The\nDOT reports that there is not any anticipated impact to the General\nFund as a result of these recommendations. Accommodations such\nas language access will incur additional costs, and the estimated cost\nfor interpretation services for a one-hour meeting range from $250\n(virtual) and $1,040 (in-person) based on recent quotes from the\nCity’s designated interpretation contractor. Additionally, any meetings\nconducted outside of regular hours of operation would need to incur\nstaff overtime. The engineering overtime cost to attend after-hours\nmeetings and provide technical oversight related to traffic controls is a\nmaximum of $500 per meeting (depending on day/time/and number of\nhours). Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative\nAnalyst has completed a financial analysis of this report.
