I. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approving the bench locations in the attached exhibit.
II. BACKGROUND:
During previous meetings, council has asked staff to provide a location list for benches to be located around the City of Coalinga. Additionally, during the April 21st meeting, funding was allocated through ARPA to install ten (10) of the identified benches.
III. DISCUSSION:
Attached is a map of the identified locations for the first ten (10) benches. These represent an approximate location of the bench. The final location may vary slightly based on parameters unique to each location.
The timeframe in which the benches will be install will range from two to six months. This is based on a few different variables such as including obtaining the benches, scheduling their installation, and waiting for other projects to be completed prior.
The locations are identified on the attached map, and the numbers given in that exhibit correspond to this list:
- Phelps/Posa Chanet
- Monterey/Harvard
- Van Ness/Second
- Sunset/Birch
- Monterey/Madison
- Monterey/Polk
- Fifth/Polk
- W Elm
- Pacific/Forest
- Sandalwood/Juniper Ridge
Approval of this item approves the locations and costs associated with installing the ten benches.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
- Wait for verification of right of way prior to approval
- Reject bench installations
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
Each location has an installation price of $2,500. This includes the bench and pad required to facilitate the installation.
Given the 10 locations identified, the total project amount is estimated to be $25,000 which the Council previously approved as part of the ARPA fund expenditures. |
