IV. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Mountain View School has been surplused by the School Board of
the Martinez School District on May 29 , 1993 . As a matter of law the
Board has offered the sixty day notice to all jurisdictions. That
notice time limit ended September 7 , 1993 and the decision was made
at the School Board meeting on September 14, 1993 to negotiate the
use of the site with the community and the Community Services
Department.
The CSD has been an active participant with the community and the
School Board in the decision making process for the, site. The
general consensus of the neighborhood is to keep the site for a
community center, child care, and recreation. The School Board has
concurred.
This proposal seeks to lease the school building and grounds with
option to buy. The CSD proposes to take the lead to develop the
site in collaboration with the American Indian Cultural Associa-
tion, Tosco Oil, the Mt. View Neighborhood Association, Black
Families Association, and other committed community groups and to
negotiate the lease at minimum cost due to the present condition of
the structure.
By obtaining control of the site the CSD and community groups can
identify and apply for funds through CDBG, Head Start, and various
other State, Federal and Foundation grants. Tosco refining has
agreed to do pro bono Architectural, Engineering, and asbestos
review if this site control is achieved.
