Ayes: 6; Noes: 0 <br /> <br />F. City Council Review and Selection of Two to Three Projects for Presentation to Our <br />Congressional Representatives During the March National League of Cities Conference <br />in Washington D.C. for Inclusion in the Federal Fiscal Year 08 Budget. <br /> <br />Assistant City Manager Steve Hollister reported on the seven projects which have been <br />identified to advocate to congressional representatives during the Council's upcoming <br />conference in Washington, D.C. It was recommended that the Council select no more <br />than three of the projects for presentation to our congressional representatives for <br />inclusion in the federal FY 08 budget. <br /> <br />Mayor Santos noted that four members of the Council will be traveling to Washington, <br />D.C. He stated that the Senior Center would be a project to which the federal legislators <br />would be receptive. <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Grant inquired about the City's relationship with the Army Corps of <br />Engineers and the funding for the Marina dredging. Mr. Jermanis and Mr. Hollister <br />reported on the status of funding for dredging the Marina. <br /> <br />Councilmember Souza expressed support for the Senior Center, Davis Street <br />interchange and Marina Boulevard interchange projects. <br /> <br />Councilmember Stephens expressed support for the Senior Center, East 14th Street <br />improvements and the Davis Street interchange projects. <br /> <br />Councilmember Gregory expressed support for the Senior Center and East 14th Street <br />improvements. He commented that for the long term, he would like to see City projects <br />incorporate green building principles. <br /> <br />Councilmember Starosciak commented that the Congestion Management Agency <br />(CMA) has not yet approved the High Occupancy Vehicle lane on 1-880 from 98th <br />Avenue to Marina Boulevard. If not approved, she noted that there would be much less <br />funding available for interchange improvements. <br /> <br />Councilmember Souza indicated that she would change her third choice to East 14th <br />Street improvements. <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Grant commented that she would like to have a packet of materials on the <br />Marina to take to Washington in case the opportunity arises to promote that project. <br /> <br />Minute Order No. 2007-011, Motion Selecting Projects for Presentation to Our <br />Congressional Representatives During the March National League of Cities Conference <br />in Washington D.C. for Inclusion in the Federal Fiscal Year 08 Budget.
