RESOLUTION 1106 APPROPRIATING FUNDS, ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR STREET IMPROVEMENTS ALONG BAY BOULEVARD FROM G STREET TO J STREET IN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA, CA On June 20, 1990, the Director of Public Works received sealed bids for street improvements along Bay Boulevard from G Street to J Street. The work includes installation of new curb, gutter, and sidewalk; asphalt pavement; street lights; and other miscellaneous items of work. It was recommended that the Agency appropriate $50,993; accept bids and award contract to Caves Construction of Chula Vista in the amount of $246,204.50; and delay the improvement of the four Agency-owned parcels until their development. Chairman Cox reported there would be an additional cost of $25,000 to include the improvements on the four parcels on Bay Boulevard owned by the Redevelopment Agency. Because that property will be marketed fairly soon, he would like to see the Agency approve the contract and include the cost of the improvements for the Agency-owned parcels. He would further like to see the cost involved in improving these parcels be recouped in the future sale of the property. Member Malcolm stated he does not believe the Agency should include the improvements of the four Agency-owned parcels. Because it is not known what kind of development will occur and what type of improvements will be required by that development, he does not see the financial benefit for the Agency to expend the funds today on something that may be necessary to take out. Redevelopment Aqenc¥ Minutes -3- Auqust 2r 1990 Chairman Cox suggested that there be a requirement that the improvements be put in within a reasonable time period as a condition of sale of the property. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY CHAIRMAN COX, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent, passed, and was approved unanimously. 5. RESOLUTION 1107 APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH P & D TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE COMPLETION OF AN EIR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN AUTO PARK ON OTAY VALLEY ROAD AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR A contra~t was awarded on March 6, 1989 to P & D Technologies for the preparation of an EIR for development of an auto park on the south side of Otay Valley Road, east of 1-805 within the Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Project Area. A checkprint EIR was completed and submitted to the City for review. However, work on the EIR was stopped at that point since the focus of the location of the auto park shifted to another site on East H Street. Consequently, the EIR was never completed. At this time the Agency is still considering Otay Valley Road as an alternative location for the auto park and has directed that the EIR be completed. It was recommended that the Agency adopt the resolution. Responding to questions of Member Nader, Agency Attorney Boogaard stated that Member Nader would be permitted to participate in the voting on this item by virtue of the rule of legally required participation if an evidenciary basis for the operation of the rule is placed in the record. Mr. Boogaard stated it is understood that there is an emergency and a likelihood that four affirmative votes cannot be collected in the next several weeks. Mr. Salomone stated it has come to the attention of staff that it will not be possible to obtain a 4/5ths vote absent Member Nader's vote for several weeks. It is staff's opinion that delaying approval of this item for 4 - 5 weeks would not be in the best interest of the Agency. Mr. Boogaard stated that it is his opinion that the rule of legally required participation will permit Member Nader to participate in the deliberation in voting on this matter. RESOLUTION OFFERED BY CHAIRMAN COX, the reading of the text was waived by unanimous consent. Responding to questions of Member Nader, Environmental Review Coordinator Reid stated the EIR and Scope of Work would address Redevelopment Aqenc¥ Minutes -4- Auqust 2~ 1990 other land uses on the site including a power center. In addition, it would include approximately 9 off-site alternatives.
