Mr. Ikbal, City Engineer, continued with the updates (presentation on file) to the community, which included Woodside Road Landscape Improvements; Redwood Creek Channel; program funding; Gateways (sign) Replacement; various buildings and facilities; parks and streetscapes, including Roosevelt Street Phase III; the storm drainage system; Redwood Shores Lagoon Dredging; the Water Fund and Program; Sewer Fund and Program; Transportation Program; Streets - Slurry Seal Project; and Streetscapes. One Council Member requested that staff provide an update to the community about the Roosevelt Street Phase III undergrounding district in the near future. One Council Member wanted to see a map of the Redwood Creek and consider co-locations when looking at water tanks and other possible uses for the space, such as park use. In response to a question about the best location of the City's southern gateway sign, Mr. Ekern explained that the current location is the best site given Caltrans requirements. Vice Mayor Gee said it is healthy to look at different fund sources and asked staff to provide a letter grade on the condition of the infrastructure. Mr. Ekern opined that the City's infrastructure is good, in relation to other systems in the Bay Area, and it is at least a "B" level. Another Council Member thanked the voters for approving the infrastructure revenue source through the Utility Users tax measure that got passed. Mr. Shobuz said this is a very robust program with good infrastructure. CITY COUNCIL April 22, 2013 MEETING MINUTES PAGE 10
