Director Simpson reported that the operating transfers from the general funds to other funds going out are going down by $20,000. Staff completed a full electric bill audit and will save approximately $44,000 a year and receive approximately $20,000 in refunds.

Director Simpson provided an update of the CRS Accounts and reported that the City has approximately $1,327,000 in deposit with the net outstanding balance at approximately $136,000. Director Simpson reported the CIP (Capital Improvement Program) was adopted at $25.4 Million, however based on the current street and park project activities the CIP is at $50.2 Million and approximately $43 Million of that total is funded. City of Lake Elsinore Page 2 City Council Meeting Minutes January 27, 2015 Public Works Director Damasse provided status of the CIP projects. Director Damasse provided a report for the following projects: Rosetta Canyon Park Improvements has an allocation of $6.8 Million for a planning consultant and an architect firm that will provide space planning with staff providing project options to Council at a future date; Serenity Parks improvements are currently in the first phase for the design build of the skate park and the second phase consist of restrooms, parking spaces and lights; Whiskers Beach Improvements are currently in design and in the process of the environmental clearance; 1 -15 /Railroad Canyon Deceleration Lane Project is in the process of obtaining an encroachment permit from Caltrans and will go out to bid in April 2015; Facility Master Plan includes a citywide evaluation of all City buildings and facilities, an assessment of the City parks has been completed, and energy audits will be conducted at each of the facilities which will result in a short -term to long -term CIP (Capital Improvement Project) for each of the facilities; Storm Drain Master Plan is currently in the process of a field study of the facilities for data and hydraulic analysis; the City acquired the Ennis property on Lakeshore Drive for paving of a parking lot with a parking structure; City Monuments project has been awarded and the two ground monuments will be completed by the end of this fiscal year; City -wide Sidewalk Survey will be conducted in February 2015 to look at the state and condition of existing sidewalks, as well as repair methods and costs which will result in a CIP development program for the sidewalk program; staff is currently assessing the replacement of the sailboat logos on street signs and reviewing the operations budget to see how many street signs can be replaced. Director Damasse stated that 30 streets have been completed in Phase 1 of the Pavement Management Plan; Phase 2 will focus on major street rehabilitation, address drainage improvements, and includes 10 lane -miles of reconstructive streets. A total of 38 streets will be primarily funded by the TRIP bond. Director Damasse reviewed the Pavement Management Plan and stated that the City has spent approximately $4.3 Million for Phase 1 and Phase 2. City Treasurer Baldwin stated the City's transition in staff talent and tools has provided a laser sharp budget and laser sharp method to monitor the budget into the future. John Franco, Lake Elsinore resident, spoke regarding public safety concerns and conditions of dirt roads located on Driscol at Hill Avenue in Country Club Heights. He stated that for the past five years the budget has included road pavement, but the roads still remain unpaved and property values have declined due to unpaved roads. Council Member Magee stated that there are funds in the budget for unpaved streets, but he did not recall Driscol on the street pavement list that has already been completed. Council Member Magee stated that at this point Driscol needs to be put on the CIP list to move forward. Staff will need to assess what is appropriate and put together a priortiy list and start paving the streets again. City of Lake Elsinore Page 3 City Council Meeting Minutes January 27, 2015 Council Member Johnson asked if Driscol was a private or City road. She requested that staff look at the PMP Index to see why Driscol was not previously included in the street pavement schedule. Council Member Johnson stated that she has received calls regarding the deplorable conditions of Gunnerson Street. Director Damasse responded that Gunnerson Street is currently scheduled to be paved, but it is still going through environmental clearances. Council Member Johnson asked if the need for a CIP phase project for the replacement of the sailboat logo street signs was an indication that the inventory of signs throughout the City is large. Director Damasse explained that the best approach for the replacement of the sailboat street signs is to phase the project, so that the project is performed correctly. Council Member Johnson stated that the City is moving forward with monument signs and City branding efforts, but falling behind in the scale of the City's image. She requested an inventory list of the street signs with an update to the Council as to when the signs can be phased in. City Manager Yates stated the cost for replacing the signs is $70,000 to $80,000. Staff has a listing of all the signs that have sailboats on them and it was a significant amount that puts it over the threshold to create a capital project, but there may be opportunities to replace signs at intersections that have higher visibility and staff will provide that list. City Manager Yates stated staff will keep this project visible and understands the concept of being consistent in branding efforts. He also stated that because of the cost, staff wants to ensure that this project is done systematically to stay within the total of the City's budget. Council Member Magee clarified that Gunnerson Street is funded in the budget. Mayor Manos stated that this meeting was a budget workshop to be informative in nature and announed there will also be a strategic planning session to set priorities.
