RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:
In November the City Council approved the acquisition of property on South
Street at the corner of Beebee Street from Mary Silva. Mrs. Silva and the City
are now progressing through escrow. This project will construct the public
improvements and a low retaining wall and fence in front of Mrs. Silva's
property.
Widening this parcel will improve visibility and safety for motorists
northbound on Beebee Street crossing or entering South Street. Together with
the 1911 Act improvement for the McCarthy Tank and Steel property, construction
will also provide a continuous sidewalk along the south side of South Street
between Beebee and Broad Streets.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This acquisition is part of the South Street Widening (Higuera-Beebee) project
listed in the CIP on page E-12 of the 1987-1989 Financial Plan. $80,000.00 was
allocated for street widening between Parker and a point east of Beebee.
Approximately $25,000.00 has been encumbered for the acquisition, leaving
$55,000.00 for the street improvements.
The estimated costs are as follows:
Base Bid: $33,472.00
Contingencies: 2,528.00
Total: $36, 000.00
This project has been given an EIR clearance by the Community Development
Department. Status: Negative Declaration.
