CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting oQctober 22 ,1991 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Leslie Keane Stratton, City Manager SUBJECT: Date: 10/15/91 Resolution Authorizing Reprogramming Of Community Development Block Grant Contingency/ Reserve Funds To Colton Museum Project The Colton Museum building renovations are substantially complete after seven years of combined efforts by many agencies, community groups and the Museum Association. There remains some outstanding items of repair or replacement related to code compliance and historical preservation in order to complete the renovation work for the Certificate of Occupancy. A copy of the list of remaining work items is attached. All funding sources for this work have been exhausted and the remaining work is estimated to cost a total of $20,000 in labor and materials. There is currently approximately $58,000 in the Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG") contingency/reserve fund. DISCUSSION: All of the remaining work can be done with City forces, and materials can be purchased through the City's Purchasing Agent. All of the remaining work can and must be completed prior to December 1, 1991 to facilitate the planned grand opening to the public on December 15, 1991. All of the remaining work appears to be eligible for CDBG funding as it is either code required, historical preservation, or community beneficial use. City Maintenance and Electrical Departments have reviewed the work and determined it to be within their abilities to provide the labor and assist in the purchasing. The terms of the lease between the City of Colton and the Museum Association require and obligate the City to provide a building "fit for occupancy", which means all code requirements have been met. Reprogramming these funds will provide the means to complete this long awaited project in a timely manner. Attachments: Page 1 of_ 2 — Item No. REO'D;`
