Burbank meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Burbank agendas: $185M–$190M library-civic center project, $6.22M sidewalk funds, 420-room hotel review

Burbank's meeting calendar over the past two weeks was filled with items still awaiting action: a design-build contract for a new library and civic center, $6,220,000 in Measure M funds for downtown sidewalks, and a proposed 420-room hotel on North Hollywood Way. The records supplied for this roundup are agendas only — no minutes or vote tallies have been published — so none of the items below is recorded as decided.

Library and Civic Center: contract and cost range

A City Council meeting joint with the Housing Authority on October 13 listed a Progressive Design-Build Contract with Clark Construction Group – California, LP for the Burbank Library and Civic Center Project. Infrastructure Oversight Board entries dated October 21 and October 22 list an estimated total project cost of $185 million to $190 million and an update following a contract with Clark Construction Group – California, LP and SOM. The agenda summaries do not state a contract dollar value.
