(Planning, Building and Transportation 481005)
for the Clement extension improvements by one year and authorize the city manager to grant an additional one year extension without further action by the City Council. Our Planning Board. Thank you, Madam. Kirk and I. I said to Assistant City Manager Jerry Bowden that he is actually sitting in for the city manager. This staff report is going to be presented by planning, building and Transportation Director Andrew Thomas. Welcome back, Mr. Thomas. Thank you, Mayor Ashcraft. Given the late hour, I will just say this is an introduction of an ordinance to do a rather minor amendment to a existing development agreement to give the developers of the Del Monte building a little bit more time. The good news is, after much delay, this project is under construction. The Clement Avenue extension is under construction. The original development agreement had a requirement that it be done by the end of this calendar year, and they won't have it done because of the delays. On getting the project started. And then with COVID, if all keeps going well as it has been, they'll be done by the middle of next year. So to avoid going into a default situation, we are recommending an extension of the deadline from the end of this calendar year to the end of next calendar year. They will be providing monthly updates as they go along. So if they foresee any problems, we will get early warning of that. With that, I'm available to answer any questions. We also have representatives from the development team here. If you have any questions for them. Include right there. Thank you, Mr. Thomas. Now, do we have public figures on this item? We do not have any public comment. Okay. So council with any a close public comment. So it's open to the council. Councilmember Ody. I just have a quick question. I know the motion says to authorize the city manager, given that he's recusing himself from this, do we need to change that at all or is it fine to leave it as is? And usually I'm just looking at the usually. Says his or her designate. But yeah, you're right. I think that's a that's a good way of looking at it. If it will. Only make that change, we can make that change. If you direct that change, we can have it adjusted for the second reading. Okay. Yeah. And approval of the item then. Thank you. And I think the city attorney is nodding his head that this is not a material change. So this qualifies as a first reading. Okay. Councilmember Already you've moved approval. Councilmember Like that. Question. Questions. Question two staff. The staff report indicates that the. The entity is. It could potentially finish the project August of next year. So if that's the case, why then go to the end of the year? Well, we. They're not the whole project is the comment avenue. Yeah. Just like I meant. Our thought was this. If there is a delay, you know, there there's multiple parties here and other outside agencies, East Bay Mud, who are still involved in the project. So, you know, we thought rather than, you know, having to come back to the I mean, we had to come back to the planning board and then the council for another extension. It would be good to just give them till the end of the year. That was the only thinking on that. Okay. And I would just add to my observation that we just learned yesterday that we're about to go into the most restrictive tier of the states blueprint. For. A healthy economy reopening. And so I'm hoping that this COVID trajectory flattens in our state, in our county, and doesn't impact things like construction projects. But we don't we don't know at this point. We're going to do our best to not let that happen. I think one year. I think that's another reason, a one year extension because of the other hands, other council members. So it's been moved by councilmember only. Do I have the second vice mayor next. Wait a second. Okay. All right. So with that modification that was noted about the city manager's designee, it's been moved by Councilmember Otis, seconded by vice mayor. That's what you two have been the motion team this evening, I would say, and make it a prize at the end of the night. So we have the roll call vote please. I'm so everyday sag. All right. Next. Right. All right Odie. I. Avella I may or as the Ashcroft fight that carries by five. I thank you. Thank you, everybody. Thank you, Mr. Thomas. It's very nice to see you. Mr. O'Hara will see your name in this. Well, all right. We are moving on with all deliberate speed to item six F and so I just need someone to ask for the eight. But first, I need the city clerk to introduce the item public. Five to consider adoption of resolution, adopting a medicated dignity declaration and a mitigation monitoring and reporting program.
