CRA approves consent agenda after separating item on roadside beautification
Summary
The Community Redevelopment Agency approved consent agenda items after pulling item 2 for discussion. The pulled item — a Kimley Horn study of roadside beautification — was later described in more detail and also approved by unanimous roll call.
The Community Redevelopment Agency approved its consent agenda, adopting items 1 and 3 and then approving item 2 after discussion.
The motion to approve the consent agenda with the exception of item 2 was made and seconded; the commission then voted by roll call to adopt items 1 and 3. Later the commission moved and voted to approve item 2 as well; roll-call responses recorded affirmative votes from the commissioners present.
Item 2 concerns a Kimley Horn study of roadside beautification and plantings along corridors in the CRA district. During public comment, resident Dennis Conklin asked whether the study was focused on pavement or on intersection improvements and requested links to the presentation; a staff official said the presentation remains available online. The official explained Kimley Horn’s work focuses on beautifying the sides of roadways and planting, and that the firm has faced challenges ensuring consistency because of varying easements.
The vote on the consent agenda items was conducted by roll call; commissioners present were recorded as voting 'Yes.'
