AWARD OF ABALONE COVE Mary Thomas presented the
SHORELINE PARK - AWARD staff report of February 20,
OF CONTRACT (1801) 1990 and requested that the
Redevelopment Agency consider
the Negative Declaration before awarding the contract for
development of Abalone Cove Shoreline Park.
The Agency Attorney clarified the CEQA guidelines required
to be considered by the Agency in awarding the contract for
the development of this Shoreline Park.
Board members then made the following inquiries: how this
project differed from the one originally approved in April
1989; the source of funding for this project; and, why the
original estimate was 20% off.
Responding to the Board' s inquiry was the staff coordinator
on this project, Walter Warriner, who explained the cost
increases: installation of a left turn lane into the
facility: and, the additional electrical work required.
The Agency resumed discussion and concern was expressed if
this project was still considered to be premature in light of
the work of the Redevelopment Agency; how this park meshed
with the work being done by the Abalone Cove Landslide
Abatement District; whether these plans of the Park plans
were available for viewing; and, if necessary, the impact of
delaying the awarding of this contract for a few weeks.
Member McTaggart moved, seconded by Member Hinchliffe that
award of this contract be delayed and that staff present
the necessary back-up material and plans of the project at
the next Agency meeting. The motion carried on a 4-1 vote
with Member Bacharach voting in opposition.
STATUS OF BOARD DIRECTIVES The Agency requested that an
item regarding efforts with
the State for port mitigation
