March 9, 2009 Item No. 7D <br />Page 5 <br />Area C – Status <br />The preliminary survey work is complete for Area C. The next step in its project <br />development would be to authorize preparation of a feasibility report. The report <br />would involve identifying the improvements to be made, including utility work and <br />any other items particular to this area, as well as performing detailed preliminary <br />cost estimates for the project. Once the report was complete, a neighborhood <br />meeting would be held with all property owners within Area C to review the <br />findings of the report and gather feedback. Assuming the meeting was <br />successful, the City Council would then hold a public hearing and consider <br />officially ordering the project. <br />From the above discussion it can be seen that once the feasibility report is <br />completed, Area C would be at the same point in its development as Area B, and <br />they could proceed with a joint project schedule. A combined neighborhood <br />meeting could be held to review the findings of both reports. Similarly, a public <br />hearing could be held on the combined Areas, with a combined project officially <br />being ordered. <br />Staff is confident that the feasibility report for Area C could be completed in time <br />to allow combining of the projects for Areas B and C while maintaining a <br />construction schedule for 2010. A proposed preliminary project schedule is <br />shown below: <br />Preliminary Project Schedule – Combined Areas B & C <br />Feasibility Report ordered – Area B (f.k.a. 2005 SUIP)Oct. 13, 2003 <br />Report completed, Public Hearing held – Area B Mar. 14, 2005 <br />Petition in opposition to Area B upheld May 9, 2005 <br />Preliminary survey – Area C Fall 2008 <br />Feasibility Report ordered – Area C Mar. 9, 2009 <br />Feasibility Report completed – Area C May 15, 2009 <br />Neighborhood meeting – Combined Areas B & C June 2, 2009 <br />Public Hearing, approve Reports, order combined project June 8, 2009 <br />Approve plans and specifications – combined project Dec. 7, 2009 <br />Bid opening – combined project Jan. 28, 2010 <br />Begin construction May 2010
