Approve in concept use of available land on Commerce Avenue in Concord for construction of a permanent facility for the Family Stress Center. 2 . Direct County staff to proceed with further exploration of the technical aspects of use of the Commerce Avenue property. 3 . Request that the Family Stress Center staff explore funding sources to supplement available County funds for construction of a facility. BACKGROUND The Family Stress Center Board has requested use of a parcel of county-owned property for construction of a permanent facility for their operations. The Stress Center has been operating from a school building in Pleasant Hill leased from the Mt. Diablo School District since the original building purchased by the County was taken by the Concord Redevelopment Agency. The funds from the sale of the original building were placed in a special fund for replacement of the facility. Interest earnings on the available $300, 000 are being used to pay the lease costs for the Family Stress Center. The Committee reviewed the use of a portion of the Blum Road Corportion Yard site and the property on Commerce Avenue adjacent to the detox facility. The Commerce Avenue site appeared to be preferred for the Family Stress Center due to location, community acceptance and compatibility with adjacent activities. There may be technical .complications to the proposal which must be reviewed further by the General Services Department staff.

CLERK OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR M382/7-83 BY ,DEPUTY -2- FINANCIAL IMPACTS The preliminary estimate of cost for a new facility is approximately $500,000. The Family Stress Center representatives will seek funding from private foundations for the $200,000 additional requirements over the available County funding. The site would be proposed to be leased to the Family Stress Center at $1. 00 per year and the Family Stress Center would be responsible for all maintenance and operational costs of the new facility when completed. The cost to the County would be the loss of use of the site ( for which a $120,000 option is being exercised) , the $300,000 which has been set aside for replacement of the Family Stress Center and the cost of staff time to bring the proposal to a full project status. The Family Stress Center continues to provide a valuable and needed service to the County and the Committee recommends that the preceding proposal be pursued for a permanent, county-owned facility to house the program. cc: Family Stress Center General Services Director County Administrator
