West Beach Planning Study, 2010
In 2005, the City’s Redevelopment Agency initiated a capital improvement design process and project for the West Beach Cabrillo Boulevard area. Ultimately, the West Beach Pedestrian Improvement Project along Cabrillo Boulevard was approved and has now been constructed. As part of that process, interest was expressed to further evaluate and study the adjacent sandy beach area. The City’s Redevelopment Agency provided $15,000 in order to contract with Pat Saley and Associates to undertake a focus study of the area known as West Beach. This process was initiated in the spring of 2009 with the West Beach Planning Study.
The goal of the West Beach Planning Study was to identify existing activities and consider adding or improving public uses and/or structures on or near the West Beach area. Additionally, evaluation was given to possibly encourage more use of the beach area and improve its overall appearance and ambiance, which would help draw people into the harbor area.
This report was received by the Redevelopment Agency Board at the regular meeting held August 24, 2010.
Police Station Renovation Project – Summary Pursuant to CRL §33679

The Resolution, if adopted, will also authorize the Public Works Director to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Coffman Engineers for seismic and structural analysis of the Police Station building and with Paul Poirier and Associates Architects for building assessment services and related project management services by Public Works Department staff.
