Mayor Corbett said action was also necessary on the East 14th Street median project which was discussed at Work Session. Council Member Glaze said he would like to look for alternative funding. Council Member Galvan said they should give approval so the project can move forward, then ask staff to look at alternative funding. Council • Member Loeffler recommended going forward with the full test of the project. Gary Kruger, Transportation Administrator, described the proposed temporary median from the creek to Broadmoor Boulevard. The City Manager said the estimated cost for a full- length test by the City would be $30,000 for installation and $30,000 for removal, if necessary. He said removal would probably be unnecessary because it would be overlaid by Caltrans, but the additional $30,000 would be needed if problems occur and the test needs to be removed. Mr. Kruger said the project could be done by City employees on weekends. He said a community meeting would be held in late July or mid - August prior to the test in September. A follow -up meeting would be held in December, with a recommendation to Council early next year, in time to work with Caltrans.
