FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to adopting this Resolution. However, housing authorities that fail to submit their annual plan will not receive federal funding until their annual plan has been submitted and subsequently approved by HUD. If the Housing Authority fails to submit its PHA Annual Plan for 2025 in a timely manner, HUD may impose sanctions.

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Housing Authority Resolution Amending the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Budget Based on Year-End Revenue and Expenditure Projections
MEETING DATE: March 17, 2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff has completed a Mid-Year Review of the Fiscal Year 2024/25 budget and has determined that budget adjustments are needed to meet year-end projections.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed amendments to the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburg (Housing Authority) Budget for Fiscal Year 2024/25 includes an increase of $4 in revenue projections and an increase of $37,270 expenditure appropriations.
RECOMMENDATION
The Governing Board of the Housing Authority adopt this Resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Budget based on year-end revenue and expenditure projections.
BACKGROUND
The Fiscal Year 2024/25 Budget was approved by the Housing Authority Board on June 17, 2024. The Budget was developed based upon information available at that time regarding anticipated revenue and expenditures for the period from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025. Upon completion of the first six months during the fiscal year, staff reviewed the initial Housing Authority budget to identify any adjustments needed to revenue and expenditure projections.
32 SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
The proposed amendments to the Housing Authority Budget were not discussed in a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The table below provides an overview of projected Housing Authority revenue and expenditures for the 2024/25 fiscal year.
Revenue
The projected revenues for Fiscal Year 2024/25 are $24,866,027. Staff has projected those revenues for this fiscal year will remain as projected, with a very minimal increase over the amended budgeted amount of $24,866,023.
Expenditures
The projected expenditures for Fiscal Year 2024/25 are $25,101,550. Staff has projected those expenditures for this fiscal year will increase by $37,270 over the amended budgeted amount of $25,064,280. This increase is primarily related to salary and benefits exceeding projections, while other minor increases include increases to utility costs and rental expenses.
33 Working Capital Reserve Fund Balance
The amended budget assumed an operating loss of $198,257. The proposed budget adjustments increases the operating loss by $37,266 for a total of $235,523. The projected working capital fund balance at June 30, 2025 is estimated to be $527,801. There is no reserve requirement for the Pittsburg Housing Authority’s working capital reserve fund balance, as funds consist primarily of revenues received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and are required to be expended on related rental programs.

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Housing Authority Minute Order Approving an Annual Report Pursuant to Senate Bill 341
MEETING DATE: March 17, 2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburg (Housing Authority) has reviewed and considered the Housing Successor Agency’s Annual Report regarding housing activities through June 30, 2024 (Report).
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact in approving the Report. The Report provides a snapshot of housing activities that have occurred during a specified period.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Governing Board of the Housing Authority approve the Report.
BACKGROUND
The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Pittsburg (Agency) was a redevelopment agency formed, existing and exercising its powers pursuant to California Community Redevelopment Law Health and Safety Code Section 33000 et seq. (CRL). Pursuant to authority granted under the CRL, the Agency has the responsibility to implement the redevelopment plan established by the Community Development Plan for the Los Medanos Community Development Project by Ordinance No. 93-1063, adopted by the City Council on June 7, 1993 (as subsequently amended and restated by Resolution 07-1221 and as may be further amended from time to time).
37 On June 29, 2011, the Governor signed into law ABX1 26, also referred to as the “Dissolution Act” which automatically suspended redevelopment activities and on December 29, 2011, the California State Supreme Court upheld the provisions of the Dissolution Act, thereby dissolving all redevelopment agencies on February 1, 2012 (Dissolution Date). The Dissolution Act provides that prior to the Dissolution Date, the City may elect to assume the assets and responsibilities for the housing functions previously performed by the Agency or by default the housing functions will be transferred to the local housing authority.
On January 17, 2012, by City Resolution 12-11753 and Housing Authority Resolution 12- 261, the City elected to transfer, and the Housing Authority elected to assume all the rights, responsibilities, and functions related to housing previously performed by the Agency to the Housing Authority.
On October 13, 2013, Senate Bill (SB) 341 was approved by the Governor and filed with the Secretary of State. SB 341 amended Health and Safety Code 34176 and changed the former annual report due from the Agency to both the State Controller and Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
The Report was not discussed in a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The Housing Authority will file the Report and any supporting documents, if applicable, as an addendum to the City’s Annual Progress Report filed by the Planning Department. Upon receiving Housing Authority Governing Board approval and once this Minute Order has been certified by the Agency Secretary, the Report will be submitted to HCD on or before April 1, 2025.
Within the reporting period (Fiscal Year 2023/24), $924,238.83 was deposited into the Low Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund (LMIHAF). The ending Fiscal Year 2023/24 balance of the LMIHAF was $31,230,266.00 which includes a reclass of $24,596,630 of loans receivables due to a change by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board according to the City’s auditor. The Housing Successor real property value was valued at $1,975,021.46. For Fiscal Year 2024/25, the Housing Successor is investing funds in community housing counseling and a potential loan for transitional age youth housing.

49 OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
65 Civic Avenue
Pittsburg, CA 94565
TO: Mayor/Chair and Council/Governing Board Members
FROM: Garrett Evans, Executive Director/City Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of City Council, Pittsburg Power Company, Successor Agency for the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Pittsburg, SW Pittsburg Geologic Hazard Abatement District II Resolutions Amending the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget Based on Year End Revenue and Expenditure Projections
MEETING DATE: March 17, 2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff has completed a Mid-Year Review of the Fiscal Year 2024/25 budget and has determined that budget adjustments are necessary to meet year-end projections.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed amendments to the City of Pittsburg Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2024/ 25 include a decrease of $4.4 million in revenue projections for all City funds ($0.1 million General Fund decrease and $4.3 million decrease in other funds), and a decrease of about $29.7 million in expenditure appropriations over the current amended budget ($1.8 million General Fund decrease and $27.9 million decrease in other funds).
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council, Governing Boards of the Pittsburg Power Company (PPC), Successor Agency for the Redevelopment Agency, and the SW Pittsburg Geologic Hazard Abatement District II, approve the resolutions amending the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Budget to reflect anticipated revenues and expenditures for the current fiscal year as detailed in this report.
BACKGROUND
The following Operating Budgets for Fiscal Year 2024/25 were approved by the appropriate governing bodies on June 17, 2024:
50 • City of Pittsburg City Resolution 24-14489 • Pittsburg Power Company PPC Resolution 24-467 • Successor Agency for the City of
Pittsburg Redevelopment Agency SA Resolution 24-056 • SW Pittsburg Geologic Hazard
Abatement District II GHAD Resolution 24-089 The budgets were developed based upon information at the time regarding anticipated revenues and expenditures from the period from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. At the completion of the mid-point of the fiscal year, staff from all departments reviewed their budgets to identify any adjustments required to revenue projections and expenditure appropriations.
The goal of this mid-year analysis is to update the budget to reflect significant budget changes and to develop the financial starting point for development of the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Budget.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
The proposed budget amendments were reviewed by the Budget Sustainability Ad Hoc Subcommittee on February 13, 2025 and March 7, 2025.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The information below provides an overview of projected revenues and expenditures for those City funds with projected significant variances from the budget as currently adopted.
GENERAL FUND
The chart below provides an overview of the major General Fund revenue and expenditure categories. It is projected that Fiscal Year 2024/25 General Fund revenues will fall short of the budgeted amount by $0.1 million and that expenditure appropriation decreases totaling $1.8 million are required. While the amended budget provided for a General Fund net shortfall of $2.3 million, it is currently projected that the General Fund will end the fiscal year with a projected net shortfall of $0.7 million.
51 52
General Fund Revenues
The Fiscal Year 2024/25 Budget amended forecasted General Fund revenue of $61 million.
Based upon information currently available, it is projected that General Fund revenue will total $60.9 million by the end of the fiscal year. Anticipated changes include the following:
Sales Tax
The Fiscal Year 2024/25 budget projected $12.3 million. Due to unforeseen economic changes, the mid-year budget has been revised to reflect a reduction of $0.3 million, the revised total is now $12 million.
Property Tax
Secured property tax revenue was budgeted at $3.9 million. Based upon continued analysis and receipts through December 2024, it is projected that the total amount received this fiscal year will increase by about $0.1 million over the budgeted amount for a total of about $4 million.
Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF)
The General Fund’s RPPTF allocation was budgeted at $3.5 million. Based on continued analysis, it is projected that the total amount received this fiscal year will increase by about $0.6 million for a total of $4.1 million.
Franchise Fees
The City’s franchise fees on cable, refuse, recycling and utilities were budgeted to generate $5.7 million in revenue this fiscal year. Based upon revenue received to date, it is projected that franchise fee revenue will exceed the budgeted amount by about $0.1 million for a total of $5.8 million.
Transient Occupancy Taxes
The City’s transient occupancy tax revenues were projected to generate $1.1 million in revenue this fiscal year, primarily due to the anticipated August 2004 opening of a new hotel within the City. Due to unanticipated delays in the opening, it is projected that transient occupancy taxes will fall short of the budgeted amount by about $0.3 million for a total of $0.8 million.
General Fund Expenditures
The current amended budgeted General Fund expenditure appropriations total $63.4 million including personnel costs and capital expenditures. Based upon a review of all departmental budgets, it is projected that General fund expenditures will total $61.6 million by the end of the fiscal year – a decrease of $1.8 million over the current budget.
General Fund Working Capital Reserve Balance
The General Fund available fund balance as of June 30, 2024 was $20.5 million. With the projected net decrease of $0.7 million, the projected available fund balance at June 30, 2025 is estimated to be $19.8 million or 34.4% of operating expenditures. This balance exceeds the required operating reserve requirement of 30% of operating expenditures per the Fiscal Sustainability Ordinance.
53 OTHER FUNDS
Internal Service Funds
The proposed amendments to the Internal Service Funds reflect an increase of revenue allocations from other City funds to the Employee Fringe Benefit Fund of $2.8 million.
Retiree medical benefits paid out of the OPEB fund, employee fringe benefits and liability insurance costs were originally budgeted at departmental level. The mid-year budget moves those costs to reflect under the respective funds totaling $8.6 million. 54 Enterprise Funds
The proposed amendments to the City’s Enterprise Fund budgets resulted in a net increase of $10.1 million, out of which $10 million are reductions of capital project costs deferred to future years.
55 Special Revenue Funds
The proposed budget amendments to the Special Revenue Fund group will increase the projected year-end fund balance overall by $12.4 million. This increase is primarily the result of June 30, 2024 audit adjustments to the ARPA fund, which affects the timing of revenue and expenditure recognition. There is no budget impact, as the adjustments reflect the reclassification of revenues and deferred revenues. It is a timing difference that affects the year in which the revenue is recognized.
56 STAFFING
No additional positions are recommended for the mid-year budget. Per California State Assembly Bill 2561, budgeted positions and vacancies are as follows:
SUMMARY
The proposed budget amendments are based upon information available at this time and will result in an overall decrease of $4.4 million to budgeted revenue and a decrease of $29.7 million to expenditure appropriations for the 2024/25 fiscal year. These budget amendments will increase the projected year end working capital reserve fund balances by $25.3 million dollars and reflects continuation of the fiscally responsible and conservative approach taken by the City Council and staff during the development of the Fiscal Year 2024/25 City Budget last year.

This item was not brought before a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
If the grant from the State Department of Water Resources is approved, two one-week camps will be held for children ages 9 to 12 from Pittsburg.

The final day of the program will take place at Del Valle Regional Park in Livermore, the nearest State Water Project Reservoir.
Instruction at the reservoir will cover kayak and boat safety as well as water safety at open water facilities.
If approved, grant funding will cover lifeguard wages associated with running the program as well as registration fees. Any additional expenses, which are expected to be minimal, will be covered by the department’s Fiscal Year 2025/26, Fiscal Year 2026/27 and Fiscal Year 2027/28 operating budget.

Pittsburg, CA 94565
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Garrett Evans, City Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of a City Council Resolution to Amend the Master Pay Schedule as Required by California Public Employees’ Retirement System
MEETING DATE: March 17, 2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To comply with CalPERS’ interpretation of the requirements of California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5 by amending the single master pay schedule on the City’s website representing all previously approved actions on the individual classifications of the pay schedule. The single master pay schedule will be submitted to the City Council for approval each time any single MOU, or compensation plan is brought to the City Council for approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
The amendment to the pay schedules as a single master pay schedule has no fiscal impact as adjustments were made with annual budget changes.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council adopt a resolution to amend the City of Pittsburg’s master pay schedule for employee classifications, so the City is in compliance with the requirements of the California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5 and the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) relating to publicly available pay schedules for purposes of determining the amount of “compensation earnable” pursuant to Government Code Sections 20630, 20636, and 20636.1.
94 BACKGROUND
CalPERS, pursuant to their interpretation of California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 570.5, recommends all CalPERS employers to maintain their compensation levels in one publicly available document, approved and adopted by the governing body, which must meet all of the following requirements:
• Has been duly approved and adopted by the employer's governing body in accordance with requirements of applicable public meetings laws; • Identifies the position title for every employee position; • Shows the pay rate for each identified position, which may be stated as a single amount or as multiple amounts within a range;
• Indicates the time base, including, but not limited to, whether the time base is hourly, daily, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or annually;
• Is posted at the office of the employer or immediately accessible and available for public review from the employer during normal business hours or posted on the employer's internet website;
• Indicates an effective date and date of any revisions; • Is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years; and
• Does not reference another document in lieu of disclosing the pay rate.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not reviewed by a subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The change to the master pay schedule reflects a recent salary adjustment to the City Manager’s salary range adopted by the City Council on October 2, 2023 and effective February 3, 2025. Two new classifications were added to the classification plan: Assistant Director of Public Works – Engineering, and Traffic Engineer. A salary adjustment was approved for the Utility Supervisor classification as the salary was less than the Utility Technician’s salary. The new recommended salary range of Utility Supervisor is 15% above the Utility Technician with a maximum of $14,630 per month. In addition, title changes were approved for the Combination Building Inspector, Senior Combination Building Inspector, Lead Police Record Clerk, Police Records Clerk, Water Plant Supervisor and Water Plant Superintendent to updated titles of Building Inspector, Senior Building Inspector, Lead Police Records Technician, Police Records Technician, Water Treatment Plant Supervisor and Water Treatment Plant Superintendent.
The adoption of the resolution will comply with CalPERS’ interpretation of the requirements of Code of Regulations section 570.5 by amending the single master pay schedule already on the City’s website representing all previously approved actions on the individual classifications of the pay schedule.

On August 22, 2001, Island Energy accepted from the federal government, acting through the Department of the Navy, a Grant of Non-Exclusive Easements for Gas and Electric Distribution Systems and Associated Buildings at Mare Island ("Easements").
103
Under the Easements, Island Energy acquired both the existing assets, including all utility distribution systems and related buildings and the non-exclusive easements upon, under and over which the systems and buildings were or are located. As such, PPC retained the right to continue to serve gas and electric load on Mare Island in perpetuity.
In 2005, the City of Vallejo and PPC entered into an Operating Agreements for Electricity and Natural Gas. The Agreements each had a twenty year term. The Vallejo City Council authorized execution of the First Amendments on February 25, 2025.

OPERA TIONS AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF VALLEJO AND ISLAND
ENERGY REGARDING DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRICITY ON MARE ISLAND This Operations Agreement is made and entered into by and between the City of Vallejo, a municipal corporation and charter city (hereafter, "GRANTOR" or •'CITY") and Pittsburg Power Company, a JQint Powers Authority, doing business as Island Energy, (hereafter, uGRANTEE" or "ISLAND ENERGY'.!).
RECITALS
A. Within the boundaries of the City lies Mare Island. Historically the Island contained Mare Island Naval Shipyard (the "Shipyard"), the first naval base on the West Coast, which Congress established in 1853. Mare lslal}d consists of almost 1,650 dry upland acres and now contains about 960 buildHigs, including many dating from the 1800s. Mare Island is a California Historic Landmark and a National Historic Landmark.
At its height, over 40,000 people worked at the Shipyard and it was an important element in the defense of this country through two World Wars and other military actions.
.
B. In 1993, 140 years after this country established the Shipyard, the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission recommended the Shipyard be closed. That has occurred. When the Shipyard closed, about 9,300 civilians and mi(itary personnel worked there. Another 5, 700 persons in the City were employed in connection with the Shipyard. In response to the closure, the City initiated the development and implementation of a successful closure process. The Mare Island Final Reuse Plan (the "Reuse Plan"), which established a policy for the future of the Island, was adopted by the CITY on July 26, 1994. The Reuse Plan's goal is to become a model for successful conversi6n of a military facility. Among other objectives, the Reuse Plan seeks to create jobs and other economic development opportunities to sustain and improve economic conditions in the City and surrounding area; it seeks to create a self-sustaining and multi-use community under a common design theme, with balanced uses that will meet the needs of future generations; and, it seeks to use a variety of innovative economic development tools, including public-private partnerships, to market, finance and develop Mare Island. This Agreement furthers those goals and objectives, by, among other things, providing stable and attractive utility rates for businesses and residents on Mare Island.
C. The CITY also adopted a Specific Plan on March 30, 1999 to.govern the land use policy and development process for Mare Island. Further, it amended the Architectural Heritage Historic Preservation Ordinance (Vallejo Municipal Code Chapter
16.38) to govern historic resources on Mare Island.
D. The regulatory planning process that the CITY has undertaken sets forth goals and objectives concerning provision of electric and gas utilities··to Mare Island.
The Reuse Plan, for example, described the electric system on the Island as generally being in good condition and supporting the land uses the Plan envisioned. It identified Capital Improvement Project activities, such as sealing underground electric vaults 1/10/0S

against water intrusion and performing asbestos abatement. It also noted that Federal power was being purchased at a favorable rate pursuant to an agreement between the Navy and the Western Area Power Administration . The Specific Plan recognized a possible need to replace overhead distribution in the residential areas with underground facilities and the installation of electric service meters throughout the Island.
E. Following the determination by CITY that it would not assume the responsibility ·tor distribution of the gas and electric utilities on Mare Island, Pittsburg Power Company was formed for this and other P.urposes and, under the name ISLAND ENERGY, commenced operations as ·a municipal gas and electric utility provider on Mare Island under a license agreement with the U.S. Government on April 1, 1997. The CITY and ISLAND ENERGY have cooperated with the Western Area Power Administration 0/VAPA) in retaining the benefit of the lower cost electricity through WAPA under the National Defense Authorization Act. ·
F. On August 22, 2001, Pittsburg Power Company accepted from the federal government, acting through the Department of the Navy, the Grant of Non-Exclusive Easement For Gas And Electric Distribution Systems And Associated Buildings At The Former Mare · Island Naval Shipyard To Pittsburg Power Company, J. P. A. (d.b.a. "Island Energy") (the •Grant of Easement"). Under the Grant of Easement, ISLAND ENERGY acquired both the then-existing hard assets, including all utility distribution systems and related buildings and the easements upon, under and over which the systems and buildings were located, from the U.S. Government, CITY's predecessor in title.
G. Under the Grant of Easement, if any of the Existing Easements (as defined below) or the Existing Facilities (as defined below) are required to. be relocated by the Navy. its successors and iassigns or the local redevelopment agency for Mare Island, the party requesting such relocation, is to pay ISLAND ENERGY all costs of relocation and provide ISLAND ENERGY with an equivalent substitute easement. The Grant of Easement also provides that after fifty (50) years from the date of the Grant of Easement, any costs of relocation of aboveground gas and electrical distribution facilities shall be borne by ISLAND ENERGY.
H. Under its Charter, the CITY is authorized to enter into agreements for the operation, maintenance and construction of electric utility systems on Mare Island. The CITY and ISLAND ENERGY have agreed that it is in the best interest of both parties, as well as the economic development of Mare Island, to enter into this Agreement and provide for continued, improved , expanded and, to the extent possible, 'lower cost electric service on Mare Island.
I. The parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement to provide for (1} an agreement by ISLAND ENERGY that, as Mare Island develops,. it will exchange those easements and electric dis~ribution facilities and buildings conveyed under the Grant of Easement for relocated easements, facilities and buildings at the times and under the conditions specified in this Agreement; (2) payment of a fee by ISLAND ENERGY, similar to that paid by PG&E to the City for PG&E's franchise rights in other areas of the 2 761464v1SA 05137/0052 1/10/05

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
65 Civic Avenue
Pittsburg, CA 94565
TO: Mayor/Chair and Council/Governing Board Members
FROM: Garrett Evans, Executive Director/City Manager
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Pittsburg Power Company Resolution Allocating $4 Million of Capital Reserve Balance to the Sports Tourism Project and Adoption of a City Council Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Expend Funds and Execute Necessary Agreements to Complete Construction of the Dream Courts
MEETING DATE: March 17, 2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Pittsburg and Discovery Builders DBI (“DBI”) have previously entered into an agreement in which DBI shall design and construct all components of an approximately 45,000 square foot recreation facility (“Dream Courts”) on land owned by the City (“Agreement”). Pursuant to this Agreement, DBI shall contribute an amount not-to-exceed $3.25 million, while the City shall be responsible for the remaining cost(s).
FISCAL IMPACT
On June 17, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 24-14499, allocating $9,792,811 of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to the Sports Tourism Project, which includes constriction of the Dream Courts.
Staff is requesting the allocation of an additional $4 million of Pittsburg Power Company (PPC) capital reserve balance for the completion of Dream Courts.
PPC currently maintains a capital reserve cash balance of $4,850,124. Allocation of the requested $4 million would reduce the cash balance of the reserves to $850,124. The City’s adopted Fiscal Sustainability Policy requires 30% of operational costs be held in reserves (20% in cash and liquid investments and 10% in real property). The estimated operational costs for Fiscal Years 2024/25 and 2025/26 are approximately $4 million and $3m respectively, which would require $900,000 to $1.2m in the reserves to comply with the Fiscal Sustainability Policy. The $850,124 in capital reserve cash balance and PPC-owned facilities on Mare Island sufficiently satisfies the Fiscal Sustainability Policy. 153
RECOMMENDATION
1. Staff recommends the Governing Board of the Pittsburg Power Company adopt a resolution allocating $4 million of capital reserve cash balance to the City’s Sports Tourism Project.
2. Staff further recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to expend funds and execute necessary agreements to complete construction of the Dream Courts.
BACKGROUND
The City currently lacks some of the infrastructure helpful in providing recreational services.
Former youth centers along Crestview Drive have been closed since the late 1990s. The Pittsburg Youth Development Center, which offers youth classes and sports, is outdated and cannot meet the demand of a city the size of Pittsburg.
On August 2, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 20-13810, approving an agreement in which Discovery Builders, Inc. to design and construct all components of an approximately 45,000 square foot recreation facility on land owned by the City, at a cost not to exceed $3 million. On February 1, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 21- 13895, approving the First Amendment to Agreement specifying that site improvements include restrooms and increase the not-to-exceed amount to $3.25 million. As mentioned in the Fiscal Impact, on June 17, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 24-14499, allocating $9,792,811 of ARPA funding to the Sports Tourism Project. In Fall 2024, DBI began construction of the Dream Courts Project. Construction was halted to ensure the Project complies with the adopted Projects Stabilization Agreement (“PSA”) between the City and the Contra Costa Trades Council.
SUBCOMMITTEE FINDINGS
This item was not presented to the subcommittee.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The anticipated increase in costs and subsequent funding request being made is required in order to ensure compliance with the adopted PSA. If approved, future construction activities will be completed by signatories to the PSA, as applicable. Staff anticipates that following allocation of the requested funds, construction of the Dream Courts will restart within 6 weeks.
