Eldon Luce, representing the 504 Committee, Executive Director of the Center for Independence of the Disabled, agreed with Mr. La Torra regarding limited access at Stulsaft Park at this time. Mr. Luce advised Council that modifying City Hall to make it accessible was the Committee's top priority. Mr. Luce stated he had been advised that this project would take place "next year" for many years now, and asked Council to act now, use the $600,000, and provide access for the disabled to City Hall parking, City services, City Hall itself, and City hall bath rooms. In response to Council questions, Building Official La Torra advised the $600,000 was on the low side, and without Council direction it was almost impossible to provide an estimate of ADA modifications or City hall remodeling. Councilman Greenalch advised that the City must comply with the ADA law, and if remodeling of City Hall is not planned to happen within five or six years, then staff should act now and City Hall should be made accessible this coming year. City Manager Everett advised that the Facilities Committee and the 504 Committee were planning to meet after the budget process, and the further out a new City Hall or City Hall remodeling is scheduled the more money should be spent for ADA improvements now; but if remodeling is scheduled in the near future, then less money should be spent on ADA modifications. City Engineer Luck described the proposed capital improvements for Rolison Road and the difficulties of bringing power out to the Road; the proposed lagoon improvements; levee projects and the Army Corps of Engineers permit; Sandpiper Park, school, library and community center; Marlin Park funding; and whether to increase the Facilities Fee, In response to Council questions, City Engineer Luck advised the traffic signal project at Redwood Shores Parkway and Twin Dolphin Drive would be completed in one month; the effects of the drought, continued maintenance and funding on the completion of parks in Redwood Shores; the effects of the poor economy on facilities fees revenues. Parks, Recreation and Community Services Director Griffiths provided an update on the school/library/community centerlpark project with the Belmont School District in Redwood Shores. Director Griffiths advised money for acquisition of the land for this project is not in the budget. If money was to be expended, Council would have to approve the expenditure at a later date. CONSENSUS: It was determined by Mayor Buchan that it was the consensus of the Council to give conceptual approval of the proposed C.I.P. FY 1993-94 budget as presented in the subject document.
