Bay Area Boulevard Public Works Director Steve Gillett provided Corporation Members with an overview and answered questions. Mr. Gillett noted that the delay on the Bay Area Boulevard project is due to legal reviews by PPG' s attorney. Due to operational constraints, the scheduled adjustment of pipelines will be delayed until early summer if the County does not receive recorded deeds for all right-of-way and easements by February. PPG is donating right-of-way and easements for the roadway, drainage outfall and trunk sewer. The City will participate and split the cost by paying 50%, or up to $4,053,500 for roadway and drainage construction. All cost associated with construction of the trunk sanitary sewer will be paid by the City. b. Canada Road The County has indicated that it will participate up to 50%; or $1,750,000. The City does not have an agreement with them yet. The County will not participate in the utility portion of the Canada Road project. There are some pipeline and HL&P adjustments that have to be completed. The city is in the process of obtaining estimates for adjustment costs. When completed, the City Council will consider agreements for adjustment. Adjacent property owners have donated all right-of- way for the southern portion of the Project. One small tract remains to be acquired for the northern stretch. Final design for roadway, drainage, signals and utilities is underway.
