AGENDA REPORT ;
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Tom Kruse, Parks and Recreation Director
Prepared by: Allen Walter, Landscape & Parks Superintendent
DATE: October 20, 2009 (CC Meeting of November 4, 2009)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Amending the Fiscal Year 2009/10 Budget
to Allocate Additional Funds for Campus Park Parkway
Planting
DISCUSSION
In January 2005, severe rains caused flooding on Campus Park Drive from Cambridge
Street to Princeton Avenue. The large volume of water began at Rustic Canyon Golf
Course, at the west end of Campus Park Drive, and streamed down Campus Park
Drive. The extreme volume and current of the water washed out all plant material
including several trees in the parkway on the south side of Campus Park Drive, between
Cambridge Street and Princeton Avenue.
The unexpected flooding damage to the Campus Park Drive parkway had not been
budgeted for; however, $6,000 was received in flood damage compensation from
FEMA, which provided for removal of deposited silt, rocks, debris, and damaged plant
material on Campus Park Drive roadway and parkway after the flooding subsided. The
remaining balance of flood damage funds repaired the irrigation system to the parkway.
With the Campus Park Drive parkway, between Princeton Avenue and Cambridge
Street, remaining tree and shrub replacement alternative funding options were explored.
Staff attempted to secure funding through state funded TEA 21 grant funds as part of
the Caltrans regional transportation enhancement grant project in an effort to replace
the damaged landscape and irrigation in the parkway along the west side of Campus
Park Drive, from Princeton to Cambridge Street. After negotiating with Caltrans for two
years, the final determination prevented funds replacing irrigation, groundcover, or
bushes, only trees. Notification of Caltrans decision came after the timeline for grant
funds lapsed.

Staff then evaluated using funds from the Citywide Landscape District (84-2), but the
budget reserve funds were too low to accommodate the project.
The City's contract landscape services provider Venco Western has continued to
maintain the site trees and irrigation and has kept the parkway weed free.
The severe flooding of Campus Park Drive from Princeton Avenue to Cambridge Street
caused damage and removal of 30 trees leaving only 36 trees remaining. The flooding
also damaged over 700 shrubs that did not recover from the water, silt, and debris
carried by the fast moving floodwaters.
Staff is proposing to replant the parkway with 30 new Crepe Myrtle trees, 244
Raphiolepis, 243 Agapanthus, and 243 Fortnight Lily. All plant material will be provided
free of charge through the City's Lease Agreement with Boething Treeland Farms, Inc.,
charging only for labor and the cost for miscellaneous supplies (tree stakes, tree ties,
fertilizer, etc.) to conclude the project.
Staff solicited bid proposals to perform the work and received three responses:
Contractor Bid Price
Azteca Landscape Services $ 2,000.00
Metro Landscaping $ 4,362.50
Venco Landscape Services $ 4,429.84
The lowest qualified bidder is Azteca Landscape Services, one of the City's current
landscape maintenance contractors.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project was not included in the fiscal year 2009/10 adopted budget. Although the
area along Campus Park Drive, between Cambridge Street and Princeton Avenue, falls
within the City's Landscape Assessment District 84-2 Citywide Zone, staff is
recommending that the General Fund (1000) be used to finance the project. If
approved, it will require a budget amendment to increase the General Fund (1000)
appropriation by $2,500.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION ROLL CALL VOTE
Amend the FY 2009/10 budget to appropriate $2,500 from the General Fund, and adopt
Resolution No. 2009-_,
