269 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM (pp. 81-86) Mr. Fales called attention to an error on pg. 84, and to the memo- randum dated June 9, 1980 from the Director of Finance to show the correct information. MUNICIPAL SUPPORT FACILITIES imo Mr. Fales reviewed each of the four projects and commented that after relocation of the headquarters fire station at the Munici- pal Services Center, Fire Station No. 1 will be used for offices for the City Attorney, Finance and possibly other offices, and estimated three to five years to complete the program, LEISURE AND CULTURAL FACILITIES Mr. Fales noted that Phases 2 and 3 of Canyon Park were not in- cluded this year, and that the projects listed are existing parks; that Dickey Street Parking area reconstruction pre-dated Canyon Park but had never been done. Mr. Griffiths advised that Stafford and Mezes Parks are in the Capital Improvements budget because very little has been done with them, and plans are to move the play areas away from the street and renovate the restrooms. John Clark, representing the Park and Recreation Commission, urged consideration of Canyon Park in this budget, displayed a drawing of their concept of what Canyon Park will look like when developed, and explained the Commission's reasons for putting that park as their top priority project, that there is need for a park in that area, and urged inclusion of Phase II P°"" Canyon Park in the budget. Discussion followed regarding whether funds could be found for Canyon Park; whether the tax- payers of the City should pay for a park for the residents of the Emerald Hills area; that parks the City builds and main- tains should be for the use of its citizens; that prior to the public hearing staff is to review and report back to Council on July 14. TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM FACILITIES In response to question, Mr. Addiego advised that the Veterans Boulevard project will include Jefferson Avenue and utilities will be undergrounded. Further discussion related to land- scaping El Camino Real , that there is a domestic water supply problem, that a large part of the $86,600 will be used for electrical installation and cut out areas for future land- scaping, that the City was forced by the State to do the medians their way; that the State will be doing their final study, and there is no point in landscaping until there is assurance the State accepts the highway; that in neighboring cities with the same problem , the medians were filled in and capped with land- scaping, that it would be possible to lay pvc pipe for a water supply on top of the asphalt. Mr. Fales advised that if it is possible to obtain figures by July 14 of how much more this (:: would cost he will do so.
