RECOMMENDATION(S):

1. APPROVE the Third Amendment to the Agreement for Operation and Maintenance of the Pittsburg Branch Library at 80 Power Ave., Pittsburg, with the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Pittsburg, dated December 19, 1967, to extend the Agreement for a five-year period beginning December 19, 2009, and ending December 18, 2014, for continued occupancy by the Library, under the terms and conditions set forth in the Third Amendment.
2. AUTHORIZE the Director of General Services, or designee, to EXERCISE the Third Amendment to the Agreement.

3. DETERMINE that the project is a Class 1, Section 15301 Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). (CP#09-80)

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

4. DIRECT the Department of Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk, and DIRECT the Director of General Services, or designee, to arrange for the payment of the handling fees to the Department of Conservation and Development and County Clerk for filing of the Notice of Exemption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of the Third Amendment to Agreement will obligate the County’s Library to continue the operation of the Pittsburg Public Library at a cost of approximately $87,000 in FY 2009/2010. The approval of the Third Amendment to Agreement was anticipated, and sufficient funds were budgeted, in the County Library’s FY 2009/2010 approved budget.

BACKGROUND:

The County Library has operated and maintained the premises for use as a library since December 1967. The City of Pittsburg has included in its Capital Improvement Program the construction of a new building that will include a new Pittsburg Branch Library. The Third Amendment to the Agreement provides for the County's continued occupancy in the existing Library space until a new library is built.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County Library will need to relocate from its current location or cease operations. The costs to relocate will likely be more than the cost to stay in the current location.
