RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Second Amendment to the Joint Occupancy Agreement with the Judicial Council of California, at the George D. Carroll Courthouse, located at 100 37th Street, Richmond. (Project No.: T00057)

FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be savings realized in annual occupancy costs and deficiency corrections due to the reduced footprint of the County in the Court building. (100% General Fund.)

BACKGROUND:

On March 31, 2009, in compliance with the Trial Court Facilities Act of 2002, the Board of Supervisors approved a Transfer Agreement and Joint Occupancy Agreement with the Judicial Council of California. The agreements transferred majority equity rights to the State of California for 100 37th Street Richmond, the George D. Carroll Courthouse. Title was transferred to the State of California on April 23, 2010. On May 5, 2015, a First amendment with the Judicial Council of California was approved that re-allocated parking spaces between the County and the Superior Court. On June 1, 2015, the County surrendered space in the mezzanine area and the Veterans Services Officer office in order for the Superior Court to vacate its files from 100 38th Street to 100 37th Street. This Second Amendment is an acknowledgement of what has transpired. The end result is a reduction of 2.21% in space occupied by the County in the George D. Carroll Courthouse and, therefore, lowers costs.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County would have to pay for relocation of court files from 100 38th Street and the abandoned space would have to be re-occupied by the County.
