City of Monterey 1998-99 Adopted Budget COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS

General Government | Leisure, Cultural and Social Services | Public Safety | Public Utilities | Transportation

GENERAL GOVERNMENT

1. Demolish Houses: 587 Van Buren & Hwy 68 at Olmsted - These two city-owned residential houses have been leased to outside parties. However, at present, only one is occupied (Hwy 68/Olmsted), and the rental income generated by it does not cover maintenance costs. This project will demolish the two houses. Budget: $30,000.

2. Ryan Ranch Mechanical Shop Heaters - This is to replace the heaters in the Mechanical shop at the City's Ryan Ranch corporate yard. Existing heaters emit erosive carbon dioxide and are in constant need of repair and maintenance. This project will both upgrade and provide energy savings for the heating system. Budget: $17,000.

3. Ryan Ranch Roof Repairs - This project will provide funds for the repair of all three buildings at Ryan Ranch corporate yard. Funds were appropriated in FY 97/98 for the installation of roof gutters, which was put on hold until this current project was appropriated by Council. We will be able to obtain a better price by doing both at the same time. Budget: $40,000.
