BACKGROUND:
On May 12, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved the conveyance of County-owned real property located at 1700 Oak Park Blvd. in Pleasant Hill to the City of Pleasant Hill for library purposes. The County and the City of Pleasant Hill permanently closed the old Pleasant Hill Library on June 3rd, 2020, and temporarily relocated to the Pleasant Hill City Hall Property located at 100 Gregory Lane while the City’s new library is under construction. The County and the City are now executing the standard form Library Lease and Service Agreement for the newly constructed library located at 2 Monticello Avenue in Pleasant Hill. The County’s standard form Library Lease and Service Agreement was approved by the Board of Supervisors in 2010 and amended in 2020.
Under the terms of the new Library Lease and Service Agreement with the City of Pleasant Hill, the County will perform library services and related activities at the library and the City will pay for and provide all maintenance, utilities, and janitorial services to the library. No rent is due or payable by the County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve the Library Lease and Service Agreement with the City of Pleasant Hill may reduce library services in the City of Pleasant Hill.
