project. Pleasanton City Council Minutes 8 03/21/06
