    Capital Improvement Program follow-up

    Discussed

    Kate Werrett reviewed the remaining funding log items. Members discussed funding a new park restroom while a citywide restroom study is pending, reallocating money to plant more trees, possible savings from phasing Glendale Park sport court lighting (about $500,000 for pickleball or tennis courts), Glendale Park's roughly $2.8 million construction contingency on an estimated $45 to $50 million build, and bike racks. Straw polls: unanimous support for paying for a West Temple and Mead Avenue crosswalk with flashing beacons from the Vision Zero line; 5-2 to pause the $568,000 new restroom item and consider reallocating it (Dugan and Wharton opposed); and a separate poll to fully fund it failed 4-3 (for: Dugan, Carlsen, Petro, Wharton). Council Member Puy asked for the cost of the administration's planting of 1,000 trees on the westside.
