Information was passed on to City staff during the week of September 16th by CalTrans. In a meeting staff had with CalTrans on September 20th, staff was informed by the CalTrans Resident Engineer for this project that the contractor had submitted a schedule that reflected the contractor working 24 hours a day on this project. Because of this, Staff has requested a CalTrans representative come to the Council meeting to inform Council of the schedule and resulting impacts. With the approval of its budget the State approved a COPS Program. Funds form this program are to be apportioned according to population.
Funds are to supplement existing or add new law enforcement programs.
The Council has the discretion to allocate the funds after it has received the report of the Police Chief and conducted a Public Hearing. This process is to be separate from the normal budget procedure. By motion set a Public Hearing to consider the petition of the Police Chief relative to the COPS Program for October 23, 1996. The City and the Agency have an agreement between the two Entities that document the flow of funds. In August the Agency and City entered into a separate agreement with Furber Development.
