DATE: October 1, 1996 Tq �eUn
SUBJECT: REFER TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE THE ISSUE OF FUNDING FOR
PITTSBURG VETERAN'S BUILDING
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to the Finance Committee the issue of analyzing a
proposal to provide funding for the Pittsburg Veteran's Building. This plan should include the removal
of the existing building and analysis of a lease/purchase plan for a new building in Pittsburg.
Request the Lease Management Division to provide a report to the Finance Committee at their
October 7th meeting on the breakdown of funding to veteran's buildings for the last five fiscal years
(FY91/92 through FY 95/96). Request the Lease Management Division to work with members of the
Finance Committee, the Pittsburg Veteran's representatives, and City of Pittsburg officials to develop
a long-range operational budget.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The facility currently being used by the Pittsburg Veteran's
Group is in a state of serious disrepair. A group of local veterans have been actively developing
proposals for either rehabilitation of the current site or relocation to a new facility. Representatives of
the City of Pittsburg have expressed some interest in participating financially to assist the veterans in
their goal. The local veteran's group and county officials have identified relocation to a new site as
the most viable alternative at this point. The Board of Supervisors have already recognized the need
for a better veteran's facility through the allocation of seed money for these proposals ($70,000 from
Keller Community mitigation funds). County and veteran's group representatives are currently
working with City of Pittsburg officials and the Pittsburg Economic and Housing Development
Corporation to evaluate a new site. In addition, the veteran's group is developing a plan to identify
resources for ongoing operations and maintenance costs of a new facility and demolition of the
current building.
