CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
AGENDA REPORT
City Manager Approval:
Item to be presented by:
DATE: August 24, 1999
SUBJECT: STAFFING ADDITION
RESOLUTION NO. 99-150
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt Resolution No. 99-150, providing for the addition of one full-time permanent
staff position in the Engineering Division of the Transportation & Engineering Services
Department.
BACKGROUND
The City strives to provide an ever -improving quality of life to our residents. As identified by
the City's latest strategic planning effort, Share the Vision III, one of the issues of greatest
concerns to residents is infrastructure, primarily road construction.
In an effort to respond to community needs for more roads, the City is involved in the
construction of Golden Valley Road, a new road that will extend from Sierra Highway north for
approximately one mile, to just past the future extension of Via Princessa. Another segment
of Golden Valley Road, from approximately Via Princessa to Golden Triangle Road, is currently
being designed by a developer, and will also begin construction in the near future. In addition,
there are several future roads in this area outlined in the City's General Plan.
The tremendous size, complexity, and required schedules of these projects and the impact the
projects will have on the City will require additional higher-level staff resources to meet the
required time frames.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Do not approve the addition of a staff position to the Transportation & Engineering Services
Department. However, this may cause delay to the existing Golden Valley Road projects
and will impact other existing capital improvement projects throughout the City.
2. Retain additional outside consultant services.
3. Other action as determined by the City Council.
