On Thursday, the council will hold public hearings to consider partial abandonment of Spruce and Armijo avenue north of 18th and a development agreement for a commercial cannabis operation located at 2250 Ogulin Canyon Road.
Under business, council members will discuss mandatory water allocations and other drought mitigation measures ordered by the state — especially for urban water suppliers — and give direction to staff.
The council also will hold a new first reading of an ordinance relating to traffic and parking regulations and consider authorizing the city manager to execute a contract to exceed $450,000 with BKF Engineering for the Lakeshore Drive design.
Staff also will ask the council to consider execute nine on-call consulting contracts, not to exceed $200,000 per contract over a five-year period, in order “to create efficiency, provide for enough consultant capacity, and prepare for upcoming projects such as Measure V Roads projects,” according to Finance Director Kelcey Young’s report.
Young said the contracts are being awarded to the following consultants: California Engineering Co, Borelli & Associates, REY Engineers, LACO Associates, TJKM, Tall Tree Engineering, Green Valley Consulting Engineers, Studio W Architects and RSA.
The council also will award the 2022 chip seal project, adopt updates to the management classification and benefits plan and appoint a council member and up to two alternates as voting delegates for the League of California Cities annual conference in September.
