Backaround In September of 2003, the City Council approved a new project to construct certain improvements at the Civic Center site to improve vehicular access. Project 8053 was established with a preliminary funding amount of $30,000. In November of 2003, the City Council approved the conceptual design for that project. B. Project Description The scope of the project includes: 1) the widening and re- striping of driveway onto Moorpark Avenue, to provide a left /thru lane plus a right -turn lane for egress traffic; and 2) the construction of site modifications to facilitate ingress and egress traffic between the west end of the Library parking lot and High Street, through the old Mobile Home park property. A diagram showing the proposed improvements is attached as Exhibit 1. C. Caltrans Permit Staff is in the process of obtaining a Caltrans permit for the work to be done at the Moorpark Avenue entry. That permit will be made a part of the bid documents. Civic center driveway 0402 000074 Civic Center Driveways February 18, 2004 Page 2 D. Plans and Specifications A review copy of the Plans and Specifications has been placed in the City Council Conference Room. E. Project Approval -- Design Immunity It is recommended below that the City Council approve the project plans and specifications in order to document City Council approval of the scope and design of the project. Such approval is also required for the purpose of establishing design immunity pursuant to Section 830.6 of the Government Code of the State of California. F. Schedule It is anticipated that bids for the project will be presented to the City Council on March 17 with construction to follow soon thereafter. In the view of staff, it is not necessary that the mobile home site be cleared before the subject improvements are constructed. If necessary the south driveway can be closed to through traffic should conflicts arise between the use of this driveway and the clearing of the property. G. Fiscal Impact 1.

It is the intent of staff to defer that action until the bid results are presented to the City Council.
