Orinda City Council voted unanimously September 20 to adopt the city's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for fiscal years 2011 through 2015. In Vice Mayor Steve Glazer's absence, the vote was recorded as 4-0. The latest CIP draft identifies 32 projects in three categories and another 17 projects under "Future Improvements - Projects Not Funded."
Street paving projects for fiscal year 2012 also passed unanimously (again, 4-0, with Glazer absent). Mayor Victoria Smith recused herself during repair discussions concerning the street on which she lives. City staff said they expect to hire a consultant by November and have the work ready for bid by February or March, 2012. The 98-page CIP proposal and list of streets affected by upcoming repairs is available online at the City's website, www.orinda.ca.us under City Council Agendas.
