First Review of Recommended Neighborhood Improvement Program (NIP) Projects for FY 2014/2015 ***NIP*** (Plans & Public Works - 406-03) Action: Declined to fund the David Avenue open space project and provided guidance that they agreed with the other recommended projects Interim NIP Coordinator Francis presented the staff report and answered Councilmembers' questions. Councilmember Downey said that she is concerned about the threat of fire, and she believes that fuel reduction should be a high priority. She asked if there is adequate funding for maximum fuel reduction. Staff said that there are adequate funds. Ms. Downey voiced concerns that there is no alternate for Alta Mesa on the NIP and the representative has to travel out of town and sometimes cannot attend the meeting. She referenced a handout she compiled that shows the distribution of NIP funds over the years and asked that staff prepare a spreadsheet each year that tracks the past ten years of NIP funding. Councilmember Haffa said that if funding is broken down per neighborhood, it would be important to look at per capita figures. He asked how staff would handle the maintenance and potential hazards on the David Avenue property if the City does not aquare the property, and Mr. Rerig said that there is a process in place to work with the property owner. Councilmember Selfridge voiced concerns that staff did not raise objections to the David Avenue property until after it had been approved by NIP. Mayor Della Sala opened public comment to the NIP Spokesperson. Sharon Dwight, NIP Alternate Spokesperson, said that it is up to the individual neighborhood association to get a volunteer to serve as an alternate. She said that there is a vetting process for these projects, and the committee is asking staff for clarification of any restrictions during that process. She 7 City Council Minutes Tuesday, May 20, 2014 said that NIP is currently funding almost all of the greenbelt maintenance, and the David Avenue would be the same as other greenbelt areas. She said that all greenbelt areas will require a CEQA review before any fuel reduction can occur. Councilmember Sollecito expressed concern about purchasing a parcel that will always remain open space and that will create a liability to the City. On question, Mr. Harari said that the property is too steep to be buildable. Having no further requests to speak, Mayor Della Sala closed public comment. Mayor Della Sala complimented the NIP Committee for an outstanding job. He said that he would have an issue with purchasing the David Avenue open space and taking on liability for no significant benefit. Councilmember Haffa suggested setting aside unallocated funds toward fuel reduction, and staff said that it would be posible if the NIP chose to do so, but normally the money rolls over to the next year or used to fund cutoff projects. On question, Ms. Dwight said that the $26,000 ending balance goes to the next cutoff project and she does not recommend changing that process. On a motion by Councilmember Della Sala, seconded by Councilmember Sollecito, and carried by the following vote, the City Council declined to fund the David Avenue open space project and provided guidance that they agreed with the other recommended projects.
