City Engineer Rudy Rosas spoke regarding community outreach efforts and project <br />completion. <br />Mayor Amezcua asked what efforts are being made to mitigate the impact to the <br />community, specifically the effects of dust on homes in the area. <br />City Engineer Rosas shared the measures that are in place to minimize and <br />suppress dust at construction sites that are conducted both by City staff and the <br />contracted company. <br />Mayor Amezcua asked whether the contract for the project stipulates whether or <br />not the contractor can be removed from the project if deadlines are not met by the <br />contractor. <br />City Engineer Rosas explained that the contract lists a liquid damage amount of <br />$11,420 that can be assessed for each day the project exceeds the agreed upon <br />deadline and that staff works closely with the City Attorney's Office in those <br />instances. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Vazquez spoke in support of designating the new greenspaces as <br />parks to allow for more structure, and suggested redesignating the existing <br />greenspaces on Bristol Street as parks. <br />Councilmember Penaloza suggested that, given the size and scope of the project, <br />notices be provided further than the 1000 feet project radius, and asked whether <br />the community could expect to experience black -out periods during the removal <br />and installation of electrical components. <br />City Manager Alvaro Nunez explained that Edison will likely install temporary power <br />lines to mitigate power disruptions. <br />Councilmember Penaloza expressed the importance for staff and the contractor to <br />mitigate the impact of dust on the homes in the area and asked whether the sound <br />walls would mirror the existing walls on Bristol and whether the bike lanes would <br />be landscaped. <br />City Engineer Rosas spoke regarding the sound wall and protected bike lanes. <br />Councilmember Penaloza shared his hopes that Bristol would look appealing to <br />both residents and non-residents, and that the project would be conducted properly <br />and quickly. <br />Councilmember Phan spoke in support of the project, suggested notification to <br />residents through means other than mailers, expressed the importance of having a <br />bikeable and walkable city, and requested periodic updates on the project at future <br />meetings. <br />CITY COUNCIL 12 MARCH 4, 2025 <br />City Council 5 — 12 3/18/2025 <br />
