HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
Over the years, the CRA has constructed a series of streetscape, park, and parking lot improvements that have increased maintenance above the level of maintenance required of the City prior to the improvements. The CRA may allocate a portion of the Redevelopment Trust Fund to support increases in maintenance costs as a result of such CRA projects. As the CRA does not have its own maintenance staff, the CRA contracts with the City Parks & Recreation Department to provide this service. Parks & Recreation has outsourced this function to trained crews with the expertise to maintain the identified areas and provide the additional maintenance activities authorized under the agreement.
