2013 296
Proposed By:Council Members City Manager's Review: Page:
Scarth and Allen Gray ;
City Attomey's Rev iew: �{ / �L` t—,� �"'�`" PAGE 1 OF 1
It is proposed that:
1. The City Council authorize the City Manager to initiate a street name change to rename a portion of East 1"
Street to Randol Mill Road,east of Beach Street to Oakland Boulevard.
2. Waive any associated application fees for the name change.
DISCUSSION:
It is recommended that a portion of East I'Street,east of Beach Street to Oakland Boulevard,be renamed to Randol
Mill Road.
In order to waive fees, the City Council should make the following two findings: (1) that the waiver carries out a
public purpose; and(2)that there are sufficient controls to ensure that the public purpose is carved out. Renaming
this portion of East 1'Street will reduce the current confusion by the general public and emergency services caused
by a single right-of-way having multiple names along its length. The process for implementing the street name
change will include notification of the affected property owners prior to City Council action and a Mayor and City
Council Communication to confirm the street name change after that public notification period has occurred. The
City will bear the cost and install the new street signs.
LEGALITY:
The Law Department finds that this proposal is legal and within the authority of the City Council.
FISCAL NOTE:
The Finance Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City funds.
CITY MANAGER'S COMMENT:
The City nager has no objection to this proposal.
