Madam Mayor and Councilmembers:
There are a few mathematical corrections required in the staff report for item 2023-3517 - Recommendation to Provide Direction to Staff on a Facility Improvement Plan for the Veterans' Memorial Building. Under the Discussion section of the report are Facility Plan Options. The table for the Baseline Plan has a Total Proposed Investment amount of $1,950,050, which is correct. The subsequent two table (Baseline Plan plus Option 1 and Option 2) use an incorrect amount for the Baseline Plan. The tables should read as follows:
Baseline Plan + Option 1. Veterans’ Memorial Building Facility Improvement Plan Fiscal Year Project Estimated Project
Cost

Lastly, in the fourth paragraph of the Executive Summary, the following correction is required to reference the correct Baseline Plan amount:
Staff recommends using the City’s allocation of federal funds from the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG) to install on-demand electric hot water heaters in each of the building bathrooms and also support the heater replacement project. This aligns with the City’s Climate Action and Resiliency Goals to reduce carbon emissions from buildings.
Staff also considered and analyzed each of the projects requested by the veterans and seeks City Council direction on an overall facility improvement plan for the Veterans’ Memorial Building. The plan includes a baseline of projects totaling $1,934,050 $1,950,050 in the Veterans’ Memorial Building over the next eight (8) years and includes many, but not all, projects requested by the veterans……
Thanks,
