Attachment A – Future Agenda Items List from February 2025 with Adopted Motion # Requested Item Requestor/
Seconder
Date
Requested Recommendation Motion
1 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).

2 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.

Requested Recommendation Motion
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".
