PT. VICENTE PARK - AWARD The City Manager presented the staff report of
OF BID (1201) March 3, 1983 recommending the following:
(1) Do not charge $173,225 (1979 -81 Parks and Recreation Fund and Public
Works staffing expenditures) against funding sources.
(2) Award bid to Century Landscape Contractors for the amount of $749,964.14
to construct Area IV, with Alternate 4.
(3) Direct staff to investigate design and installation of play equipment and
picnic tables in Area IV within the funds available.
(4) Approve Area IV budget in concept.
Council discussed estimates for the computer and play equipment, and the
feasibility of constructing two sites at the same time to speed up construction.
Fred Jackson, Chairman of Parks and Recreation Committee, commented on the
necessity of the Interpretive Center and if it warranted the proposed
expenditure. He thought Area I would be more useful.
Additional Council discussion concerned consideration of a more primitive
picnic area in Area I since such a concept would not entail the drainage
and grading plans.
A ten minute recess was called at 9:25 P.M.
Council then discussed if consideration should be given to a scaled -down
version of the Interpretive Center, elimination of the computer and video
components, the cost of this center versus the amount of use; if picnic,
barbecue, trails and parking facilities should be installed in Area I. It was
the consensus that no action was necessary on the $173,225 since it had
previously been spent from P &R fund monies.
After discussion of what areas Council felt appropriate to construct, Council-
woman Hein moved, seconded by Councilman Dyda to award bid to Century Landscape
Contractors for the amount of $749,964.14 to construct Area IV, with Alternate
4; direct staff to investigate design and installation of play equipment and
picnic tables in Area I within the funds available, and approve Area IV budget
in concept. The motion carried on a three - two vote with Councilwomen
Bacharach and Shaw voting in opposition.
PT. VICENTE PARK - 1983 LAND Director Hightower presented the staff memorandum
& WATER CONSERVATION GRANT of March 1, 1983 which recommended that Council
(1201) authorize making application for Federal funding
for park development.
After Council discussion, Councilwoman Hein moved, seconded by Councilman Dyda
and carried to authorize staff to prepare the 1983 Land and Water grant
application for Pt. Vicente Park, Area I.
1982 -83 AMENDED BUDGET & City Manager Guluzzy presented the staff
STAFF PRIORITIES (602) memorandum of February 15 which outlined the
maintenance administration costs for the newly
