REMODELING, 40 GLACIER DRIVE,MARTINEZ FOR 254-9702/B.4.1
SHERIFF DISPATCH(WH354C,D) June 2, 1998
C. In December,the Sheriff determined that the temporary Dispatch Center does not have enough work
stations to properly handle a countywide emergency. Consequently,on January 27, 1998 (Agenda
Item C-57), the Board 1) found that an emergency exists, 2) delegated authority to the General
Services Director to proceed in the most expeditious manner to remodel the 40 Glacier Drive
Dispatch Center, 3) directed the General Services Director to make reports to enable the Board to
reviewthe emergency actions and to determine that there is a need to continue the action, and 4)
declared that the project, as an emergency, is exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act.
D. The condition that the Board found to be an emergency on January 27 continues to exist. That is,
the temporary facility at 1960 Muir Road is serving as the Dispatch Center while the remodeling of
the permanent facility at 40 Glacier Drive is in progress on an urgent basis. Therefore,it is necessary
to continue the emergency action previously taken by the Board so that the remodeling can be
completed in the shortest time possible.
E. Lease Management Division negotiated a lease for temporary space at 827 Arnold Drive, Suites
80 and 230,in Martinez,to house the administrative personnel who are displaced by the remodeling
of 40 Glacier Drive. The administrative personnel vacated 40 Glacier Drive and occupied the
