BACKGROUND
The Contra Costa County Community Development Department (CDD) purchased a Green Building
Material Display with grant funding from the State. The Display is currently located in the CDD offices
on the 4th Floor, North Wing of 651 Pine Street in Martinez. This 7 ft high by 4 ft wide Display contains
more than fifteen environmentally benign construction materials, such as carpet made with recycled
plastic water bottles and counter top made with recycled glass bottles. The Display is intended to give
the public an opportunity to learn about and view samples of environmentally conscious building
materials that can be used in new homes or in remodeling projects.
When the Display was purchased, staff envisioned loaning the Display temporarily to other
jurisdictions in the County so it could be displayed in various locations which would encourage a wider
range of local builders to use green building materials. The City of Antioch will sponsor and staff a
booth at the Antioch Home and Garden Show on October 13th- 15th. Staff from the City has asked to
borrow the Display for a limited duration to exhibit it at the Show and their City offices.
Because of the large size of the Display, an MOU was prepared to protect the County against any
liability resulting from relocation of the Display. Furthermore,the MOU would require the City to repair
or replace the Display if it is damaged while in the care, custody, or control of City staff, however
caused.
