Payment If approved, it is recommended that payment be made to the County of Ventura in the same manner described in the Agreement between the City and the County pertaining to the remainder of the work. Those provisions state that, upon award of contract, the City shall pay the full amount less ten percent, which shall be paid upon completion of the work and an accounting of all costs. It is the intent of staff to set forth these terms in a letter to the County. If necessary, an amendment to the Agreement will be prepared and presented to the Board of Supervisors and the City Council. As previously discussed, the primary use for this additional parking area would be for the Senior Center. It is recommended, therefore, that, if this project is approved, the funding come from either Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds "earmarked" for Senior facilities, or from the Moorpark Redevelopment Agency (MRA). If this work is approved, it will be necessary to amend the FY 1996/97 Budget to fund these expenditures. In such case staff will prepare and present a Resolution to the City Council in February. A final recommendation on the funding source will be provided at that time. Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions: 1. Approve the expansion of the Library parking as described in this report lot and authorize an advance payment to the County of Ventura, as defined herein, for said work; lib?
