1 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER Honorable Mayor and City Council Alan Tandy, City Manager AT General Information May 19, 2017 Notable Items: This past Wednesday the State Route 178 Widening Project Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was held with Councilmembers Gonzales, Smith, Weir and Mayor Goh in attendance. We are grateful for all those who played a role in this important project. Those litigants appealing the Superior Court s decision that the Recirculated EIR for the 24th Street Widening Project appropriately addresses the requirements of CEQA have submitted their opening written arguments to the appellate court in Fresno. The City will be submitting a response. Given the appellate court s congested schedule, there is a strong possibility that the appeal will not be heard before the end of the year. Because the litigants failed in their attempt to stop the project while the appeal was being decided, the project continues to move forward with the demolition of the homes purchased for the project nearly completed in preparation for construction.

2 General Information May 19, 2017 Page 2 This week the City held multiple events for National Police Week.
