Recommendation: approve Items A per recommendations
A. APPROVAL OF CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH RHA
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS PLANNERS, INC. TO DEVELOP A PARKS
AND OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN
For many years the Parks and Recreation Commission and the City
Council have expressed concern with the lack of park and open space in
the City and discussed options to add green space. With less than 19
acres of park space for 38,000 residents (.55 acres/1,000) Temple City is
far below the national standard of 10 acres/1,000. Because of these
ongoing discussions, staff included an item in the 2011-13 work plan to
prepare a Parks and Open Space Master Plan that would analyze and
develop recommendations to address the shortage and issued a Request
for Proposals.
The City Council is requested to approve a consultant services agreement
with RHA Landscape Architects Planners, Inc. for development of a Parks
and Open Space Master Plan in an amount not to exceed $87,500.
Recommendation:
1) Approve a Consultant Services Agreement with RHA Landscape
Architects Planners, Inc. to develop a Parks and Open Space
Master Plan in an amount not to exceed $87,500; and
2) Authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute the Consultant
Services Agreement with RHA Landscape Architects Planners, Inc.
6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS – None
7. NEW BUSINESS
A. SELECTION OF A DESIGN OPTION FOR THE LAS TUNAS DRIVE
SAFETY ENHANCEMENT AND BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT
With the City currently pursuing an aggressive program of community
planning to situate Temple City for the next 50 years, the Las Tunas
revitalization effort presents a key opportunity, addressing economic
development, civic engagement and infrastructure renewal. While
primarily involving physical improvements, the Project’s addition of safety
and beautification amenities will create an attractive environment that will
ultimately draw visitors and community members to shop, dine and
congregate locally-in effect promoting downtown businesses, elevating
community prestige and increasing residents’ quality of life.
