Project. Member Wilson seconded the motion; motion carried by unanimous

B. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL TO SEEK REQUESTS FOR PROPOSAL FOR
MASTER PLAN FOR CIVIC CENTER SITE.
Mr. Ortega reviewed the staff report and in addition to
it reported that Family YMCA/Youth Center representatives
had met with him to discuss the feasibility of swapping
parcels of land once the City owns the adjacent property.
The representatives had also advised that the Youth
Center was being forced to move from its facility on
Portola Avenue next September, and they had inquired
about using the land immediately adjacent to the Civic
Center for temporary facilities until their building is
constructed.
Member Wilson moved to, by Minute Motion, authorize Staff to seek
Requests for Proposal in accordance with the proposal from planning
consultants to develop a Master Plan for land to be acquired adjacent to

C. REPORT ON PROPOSED POSTAL SERVICE FACILITY
Mr. Ortega reported that the U.S. Postmaster had decided
on a Cook Street location for an expanded facility. The
E1 Paseo facility would remain for postal boxes and
customer services. Because mail sorting and delivery
service would be conducted out of the new facility, the
El Paseo parking lot can be opened up and thus traffic.
congestion will be alleviated.

Chairman Kelly stated he felt that Cook Street facility was
far more logical than here at the Civic Center.

Congressman McCandless for ail his efforts on our behalf
in resolving this problem. The Agency Board agreed, and
staff was directed to prepare such a letter for signature.

Engineering Plans for Superb i ocks to H i_ghway__74;

has prepared the previous engineering, staff recommended
the Agency's award of contract.

engineering for superblocks between Lupine Lane and Highway 74 and to
