ON THE AGENDA
FAIRVIEW PARK
Council members tonight will consider transferring the periodic
review of the Fairview Park Master Plan to the parks and recreation
commission.
At the Dec. 16 meeting, the City Council evaluated the annual
report on the city’s large and rugged park. It was then that council
members suggested the future review by their appointed parks
commissioners.
To formally transfer the responsibility, the council must revise a
section of the City Council policy to reflect the change.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Council members are expected to delegate the assessment of
Fairview Park to the Parks and Recreation Commission.
SIGNAL IMPROVEMENTS
The city’s transportation department is requesting the council
approve a $29,566 contract to upgrade the design of traffic signals
along Newport Boulevard and Bristol Street.
The project is split into three segments and will be paid for
largely by Measure M funds from the Orange County Transportation
Authority. the city’s share of the entire project is $65,000.
The design phase, which is up for approval tonight, consists of
hiring a consultant to plan, specify and estimate the cost of various
traffic signal hardware upgrades at four intersections.
Transportation officials recommend hiring Parsons Transportation
Group for the design work. The anticipated upgrades will enable the
traffic signal systems to interface with the city’s master signal
network.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The City Council is expected to approve the contract.
BOULEVARD BANNERS
The City Council is looking to decide on a banner design for
various businesses along the northbound side Newport Boulevard
between 19th Street and Mesa Drive.
One of the council’s community objectives calls for 46 street
banner to be installed along that strip of the major thoroughfare. In
November, business owners along the street were asked to comment on
three proposed designs and the Cultural Arts Committee reviewed their
input. The committee recommended the second place choice, with some
minor changes.
It will cost $12,400 to design the selected banner.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Council members are expected to follow the recommendation of the
Cultural Arts Committee.
