The total appropriation of $157,233 is for the proposed remodel of the

Works Departments, the City Council office area, and the North Wing. The
appropriations above establish the respective budget divisions of 50% from the

the Agency's unobligated Housing Set Aside funds.
Discussion:
At the June 1, 2006, Budget Study Session, the City Council gave the directive to establish a
budget to remodel the Redevelopment lobby and the conference rooms located in the City
Council's office, Public Works, Planning, and the North Wing. Staff submitted the budget for
review at the July 24, 2006, Executive Management Meeting. Executive Management has
reviewed and approved this budget for submission to the City Council for consideration.
The budgeted amount of $157,233 takes advantage of many government discounts, which give
up to 60% off of many list prices. Funds need to be appropriated from the City's Unobligated
Funds for these purchases. Staff is recommending appropriation as required for the selected
furniture as shown on the colorboards for these proposed projects. Sample color boards with
material choices will be available for review in the City Council's Conference Room during the
week of August 21, 2006. The designs have been focused around renewable and recycled
