NCIP committee approves several smaller project increases, including Casanova Oak Knoll, Bruce Arias Way, ballfield lighting and Del Monte Beach closeout
Summary
After a staff presentation, the committee approved additional funding for Casanova Oak Knoll Park ($20,000), Bruce Arias Way lighting ($71,000), replacement lights at Solicitor Ball Field ($50,000), and a $2,840.89 final closeout for the Del Monte Beach boardwalk project.
The NCIP committee approved multiple funding increases and a closeout payment across neighborhood projects presented in a single packet. Key approvals included:
- Casanova Oak Knoll Park: staff requested $20,000 to close a fence budget gap (final cost $106,500 vs. $75,000 estimate). The committee approved the additional funding to complete the shade structure and food-prep table.
- Bruce Arias Way lighting: staff requested an additional $71,000 (total ~$106,000) after design and construction estimates exceeded the original $35,000 estimate; staff characterized the original figure as a poor estimate. The committee approved the increase by roll call (recorded as passing with eight yes votes).
- Solicitor Ball Field lights and poles: committee approved $50,000 to replace lights and poles.
- Del Monte Beach boardwalk: committee approved a final additional $2,840.89 to cover higher-quality wood railings installed during construction; staff said the work improved durability over the previously proposed cable railing.
Committee members discussed priorities and scope-creep concerns but supported closing out and finishing these projects to avoid unfinished work and to protect city assets.
