Page 2 of 2
Odam Medical Group has purchased the property at 6014 Lakeland Ave. N. They propose
to demolish the vacant Rostamo’s building and construct a new medical clinic and site
improvements including parking lot and landscaping. The clinic would initially have one
floor with the option to add second and third floors in future years. At its meeting on
March 14, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended approval.
Recommend approval of the site and building plans including the Planning Commission’s
findings and conditions.
5.3 The Council will consider a resolution to purchase furniture for the new police department
facility and city administrative offices.
Part of the Police Station project budget includes an allocation for purchasing new office
furniture. The city’s capital building budget includes funds for replacing the existing city
administrative office cubicles and furniture. By purchasing both the police and
administrative furniture together, we get better prices. Recommend approval of the
resolution authorizing these purchases.
5.4 The Council will consider a resolution approving plans and specifications and authorizing
advertisement for bids for parking lot improvements at Grogan Park (the Community Center)
and parking lot and dog park improvements at Bassett Creek Park.
The parks and building capital funds include allocations for replacing the south parking lot
at the Community Center, the parking lots at Bassett Creek Park and relocating and
enhancing the dog park at Bassett Creek Park. Staff met with representatives of both
watersheds to review the proposed plans. The parking lot at the Community Center
requires administrative watershed approval prior to construction. The city has applied to
the Bassett Creek Watershed for the dog park project for consideration at the April
watershed meeting. Recommend approval of the plans and specifications and authorizing
advertising for bids for these improvements.
5.5 The Council will consider a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for 2021 and 2022 health
insurance contributions for Law Enforcement Labor Services (LELS), Local #56 (Police
Supervisors).
An agreement has been reached with LELS, Local 56 (Police Supervisors), for 2021 and 2022
health insurance contributions, and is consistent with other bargaining units and non-
represented employees. Recommend approval of the MOU regarding 2021 and 2022 health
