c. Unfunded Projects Appropriation Report (Public Works)

Steve McChesney, Public Works gave a brief overview of the report.

The Committee member asked for overhead information for the ADA Compliance project.

Steve stated that he would distribute that information to all of the Councilmembers after the meeting.

Councilmember Reed stated that he did not think that the Berryessa Public Art Project would ever happen. He asked if it would be removed from future reports.

Steve answered that the charges for the Berryessa Public Art Project were made at the beginning of last fiscal year and there have been no charges since. He stated that the project will be charged to the General Fund at the end of the fiscal year and will not appear on any future reports.

Chair Dando asked for clarification of the City Attorney’s Office “various requests” for Sierra Road.

Steve replied that the Real Estate Division told him that this was Attorney/Client privileged information because it could be involved in litigation.

Upon motion of Councilmember Reed, seconded by Councilmember Diquisto, the Committee accepted the staff report.
