Capital Improvement Program street reconstruction project on Amanda Avenue from Rosedale
Street to Ramey Avenue is no longer necessary• and
b) Authorize transfer of these funds for the reconstruction of South Hughes Avenue from Ida Way to
Martin Luther King Freeway
DISCUSSION
In the 1998 Capital Improvement Program s Statement of Commitment, the City Council shall have the
right to abandon or modify a project if in the City Council's opinion conditions materially change so that the
project as originally proposed is unwise or unnecessary In that event, the City Council may direct that the
bond proceeds be expended for other projects within the voted purposes of the bonds
Partial reconstruction of Amanda Avenue was included in 'the 1998 Capital Improvement Program with
funds in the amount of $120 000 After staff reevaluation it was determined that tree -pavement is
structurally sound with only surface failures Therefore this project has been found to be unwise or
uneccesary due to a material scope change since the pavement on Amanda Avenue from Rosedale Street
to Ramey Avenue can be restored with a surfacing treatment rather than reconstruction
