My Dear Constituents,

It has been a challenging two-year journey since you elected me as your District 1 representative. Thank you again for your votes. As I approached my 3^rd year term, I would like to share what we have accomplished in the last two years and what is ahead.

Competed Projects:

1. Completion of our new RAC center.
2. Completion of our new Centennial Plaza.
3. Completion of our City Hall new roof.
   
   
   
4. Great news! The community, staff and City Council have been patiently awaiting the activation of solar power system at the RAC. It is now fully functioning and supplementing the building’s power needs

Current Events:

1. Construction of the Florida Park.
2. Significant progress on the plans for Tanforan's redevelopment.
3. Grant funding improvements to our city’s fleet of maintenance vehicles.
4. Crestmoor Project.

Timeline: The Developer expects to close on the purchase on the property in February 2025 and begin the construction process soon after. Thus, the city must confirm its willingness to proceed with the Crestmoor Fields Project and to enter into an improvement agreement with Toll Brothers in early 2025. This fast and compressed timeline, outside the City’s normal Capital Improvement Program schedule, limits the available funding sources that the city might seek out for the remaining balance and adds urgency to the City’s request to the Foundation. If SBCF approves funding, City staff will present the grant award to the City Council for review and acceptance in early 2025. Then, staff and the Developer will work collaboratively to finalize an Improvement Agreement for field construction and the impact fee credit, which will return to the City Council for action in February/March 2025. The city will continue to work as expeditiously as possible so the park construction can start in Summer 2025 concurrently with the construction of the residential project. Construction will take approximately 9 to 12 months, and the project is estimated to be completed in Summer/Fall 2026

Budget: Proposed Funding Approach Funding Type Value City Community Facilities Impact Fees - via Impact Fee Credit for the Development Project $3.2M. City Transportation Facilities Impact Fee via Impact Fee Credit for the Development Project $0.4M. Additional City/Non-City Funds TBD $3.4M. Total

$7.0M

5. Phase I – Streetlight replacement and upgrade.

5. Phase 1 of the Solar Streetlight Installation Progress: The City’s solar Streetlight installation project is progressing well in the Rollingwood neighborhood. As of this week, all 45 functional lights from the first batch have been installed (see attached map for specific locations). Some components needed for the second batch of lights are currently experiencing slight delays by U.S. Customs. Although slightly delayed, the second batch of lights are anticipated soon, and staff are projecting installation in early 2025.
