Based on staff's <br />assessment, an immediate infusion of funds to rebuild the City's <br />neighborhood streets will enhance the City's ability to improve these <br />streets as well as implement a long-term preventive maintenance program. <br />To achieve this goal, staff is in the process of finalizing bonds that <br />will infuse approximately $60 million into the neighborhood street <br />improvement initiative. <br />In anticipation of bond closing that is scheduled for the latter part of <br />December, and in consideration of the significant increase in workload <br />over the next several years, the Public Works Agency is requesting the <br />addition of two Assistant Engineer II positions and one Construction <br />Inspector II position. The positions will provide much needed assistance <br />in the design and inspection of the various projects under the <br />Neighborhood Street Initiative. <br />55B-1 <br />
