Courthouse streetscape estimate: The County's estimate for sidewalks on MLK is $110.000
and the estimate for 1st Street to the starting point on ^A" Street is $280.000. Their
recommendation is that the County pay for the MLK portion and the City to cover the 1 st and A'
Street portions. The County will take care of the bidding and design as one package. Michael
Morales asked if loan package similar to the previous work on 2nd and ''A" Streets could be
utilized. He noted that the City has not budgeted for the work in 2011. Mr. Redifer said yeo, a
similar loan package could be used and the work may not happen until 2012—oV payments
scheduled to begin in 2012 would work. Michael Morales said he will check with Finance on the
details. He suggested that the City Council Economic Development Committee could discuss
the proposal because they oversee C>YF|.projects. Councilmembers Ensey and Coffey agreed
the proposal can go forward for discussion with the Economic Development Committee.
