FROM: PHIL BATCHELOR, COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR - `
DATE: February 27, 2001 COUNTY
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION FOR SUBMISSION OF APPLICATION FOR COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS (CDBG) FOR ADA IMPROVEMENTS-AT
VARIOUS COURT FACILITIES
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
AUTHORIZE the County Administrator to submit an application for FY 2001/02 CDBG funds to effect ADA
improvements at the Classic Courthouse, 725 Court Street in Martinez, and at Court facilities in Concord, Pittsburg and
Richmond.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The County is eligible to apply for CDBG funds for the purposes of improving the accessibility of County facilities. A
local match of 25 percent is required. This match will not exceed $23,600 and Will be paid through the Plant Acquisition
Budget. While negotiations regarding transfer of ownership of Court facilities are ongoing at the State level, these
facilities are currently under County ownership and are therefore eligible for CDBG funding.
BACKGROUND
The ADA Transition Plan identifies capital facility improvements which enhance accessibility for the disabled at County
owned buildings. Over time, the projects in the ADA Transition Plan are being accomplished in three ways:
1) ADA improvements are incorporated into remodeling and other capital projects,
2) The Plant Acquisition budget funds a number of ADA improvement projects each year, and
3) CDBG grants.
In recent years, ADA improvements at the Central Library in Pleasant Hill and at the EI Sobrante Library were facilitated
through CDBG funds.
This application for CDBG funds will further the replacement of non-compliant drinking fountains and ADA upgrades to
two public restrooms at the Classic Courthouse in Martinez located at 725 Court Street. It will also fund projects in the
Concord, Richmond and Pittsburg court to lower public counters so they are accessible to persons in a wheelchair. The
total budget for these ADA improvements is$70,100. Board authorization Will permit the County A nistrators Office to
continue the application process for CDBG funds.
