CityCouncil | 2008-07-15 | 3 | The Administration Management Analyst ADA Coordinator gave a brief presentation. Jim Fruit, Sally Swanson Architects, gave a Power Point presentation. Vice Mayor Tam stated that retrofitting costs are pretty daunting; requested confirmation of the total estimated cost. Mr. Fruit stated that costs cannot be nailed down to the penny because there are so many variables; an averaging was done; some costs may be underestimated but become closer to actual costs because of inflation. The Administration Management Analyst ADA Coordinator stated the Public Works Department set aside $250,000 each year for the next two years; future improvements would be based on when funding becomes available. Vice Mayor Tam stated that costs could add up to approximately $20 million by using today's dollar. The Administration Management Analyst ADA Coordinator stated the City is not required to spend a certain amount of money or complete a certain amount of work; the City needs to show the Department of Justice that consistent efforts are being made toward making improvements and removing barriers. Councilmember Matarrese stated an unfunded liability exists; it is important to know what the cost would be to completely comply today. The Administration Management Analyst ADA Coordinator stated the Transition Plan totals $29 million, which includes $9 million in concrete work and $20 million in public right-of-way work, which is based on a five-mile sample of one hundred and thirty miles. Councilmember Matarrese stated the public needs to know that the City would be cutting $29 million of unfunded liability. Mayor Johnson stated the Fiscal Sustainability Committee should take the matter into consideration. Councilmember deHaan inquired how priorities are set.
