suBJECT: City of Pittsburg Civic Center Master Planning
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Accept report from the County Administrator on County participation in the
master planning for the City of Pittsburg Civic Center Complex;
2. Authorize and Direct the County Administrator to continue to work with the
City of Pittsburg in their master planning effort.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The changes in parking and access to all buildings in the Civic Center as proposed
in the City of Pittsburg's new master plan would require the County to expend a
minimum of $200,000 to realign the access to the County building at 45 Civic Drive.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Pittsburg recently resolved to proceed with a master plan for their civic
center, which includes the County building housing the Delta Municipal Court and
other functions. The Civic Center site encompasses the Pittsburg School District
Administration, Chamber of Commerce, National Guard Armory, Pittsburg Branch
Library and several City offices in addition to the County building. The proposed
plan would reorganize and add space to the City offices and relocate all of the
current parking to the center of the complex which is at the rear of the County
Building. The City plan proposes to turn the current parking along Civic Drive into
landscaping and open space. The reversal of the parking location and. the
reorientation of the building access to what is now the rear of the building creates
very serious issues of court security, in-custody access management, building
maintenance and internal building circulation. Mitigation proposals include

construction of a new building lobby at the-rear of the building, removal of a storage
building and rebuilding the sally port for in-custody control. The cost for the
required reorientation of the access would cost an estimated $200,000 excluding any
mitigation for the security and circulation issues. The City Council has declined to
pay the cost of any changes to the County Building or access required as a result
of their proposed plan.
The City has taken the position that if the County does not concur in the proposed
plan they will proceed with a plan that includes demolition of the city jail presently
being used for in-custody court holding cells. If the County agrees to participate
in the plan they will retain the holding cells. The Delta Court judges have informed
the City staff that potential changes in court organization may reduce or eliminate
the importance of the holding cell issue.
Although there is no funding currently available for court expansion and future
organizational changes for the courts is uncertain it is desirable to continue to work
with the City on the master plan in order to preserve future expansion options for
the County building and the courts. City staff have indicated that continued
discussion of the County concerns may provide solutions that may be acceptable to
both agencies and allow for an improved civic center with increased parking on a
shared basis for everyone.
