Attachment B – January 2025 To Be Determined (TBD) List # Requested Item Requestor/

Date
Requested Recommendation
1 Report to Council a cost comparison of leasing vs. buying office property in Cupertino for a lease length of time of 2 years (in the event that plans for remodel and retrofit are drawn up and executed, staff leases an unremodeled building for 2 years and returns) or 7 years (in the event that a purchased office building requires $5M in remodel costs which takes one year to complete, and City Hall relocates to it for 6 years, sells the building in a flat office market and returns). Both of these scenarios would assume City Hall is remodeled at $27M.

1. Agendize this discussion
2. Remove from TBD list
2 Draft a policy regarding disclosure to the public of remodeling costs of buildings the Council is considering purchase of in open session. This policy would ensure that the public will not be surprised to find a negotiated arrangement to provide a Council-designated property negotiator more than the delegation of authority to negotiate the cost of the property (meaning Council shall not negotiate remodeling costs or process of determining remodeling amounts in closed session).

4 Discuss and give direction on the "wisdom of purchase" versus leasing of any property as an interim city hall, based on prior council motions for city hall renovation/rebuild, to include the duration of the use of the interim city hall, an estimate of leasing/purchasing prices and estimated remodeling/earthquake retrofit costs in general terms as permitted in an open session before any offer is made on any property. The agenda item on June 18 Council meeting to authorize the city managers as a negotiator, only listed the property address, but not the "wisdom of the purchase".
