BAC KGROUNDIREASON(S)FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
It is requested that your Board approve the submittal of an application for$25,000 for CDBG funds to complete
restroom improvements to meet ADA guidelines at the El Sobrante Library. The public restrooms at the El Sobrante
Library are inaccessible to persons in wheelchairs. The total project cost to complete the required modifications
is estimated at$48,000. The difference of$23,000 ($48,000 less $25,000)will be funded by County and Library
funds.
This same mechanism was used this fiscal year to complete ADA improvements at the Central Library. The County
received $25,000 CDBG funds for the Central Library project. The total project cost is $75,000. This project
consists of replacement of two sets of entrance doors with sliding doors,replacement of carpeting, installation of?.
ramp from the parking lot,curb cuts,relocation of disabled parking spaces, lowering of a portion of the public check
out counter. All work at the Central Library will be completed by the end of this month.
Board of Supervisor's approval of the CDBG grant application is required in order for the El Sobrante Library ADA
Improvements project to remain eligible for funding consideration.
