RACKgRgm
In May 1998 the Board of Supervisors agreed to retain O'Brien Kreitzberg to prepare a Building
Evaluation Report on the North Wing and the South Tower at 551 Pirie St. O'Brien Kreitzberg
and their consultants, The Ratcliff architects, Forell Elsesser Structural Engineers and Gayner
MechanicaMectricalTlumbing Engineers, completed the Building Evaluation Report in
"november 1998. The report concluded that the building had outlived its useful life and that
replacement of the administration building was less costly than repairing and upgrading the
building.
1n December 1998 the Board of Supervisors authorized the financing of a neva Family Law/ Center
in downtown Martinez.
On April 6, 1999,the Board of Supervisors agreed toretain Ross Drulis Architects&Planners,to
design the new Family Law Center. In addition,the Board authorized Ross Drulis to study
potential alternative sites for the Family Law Center to assure that the new courthouse is not built
on a site that would be better suited to the new County Governmental Complex.
On May 25, 19994 the Board of Supervisors approved the County Administrator's
recommendations regarding the clustering of certain legislative and administrative functions into a
new Governmental Complex, directed the County Administrator to explore the feasibility of
relocating Building Inspection and Community Development to Glacier give, and acknowledged
that the two optimal sites for further study for the Family Law Center included the pang lot
adjacent to 11.11 Ward Street and the block that now houses the Assessor's office. The attached
memo from O'Brien Kreitzburg shows the location and building orientation of the Family Lav?
Center on these two sites.

The deadline for the RFP for 150,000-250,000 sq re feet of office space expired Monday,June 7, 1999,
at 5 p.m. This requirement was advertised in the, antra Costa Times,the Sara Ranson Valley Times,the
doch Ledger,and the'Fest Contra,Costa Times,, d sent to all gent listings on the Lease Management
mailing list.
I received not more that twelve specific calls on th4t ad and mailer. From the twelve*uirics,f receiYed
three submittals as follows:
b. 1311,000 square feet of office,R&D,and warehouse space with room for expansion at 2380 and 2400
Disse Lane, Concord, submitted by Cornish and Carey Real Estate. Some in-depth steady would be
required to determine if laboratory and warehouse areas on this site could be converted to suitable office
space. Two existing buildings on the site would have to be expanded to satisfy the ininimurn space
requirements.
2. A 91. acre development site in the North Concord area submitted by Commercial Real Estate Services.
This property is now off the market, according to Rave meager of ORES,an offer has bead accepted,
and the propertyis now in escrow at a sales price of$7.00 per square feet.
3. A last-minute submittal was received from Grubb and Ellis regarding a 5%acre site oda the northeast
corner of Willow Pass Road and Water World Park vay in Concord. According to Scutt Ellis,the Siino
Company now owns the property and has approval for the development of two 200,000 square foot,ten-
story office buildings,with 3A-to 4/1000 parking.These buildings will be oared fbr rent in the$2.05
-$2.225 square foot age,full service,with a$15.00 per square foot tenant improvement,allowance. I
understand that one or both of hese planned buildings might be available for sale. Scott Ellis has
provided a marketing brochure showing a typical Hoerr plan and details on the design of the proposed
development.
To try knowledge,there are no other buildings available at this'time that can provide such a large amount
of'space or another property that could be quickly developed to satisfy this requirement.

Message:
As discussed by telephone and mymemorandum to Dura Lockwood, we Deed to
prepare a cost analysis of sites C and D. Attached you will find a diagrammatic
outline for this analysis. 1 reviewed this proposal with Laura and she agrees with my
approach. Please prepare the following information to support this analysis.
1. A programmatic layout of the Family Law Court for Option A and Option B.
For purposes of this exercise assume that the entire 32,000-sf program is new
construction. You may also include a growth factor of up to 20% to allow for an
efficient "stacking" sof space requirements.
2. A thumb nail perspective sketch of the building bass for each option. This
perspective should allow the public to understand the bulk and position of the new
structures.
3. A conceptual level cost estimate for each option. This estimate should
include building construction casts, county and project administrative mark-ups
(50% of construction costs) and an allowance for building demolition costs.
Assure the existing structures contain lead-based paint throughout.
C have suggested to Laura that we postpone the next presentation to the Board of
Supervisors until completion of this study. Please respond as soon as possible with
a realistic time frame to complete your effort. O'Brien Kreitzberg will
independently prepare a site development and project schedule for each option.
We will also assist the county in obtaining a hazardous materials and soils analysis
of each site.
Please call so we can discuss this proposal further. We can also address any
contractual issues at that time.

REGARDING PARKING IN MARTINEZ
DOWNTOWN' AND COUNTY CIVIC CENTER
PO-SE
This report covers parking to meet the near and lure term demands for parking to serve
the County civic center area in light of the addition of a family law court.
The parking plan covers two phases:
I. NEAR TERM PROGRAM: 400 spaces of additional parking and a shuttle bus.
2. LONG TERM PROGRAM: 242 spaces of additional parking in a parking
structure.
PA RKINA2z �A
NEAR TERM PROGRAM: The near term program adds 400 parking spaces in the
downtown and County civic center area, which includes the following:
I. Construction has been completed for 168 new spaces of parking (approximately 86
spaces will be used during construction of the new Amtrak station between July 1,
1999 and June 30, 2000) and a bus terminal at the City's Intermodal Station in the
Perry Street at?Marina Vista location. While these spaces are not in the immediate
vicinity of the County civic center, they will relieve the overall parking deficiency
in the downtown and County civic center area. Exhibit A is a location neap
showing the parking and bus terminal configuration
1 The City restriped key streets to produce an additional 38 spaces in the center of
downtown. Exhibit B shows the additional spaces.
3. The City secured (on May 4, 1999) the approval of the East Bay Regional Parks
District to use parking facilities north of the UP tracks. The City will improve the
surface, restripe the area,provide safety improvements, signage and two bus
shelters. Exhibit C shows the parking layout and location.
This area will produce 202 additional spaces until the family court is constructed.
E This parking area will be served by a shuttle bus operated by CCCTA and jointly
paid for by CC TA and the City of Martinez. The parking area will be designated
as free juror parking and the shuttle bus will operate on a schedule and rete that is
designed to serve the court's jury system. Exhibit D is a report from CCCTA. on
the bus program. This juror parking and shuttle system will provide relief to the
County owned lots and on street demand in the County civic center area.
The City is ori to build a permanent parking structure of at least 242 spaces on
City owned land at Escobar Street, adjacent to the Community College District offices on
lot 4. The City has employed International Parking Designs, E. Wagner & Associates,
Investment Banking and other consultants to design, finance and build this structure.
Exhibit E is the parking structure plan. This parking structure can be built for up to 500
spaces if additional parking is needed at the time of construction or thereafter.
PARKING INFORMATION
I. The City is producing parking information brochure which identifies the City's
parking, shuttle and related services. This brochure will be keyed to a new parking
signage program the City will be instituting. The information was designed for the
public and users of the County civic center, including jurors, employees and
others. The brochure was done in cooperation with the court administration and is
for their use to provide jurors. Exhibit E is the draft of the parking brochure.
2. The City will provide a new parking signage program to identify public, county
and juror parking areas, beginning at City entries and leading to the parking areas.
The signage is keyed to the parking infon-nation brochure. Exhibit G is a sample of
the new signage program.

The City of Martinez is in the process of addressing its revitalization project for its downtown
core area. Part of the revitalization project is the City's Intermodal Station, including 168 new
spaces of ping, ars bftmodal bus temurW and a new Amtrak and Capital (BART) Min
station. The puking bus terminal are complete and the train sten will begin in June 1999.
Part two of the revitalization project is the Alhambra Creek 'Flood Control and Beautification
project, which is now under construction, Dart three of the revitalization project is to develop a
permanent parking structure (the "eject') to serve the downtown she County and
CourWCivic meter project. The proposed Project is to build a new multi-lovel structure on its
current surface parking lot,called Parking Lot#4. The structure will contain up to 290 spaces of
metered parking and a commercial"cc to provide for local business needs.
The parking mcturc will be steed to provide primarily expanded parking demands for local
business and County and court uses. The facility will be incorporated into the City Parking
Special District administered by City , overnm,ent for the use and benefit of the downtown area
and she Contra Costa County's Civic Center and the Superior 'Municipal Court and related
facilities.
PltO,MCT
4... The proposed parking structure site is Parking dot#4 located in the downtown area of the City.
The site is bounded by Escobar Street on the South, Ferry Street on the west and, Marina'Vista.
Street on the north side. The proposed parking structure will be a three bay gide, 2 113 level
structure with sixty-degree (60*) and ninety-degree (90 angle of parking, to accommodate
approximately 280 parking spaces and approximately 8,000 square feet of commercialiretail
space, Access to the structure will be provided on the north and south sides along Marin&"lista
Street and Escobar Sit. Strain and elevator access will be provided at north and south ends of
the structure.
The structure will be a long spat., post-tensioned concrete structure to provide column five,
easily accessible, convenient puking for the users. The structure will have precW and cvt-in-
place concrete exterior with articulation, dors and treatment to provide architectural fade of
high quality. The building mass,landscaping and design would be respectful and sensitive to the
misting as well as proposed downtown architectural style and will help set the standards for
other projects.
The parking will be controlled by meters located at each stall. It is anticipated that 50% of the
parking will be for visitors to the downtown area and 50% will be for employees who work in
the downtown area. The lower floors will be designated for visitor parking with shot trine-limit
and higher rata meters($0.50/hour with -hour limit). The upper flogs will be assigned to long-
term
employee parking with lower rate and longer meta duration. (possibly $0.25Ohour with 10-
hour limit).

rrently, on-street and off-street parking revenues generate approximately $20,000 (net) per

annual revenue amount is anticipated to be S80,000. Thrrefore, even with these additional
revenges, parking revenues will not be sufficient to pay the total costs of operating the facility.

If the City goes forward with this Project, the City will need to fund the ual (prof )
operating deficit as well as, fund the Project Costs (once again estimated to be 53.955 million).

The following is a brief discussion of the alternatives available to the City to finance the project
Costs and the annual operating deficit.

The City currently has a parking district in the downtown area that was formed in 1955 in
accordance with the State Parking District Law of 1951 MMsion 18, lout 4 Streets and
Highways Code sof California). According to its authorizing resolution, the district oan issue
bonds to be paid with the revenues from the parking facilities (built with bond proceeds) the
revenues from parking meters along the suvets in the district, or ad valorem assessments on.
property in the district. The power to lovythe ad valorem assessments for new facilities may be
in jeopardy as a result of the passage of Proposition 13, and the resulting amendment to the
California Constitution, Section XIIIA does prevent the levying of such assessment.. "Therefore,
we would recommend the City foam a. new district under the Vehicle Parking District .law of
1943.
The Vehicle Puldng District Law of 1943 (the "Law"') provides for the acquisition and
development of parking facilities through the formation of an assessment district under the 1913
Act and the issuance of bands under the 1915 Act(the same.Acts utilized to fora the Alhambra
Creek Flood Control District and issue bonds). ander the Law, the costs of the parldng project
ua assessed against individual properties in proportion to the benefits receive& Each assessment
represents a fixed lien against the real property benefited. One feature of the Law is that it
specifically permits a public agency to apply surplus parking revenues as a credit toward the
unpaid assessments. When used in parking operations,the Law allows for greater flexibility than
do other assessment district procedures, The legislative body appoints a Board of Puking place
Con=issioners to grate the parking facilities when they are completed, acquired or assembled.
The commission sets the fees and rental rates for the use of the facilities and has the power to
operate,manage and control parking places. 'This includes the power to Mater into lease contracts
and to grant franchises to operate the facilities. Therefore, in theory the City would form the
District, lien all the properties in the District for their prorata share of the costs of the parking
facility. Annually, the City would collect the parldrag revenues, utilize thein to font pay the
associated operating costs of the facility, determine the amount of the surplus of revenues from
the parking revenues, credit that amount against the next years assessment, and only the net
assessment would be levied annually against the properties in the District,
CERTM~A3 ES OF PARTICIPATION
C=ertificates of participation we a subset of the general financing t�bzique sown as
lease/purchase financing, Within the ®exempt realm a lease/purchase or installment sale
obligation is an armgernent whercupo n a inunicipality in consideration for the use of equipment
and/or real property conwtots to make least payments over a specified period of time. At the
conclusion of this cantac the lessee(municipality)has the right to purchase the leased capital
items at a nominal amount (usually$1) or ownership may have already transfwed by reason of
an installment sale oontmet. If the financing is structured contetly to med the requirernents

established by the federal government, the lease payments to they lessor we exempt from Weral
and state income taxation. The lessor, therefore, requires a louver rate of return from the
financial contract Tease); lowering the interest costs to the lessee. The City has now, through
this financial instrutn t,accessed the taxa-exempt debt market.t. The;City his used Certificates of
Participatior-to finance the expansion of City Ball and the construction of improvements nts for the
Water System.
The major advantage of a certificate of participation financing mechanism is that it does not
require voter approval. In California, the legislative body (i.e., City Council) is empowered to
enter into lease/purchase financings.
.e other issue one must consider when contemplating ag a lease/purchase g is
"where is the revenue going to name from in order to make the annual debt service payment?"
In the case of an assessment district (and to reason why voter approval is required) the annual
debt ser vice is paid through the levying of an assessment against property in the District" It the
case of certificates of participation, the annual lease payment is typically paid with exams City
funds and/or excess revenues over expenditures.ndi s. 7herefore, no ntw tax is gazierated and,
(therefore),the basis for why voter approval is not required for this type of ,
The City's current financial cor4tions may or may not allow the city to 'look to"
existing excess revenues nue s aver annual expenditures to make the(proposed) annual lease payments
or to suppl=ent the;p 'ng revenues to cover the anticipated annual deficit, Th�fore, if the
sty's current financial position requires that all of its operating revenues be committed to
providing on-going services, then in order to use this type of financing mechanism a now tax
would also need to be established to Amd the(anticipated)annual deficit.
Some options available to the city would be l a sales tax override in the ural.Business
District to provide these additional revenues or 2) a tax increment financing district that could
also overlay the Central Business District. The ales tax overlay would create new tax revenue
for the City. The tax increment financing district would be new revenues,however,the revenues
are revenues that otherwise would go to the City's general fund to support city services (Le.,
police, fire,street maintenance,etc.). Also,the majority of the large commercial facilities in the
Central Business District am owned by government entities and, are not uutable properties.s. Any
growth in their assessed value (a contradiction in terms because they have no assessed valuta by
definition) would not generate any additional property tax increment for the District Therefore,
the most viable of the two alternatives is a sales tax override. The sales tax override would
wire 28rds(majority)voter approval to implement.
EDA GRANT
EDA,grants are for the purpose of generating new private sector jobs in distressed co unities.
The type of facilities financed with grant funds vary. Parking facilities have been financed with
EDA grant funds. The issue is that the facility financed with the EDA grant monies must
generate new private sector gobs. As a general rule, the EDA is looldrtg for the creation of one
private sector,fob ger$10,000 of grant monies provided. Therefore, Sl million of grant money
must mate 100 new private sector jobs.
The grant amount as compared to the matching local funds is dependent upon the stress level of
the art(i.e.,per capita income,unernployrnent rate,out-migration rate, etc.), B Lied on this,the
amount of the grant monies and the City's participation for the Project can only be determined
after an in-depth review and analysis by EDA staff: However, as .a general rule, EDA grants
average X1;52 million per applicant depending upon 1) the distressed level of the community 2)
number of private sector jobs meted by the Project and 3)the amount of monies the local
jurisdiction to contribute to the funding.
SUMMARY
The City is in the process of addressing its revitalization project for its&Wntown core arca, An
element of that project is to develop a permanent parking structure (the `Troje el) to serve the
downtown area, the County and the CooaxWCivic Center project, The Project as determined by
the City's parking consultant is a 2 1/3 level structure on the currently City owned Parking Lot
° The structure will contain up to 280 parking spaces and 8,000 square feet of
commercialfretail space.
The Project is estimated to cost S4,155,000. Annual net revenues from all park' facilities will
not be sufficient to pay they total coasts of operating the facility(including paying the annual dent
service costs for the Project), Therefore, if the City goes forward with this Project the City will
need to fund the projected annual operating deficit,as well as, finance the.Project,
Some of the alternatives presented include,
the formation of an assessment district(similar to the Alhambra Croek Flood Control
District) and issue bonds secured by the parldrig revenues and an assessment against
all the properties in the district(to fund any deficits),
issue certificates of participation and hand the armual lease paymwts with parking
revenues and exams revenues in the general fund,
supplement either one of the above mentioned (twee) alternatives with pial funding
from an EDA Grant,and finally
mitigate any anticipated operating deficits with an increase in parking rates,
CONCLUSION
Sim there are several alteratives to explore for financing the parking re, at this time it is
recommended that the City Council commit to building the pig structure from parking
revenues and other current revenues available to the City. It is further recommended that the
Council direct Staff to explores all financing altemtives for the Project and put fourth a report that
F, recommends the financing structure. In addition,this report should include a recommendation ndation as
to the operator/builder for the Prole 4 including exploring a private operator/builder operator/buildercontract.
