• With regard to Margot Yapp’s Power Point Presentation on the Impact of Trucks vs. Cars, Road Impact Fee and Annual Financial Impact; 45% of the total traffic in Carmel-by-the-Sea is estimated to be due to “trucks” and of that 45%, 60% is estimated to be due to “construction traffic.” If the City Council decides to impose a Road Impact Fee exclusively on “construction trucks,” then 40% of the total 45% of “trucks” doing similar damage to Carmel-by-the-Sea’s streets will not be assessed. As a matter of policy, it is fair to only assess “construction trucks?”

• If the City Council implements Nichols Consulting Engineers recommendation of increasing funding for roads from its “average city budget” of $382,000/year to $660,000/year, then in the context of the City’s budget, the City will still be expending less for critical and essential street infrastructure annually than the City has expended for Sunset Cultural Center, Inc. annually since its inception in 2004.

• Margot Yapp’s characterization of Carmel-by-the-Sea’s road network condition as “at edge of cliff, time to take action” means the City Council needs to reprioritize its priorities to increase funding for Carmel’s streets from its “average city budget” for roads of $382,000/year to at least $660,000/year so that Carmel-by-the-Sea doesn’t realize a similar fate as Santa Cruz County.
