MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 16, 2008
SUBJECT: ADVANCED FUNDING AGREEMENT FOR A SIDEWALK
PROJECT ON WILDWOOD DRIVE FOR SILVER LAKE
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consider a resolution approving an advanced funding agreement with the
Texas Department of Transportation for a sidewalk project on Wildwood Drive as part of
a Safe Routes to School program and take any necessary action.
BACKGROUND:
Staff prepared and submitted an application to the State under the Safe Routes to
School program for the installation of approximately 1,200 feet of sidewalk along
Wildwood Drive between Dooley Street and Boyd Drive. The project was selected for
grant funding by the State. The sidewalk was identified as being needed as part of a
Safe Routes to School Plan that Staff developed for the Silver Lake Elementary School.
The sidewalk will provide for a safe pedestrian path for children that live on the east side
of Boyd Drive and attend Silver Lake Elementary School. The project cost is estimated
at $98,713 and is completely funded by the Grant (there is no local match).
An advanced funding agreement is needed before the State can issue us the notice to
proceed. The agreement also sets forth the project scope, budget and project specific
terms and conditions.
Staff recommends approval.
