Re: 2019-2020 Proposed CIP Budget
Obviously, the proposed budget is not taking into consideration the future of Seal
Beach. Continued spending at this level will leave the city looking for more
revenue in a very short period of time. With all the additional funds to the budget
this year and to have a surplus of only $1,020,000.00 is not fiscally responsible.
It was very disappointing at the last budget meeting to hear that council was not
aware that several positions had previously been approved and staff was looking
for funding. Also, that council members only had a week or so to look at the
proposed budget,276 pages! I
My concerns for CIP are as follows;
CAPITOL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS....................................$8,369,000.
Citywide financial information system, study ....... $200,000.
Citywide IT assessment ............ $1,200,000.
Adolfo Lopez slope repair ........ $235,000.
Pier utility upgrade project ........ $100,000.
Should this have been done with the repairs?
Pier base structural evaluation, preliminary study ...... $40,000.
Zero Tower safety improvements ...............$100,000.
Lifeguard headquarters -STUDY .......... $60,000. ?
Main St. improvements program..............$400,000.
Main St. improvements program M2.......$300,000.
Tota 1......$700,000. ????
6th St alley sewer repair.............$649,000.
1st St. Renovation, construction ...... $130,000. Already completed?
Playground ...................$50,000. For what?
Edison Park, Wooden bollards...... $50,000. For aesthetics?
Synchronize traffic lights, Westminster Ave...............$289,000.
Water rate STUDY ........... $75,000.
The following design fees are for projects as indicated.
Why would design fees be necessary for these projects?
Local street resurfacing ...... $40,000.
Annual slurry .......... $30,000.
Arterial street resurfacing .... $50,000.
Citywide traffic signal improvement ....... $50,000.
Main St. revitalization program .... $100,000.
Water pump station rehabilitation....$100,000. construction ... $100,000.
Lamps on Av.- east transmission main... $200,000.
Water well rehabilitation, Bolsa Chica well ....... $100,000.
Lampson wellhead treatment analysis.....$100,000.
Where is the income/expense for Sunset Aquatic Marina?
If the beach and pier were turned over to the Coastal Commission, what would
the ramifications be? The city would save MILLIONS!
I'm sure that staff and council would like to put this process behind us as soon as
possible but, it's very important to the residents. Decisions made now will effect
the city for years to come. Please, take the time to get it right.
Thank you,
Jerry Moreland
