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.

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".
