12-20-06 - Council Action - *Amending Motion - Huizar Mover 2006 / Parks - ADOPTED - Today's Council Agenda contains a proposal to authorize staff to proceed with acquisition and development of a Neighborhood City Hall in Boyle Heights (Item #39). The recommendations on file instruct staff to revise cost estimates for bringing the building into compliance with the City's Building Code, including any necessary seismic work, and further instruct staff to present a 'stacking plan' for the building's final occupancy. The latter will affect the type of financing that may be used to purchase and build out the facility.
So that the City Council will have the most accurate information available when considering the project's final budget, City staff should use the approved stack plan to develop final construction documents and a "Class A" estimate of the total cost of tenant improvements. This information will also allow City staff to identify the appropriate sources and types of financing for the project.
THEREFORE MOVE that Item #39 on the Wednesday, December 20, 2006 City Council Agenda be amended to add the following recommendations:
10. AUTHORIZE and INSTRUCT the Bureau of Engineering and the General Services Department to proceed with the development of construction documents based on the approved "stack plan" and report to the City Council with a Class A estimate of the total project costs.
11. INSTRUCT the CAO to use the Class A estimate to develop and present to the City Council a final financing plan to cover the total cost of purchasing and developing a Neighborhood City Hall at this location.
