DISCUSSION:
The Pomona Public Library will be undergoing extensive roof and HVAC improvements necessitating the temporary relocation of Community Services recreation staff assigned at the Library. In addition, Outdoor & Active recreation staff are currently occupying Willie White Community Center, but the space will be needed for summer programs, activities, and camps. As renovations at Memorial Park Community Center are yet to be completed, Outdoor & Active staff members will also need to be relocated.
The City identified District property Mendoza Elementary School that would be suitable to accommodate recreation staff during the temporary relocation period. The District will be going to the District Board on June 12, 2024, to approve Addendum No. 3 of the MJUA. Discussions with the District are underway to finalize the arrangements. The relocation will ensure recreation services continue to be provided to the community while the Library undergoes construction and disruption is minimized to Community Services by providing suitable accommodations.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Addendum No. 3 of the MJUA, which provides specific terms applicable to the use and maintenance of District property for Mendoza Elementary.
