SUBJECT: NOMINATION OF COUNTY COURT HOUSE (OLD HALL OF RECORDS)

SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION-
1. Accept report by County Administrator recommending
authorization be given to execute a contract with the Contra
Costa County Historical Society to prepare and process
documents to place the County Court House on the National
Register of Historic Places.
2. Authorize releasing monies from park dedication accounts for
said contract.
BACKGROUND:
On May 1, 1990, the Board of Supervisors referred to the County
Administrator the matter of placing the County Court House as a
nominee for the National Register of Historic Places.
Subsequent to that referral, the Contra Costa County Historical
Society was asked to provide a bid on preparing and processing
the necessary documents. A copy of their proposal is attached.
This is the same process followed to place the Old Jail ( 1904
Edition) and Finance Building on the National Register of
Historic Places.
The Court House with its architectural qualities and
construction are a reflection of workmanship from Contra Costa
County, is deserving of a listing on the National Register of
Historic Places.
