Joint Planning with City of Concord on Civic Center
SUBJECT: 1 5100
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOPAY ENDATION
Authorize County Administrator to participate in joint master plan
effort with the City of Concord on proposed Olympic High School
site .purchase and within existing civic center.
BACKGROUND
The Concord City Council has unanimously agreed to pursue the
feasibility of acquiring the former Olympic High School site in
downtown Concord as a potential site for two or three major public
buildings. Options at this stage include a new police facility,
library and courts. County staff have been engaged in preliminary
and general discussions regarding mutual benefits to both the City,
the County and school district to maximize public uses on the
property.
If the City of Concord proceeds with the purchase, the County would
be interested in joining the City in a master plan effort that
would provide an opportunity to consolidate services for a
multitude of local government uses and maximize parking
opportunities.
The County currently owns the existing courts wing in the City
complex. The County also leases space on the south side of Willow
Pass Road for the District Attorney, Public Defender and Traffic
Courts. Past studies have demonstrated that the expansion
potential of the existing court site is extremely limited and would
be costly to implement. The long-term benefits of a new court
facility adjacent to a City police and other public facilities on
the Olympic School site appears to be a better solution to future
municipal court needs. ►.

-2-
A joint master plan effort with focus on maximizing the use of the
school property while consolidating services in the Concord area
provides an historic opportunity for potential long-term public
benefits. We believe the County' s best interests would be served
by directing this office to join the City of Concord in this
planning effort.
FISCAL IMPACT
No direct fiscal impact at this time. Any significant costs for
capital improvement planning and facilities would be brought back
for Board consideration.
