to Account No. 110-4159-415-4040.

Discussion:
On May 24, 2007, the City Council approved the purchase of new office furnishings for
the City Council offices area. An appropriation of $28,500 followed this purchase and
was approved at the June 14, 2007 Council meeting to cover improvements such as
painting, carpet, seating, blinds, shelving/storage, and other miscellaneous items to
move forward concurrently with the office furniture. Pricing has now been received for
carpet, seating, and painting which exceeds the previous appropriation. Items that
remain to be purchased are additional shelving, blinds, lighting, installation labor costs,
and miscellaneous accessories. An additional $15,000 is required to complete the
remodel.
The Council offices furniture is over 20 years old and in need of replacement. These
furnishings are mismatched and miscellaneous left over pieces that do not allow for an
optimal configuration of space. Each office was evaluated for the best use of space and
each user's own needs within their work environment.

A total budget of $95,079 including previous approvals and this request will cover all
furniture and remodel expenses. By approval of this request these costs will be split
equally between City and Agency funds for the City Council and Agency board,
respectively.
Staff is recommending appropriation as required for the estimated budget to procure
and complete the proposed project. Sample color choices and materials were displayed
for review in the Council offices conference room at the last City Council meeting.
Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council approve the appropriation of $15,000
for these purchases, and that the Agency Board approve the reimbursement to the City
in the amount of $47,539.
