ITEM 1 1999/2000 BUDGET & CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM —
George Caravalho, City Manager, provided an overview of the
proposed budget, the capital improvement program for fiscal year
1999/2000 and the pavement management system. He introduced
Management Analysts Ken Striplin and Elena Galvez and
Supervising Engineer Chris Price. Mr. Striplin outlined the proposed
budget including the anticipated schedule; goals; general fund
revenues, expenditures and reserves; and highlights for each
department. Ms. Galvez outlined the proposed capital improvement
program including changes from the last fiscal year; funding sources;
and project categories and locations. Mr. Price outlined the pavement
management system including steps in the program; findings by
Harris & Associates; examples of existing conditions and distributed a
map showing the pavement condition index.
Council questions and concerns: moving more expeditiously on road
connections for Wiley Canyon, Magic Mountain and San Fernando;
focusing on center city roads to help current residents; having a lead
agency for the arts to coordinate the facilities and develop guidelines;
needing good scheduling so shows won't detract from what's going on
in Newhall; pursuing a sphere of influence with efforts similar to that
for the All America City award; checking into the purchase of a steam
cleaning machine for sidewalks throughout the City; and the status of
synchronizing traffic signals throughout the City.
Mr. Caravalho indicated items that would return to Council for
further discussion included the central road network; including money
in the budget for lobbying efforts for the sphere of influence; the
College of the Canyons proposal for a performing arts center; and the
possible purchase of a steam cleaner.
Mayor Darcy called for Public Participation. Harry Gratz and Warren Johnson
spoke regarding a veteran's memorial.
Ken Pulskamp, Assistant City Manager, indicated information would be brought
back to Council regarding the full cost for a veteran's memorial.
Motion by Heidt, second by Weste to adjourn the meeting at 7:35 p.m. Hearing no
objections, it was so ordered.
