On April 23, 1981 the Board of Tr stees for the district approved participation. The agreement was signed by th district's business manager on July 12, 1982. It is therefore appropriate fo the City Council to approve this agreement. It is my RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the resolution approving the ag Bement. DISCUSSION: Th history which has led up to the execution of the attached agreement by the Sw etwater Union High School District has been long and complicated. During th summer of 1976 the City Council directed staff to work with the School Di trict to develop an agreement for the construction of Telegraph Canyon Road ad scent to Hilltop Junior High School. Du ing the past six years the matter of constructing the improvements has been be ore the Council a number of times including several joint meetings between th School Board and Council where it was discussed. On November 18, 1980, th City Council authorized me to submit a formal request to the School Di trict. Through the efforts of the Council, School Board and respective st ffs the attached agreement was executed by the School District on July 12, 19 2. Th purpose of the project is to install needed improvements along the north si a of Telegraph Canyon Road for pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles ad scent to Hilltop Junior High School. The installation of these im rovements will reduce the number of accidents along this segment. Th co st co co agreement states that the City and School District agree to participate in installation of improvements along the north half of Telegraph Canyon Road m Hilltop Drive to approximately 1260 feet easterly. The improvements list of 22 feet of pavement (includes bike lane), curb, gutter, sidewalk, a Bet light, grading and excavation and the landscaping on the slopes structed. The school district will pay one half of the cost of struction for the improvements along their frontage up to an amount not to Bed $50,000. /~-~/©959 Page 2, Item 12 Meeting Date 7/27/82 Th School District may elect to pay its share in five yearly increments. The in Brest rate on the deferred payments is 8 percent. The School District will de icate any needed right-of-way and will maintain the landscaped slopes on th it property. Th City will design and prepare the plans and specifications and provide all in pection and contract management services. The City will also provide for re ocation of utilities and will accept the improvements for maintenance. In the 1981-82 Budgeted C.I.P. X241,000 was budgeted for the widening of Te egraph Canyon Road from Hilltop Drive to Melrose Avenue. This project will pr vide enough pavement for 2 travel lanes, 2 bike lanes, curb, gutter and si ewalk along the north side of the street. P1 ns are currently in the drafting stage and could be completed within 2-3 mo ths. Actual construction of the total project will depend upon resolution of a right-of-way problem which may take longer. FISCAL IMPACT: The City may have to front the funds for the school di rict's portion if they elect to defer payment over a five year period.
