STATUS REPORT
CITY OFFICE BUILDING
Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. Staff report by Assistant City Manager
Riley. The report provides an overview of the progress on the construction and
budget for the City Office Building. It is estimated that the main building will be ready
for occupancy in late March, with projected completion (including Council
Chambers/Multi-Purpose Room) in late September 2004. Anton Greenville, Senior
Project Manager with douglas e. barn hart provided a brief PowerPoint presentation.
Council received and filed the report.
ITEM 4 (0820-10)
REPORT
POWAY ROAD & MINA DE ORO ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. This report is in response to public comments
expressed at the City Council meeting of December 16, 2003, by Allen Sterger,
regarding the timing for constructing left turn lane improvements at the intersection of
Poway Road and Mina De Oro Road. The improvements would provide a dedicated
left turn lane for eastbound traffic on Poway Road to turn northbound to Mina De Oro
Road, which also serves residents of Eucalyptus Heights Road.
Approximately five years ago, the City agreed to pay one half of the cost for
construction and improvements, the other half to be provided by the owners of those
parcels that use Mina De Oro Road for access. The pro rata share for each parcel
was determined to be $7,000 based on a potential ten parcels taking access off
Poway Road to the subject area. Mr. Sterger posted his pro rata share of $7,000 as a
condition of approval for development of a parcel he owns on Eucalyptus Heights
Road.
As of this date, $21,000 has been posted with the City. Development applications for
the remaining parcels have yet to be filed.
It is anticipated that when all funds are in place, the City will be able to provide a
construction schedule for the improvements. It is important to note that once the five-
year-old construction cost estimate of $150,000 is revised, it is likely that additional
funding will be required to complete the improvements.
