SUBJECT:
Approval of Projects for City's $850 Million Proposed 2017 - 2022 Bond Program
SUMMARY:
An Ordinance authorizing approval of a final list of $830 million in capital improvement projects for the City's proposed $850 million 2017 - 2022 General Obligation Bond Program. On December 15, 2016, City Council approved a Resolution making the necessary prerequisite declaration of approving 13 areas to be included in a City Council approved Urban Renewal Plan associated with the proposed 2017 Bond Program Neighborhood Improvements proposition. The proposed $20 million in Neighborhood Improvements is one component of the proposed $850 million Bond Program.
The Community Bond Committee recommendations were developed within a two-month long public input process that included 30 meetings consisting of 25 public Community Bond Meetings and five Community Bond Tours. During this public input process, more than 1,400 residents were in attendance at the meetings and 350 resident comments were received by the Committees during the "Citizens to be Heard" portion of the meetings.
The final list of recommended projects totaling $830 million was developed, in large part, with community input received through the Community Bond Committees appointed by the City Council to serve in an advisory capacity in the development of the City's Proposed 2017 - 2022 General Obligation Bond Program. During the January 11, 2017 City Council "B" Session, Streets, Bridges & Sidewalks, Drainage & Flood Control, Parks & Recreation and Facilities Community Committees presented their project recommendations totaling $830 million to the City Council for their consideration.
