Police bond oversight committee reports site visits and contractor reviews; franchise coordination caused short delay
Summary
City staff and committee member Jennifer Raymond reported monthly oversight of police bond construction, review of contracts and estimates, and site visits; staff said franchise coordination required a roughly two‑week mobilization pause but produced no budget impact and that schedule contingency remains.
At the start of the June 2 meeting the council received the police bond oversight committee’s annual report. Staff noted the committee was formed by resolution after the bond measure passed and includes seven community members. Jennifer Raymond described monthly meetings, site visits and the committee’s work reviewing engineers’ cost estimates, the guaranteed maximum price and contractor performance.
Staff reported some coordination challenges with franchise utilities that temporarily halted construction activity for roughly two weeks while equipment and crews remained on site; staff said the delay did not create a budgetary impact and that the overall project has approximately four weeks of schedule contingency. Council members and staff answered questions about whether the franchise issues raised will require budget adjustments — staff said not at this time but that they are actively managing the matter.
