SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, P.E.
City Engineer
DATE: April 14, 2005
CONTENTS: Vicinity Map
Recommendation:
City Council by minute motion, continue Public Hearing for
Environmental Impact Report for the Portola Avenue Bridge over
the Whitewater Channel.
Discussion:
On March 9, 2005 a Notice of Availability/Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative
Declaration was published by the City Clerk. Within that Notice a hearing date of
April 14, 2005 at 4:00 P.M. was scheduled.
On March 17, 2005, the State of California clearinghouse, an agency that
distributes all copies of the report to concerned government agencies, informed
our office that the appropriate copies had not been distributed as per schedule.
Due to the mandatory thirty (30) day review period, we were required to extend
the review period until April 18, 2005.
The next regularly scheduled City Council meeting is scheduled for April 28,
2005. We would ask that the hearing be continued until that date.
