DISCUSSION: The street name change is being requested by the residents along Se-Ha-Payak Road. Renaming Se-Ha-Payak Road will reduce the difficulties of pronunciation, writing and spelling of the street name for the general public and emergency services. Additionally, Wat Road was requested by the residents along Se-Ha-Payak Road because it has significance to them as Wat means Temple. A map of the proposed street name change is attached and included. The Fire Department supports this street name change request. Notice of the proposed street name change was sent on July 2, 2019 to adjacent property owners along both sides of the street as well as to all registered neighborhood organizations within 1/4 mile. A copy of the notice for the City Council hearing is included and attached. The applicants will bear the cost of design and installation of the new street signs of $970.24. The Transportation and Public Works Department is responsible for collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Transportation and Public Works will then use the funds provided by the applicants to design and install the two signs bearing the new street name Wat Road. The street name will take effect September 1, 2019. This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7. A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that approval of this recommendation will have no material effect on City funds. Submitted for City Manager's Office bT.
