Agenda Item 3
STAFF REPORT
TO: Budget and Audit Committee Members
FROM: Larry Theis, City Engineer
DATE: August 12, 2024
SUBJECT: Discussion of Proposed Library Renovations
RECOMMENDATION
Discuss current status of potential library renovations in coordination with County Library Staff.
BACKGROUND
The library building in Clayton is owned by the City and the library (operated by County staff)
is a tenant of the building. In general, the County provides the overall service to the community
and the library books and materials. The maintenance and replacement of furnishings and the
building is the responsibility of the City, in conjunction with the Clayton Community Library
Foundation (CCLF). This arrangement is typical of most cities within Contra Costa County.
DISCUSSION
The former City Manager had preliminary discussions with the County Library staff in early
2024 about pursuing a refresh project for the library that would be centered around carpet
replacement and painting of walls. The City would consider a project that would combine
available Living Trust Grant funding (through County Measure X), fundraising with the CCLF,
and a contribution from the City.
County Library Staff volunteered to fund the architectural services of Noll & Tam to prepare
an initial study that would comprehensively evaluate the furniture and shelving and space
upgrades that could be considered in conjunction/prior to a carpet replacement.
On July 2, 2024, the City Clerk and City Engineer met with County Librarian Alison McKee
and Clayton Library Manager Geneva Moss to discuss the potential improvements to the
library identified by Noll & Tam. This list of improvements were a comprehensive shopping list

developed without any specific budget identified and was estimated at $1.37M. It was
understood that this list was beyond the likely budget that the City could afford even with
supplemental grant funding and fundraising. County Library staff agreed to help identify the
prioritize the improvements. When an appropriate budget is identified then the highest
priorities would be considered first and would be discussed with CCLF to reach consensus on
their focus on fundraising in the community. See attached list of improvements.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact is yet to be determined. The desired improvements will influence the budget
limit. The Living Grant Trust is a maximum of $250,000 spread over multiple years. No
discussions have been conducted with CCLF to date about the likely fundraising amount they
can commit toward this renovation project.
The City’s contribution will likely be from the General Fund and/or reserves. There are
currently no funds allocated in the FY24-25 budget or CIP.

Agenda Item 4
STAFF REPORT
TO: Budget and Audit Committee Members
FROM: Adam W. Politzer, Interim City Manager
Larry Theis, City Engineer
DATE: August 12, 2024
SUBJECT: Recommendation for Budget Allocation for Design and Construction
Services for City Hall 3rd Floor Security Modifications Proposal
RECOMMENDATION
Review and provide feedback on Proposed Scope of Work for City Hall 3rd Floor Security
Modifications.
BACKGROUND
City employees working on the 3rd floor of City Hall provide Planning and Administrative
services to the public. In 2023, City employees requested City management to consider
modifying the space to improve security by installing physical barriers to restrict the general
public from accessing beyond the front counter, break room, and individual offices. The public
would generally be limited to the area between the top of the stairs, exiting the elevator, and
the front desk. Partition walls and doors using security cards would be added to restrict the
general public from entering the employee only spaces.
DISCUSSION
The Interim City Manager requested the City Engineer to seek the services of an architect to
design the security modifications. The City Engineer engaged an initial scoping meeting with
Albert Delima, licensed architect with W|A Associates, Inc. based in San Rafael, CA.
Mr. Delima visited the 3rd floor of City Hall, took photos and conducted a site visit with the City
Engineer for approximately 45 minutes on July 24th. Without having specific input from the
client (employees, City Management), he listed general modifications that would likely be
incorporated into the design to secure the space while maintaining the existing open-air

atmosphere which include: glass doors, wood framing, drywall, service counter/cabinet,
window modifications, flooring, patching and painting, cable railing modifications, railing,
sprinkler adjustments, signage, alarm modifications, and electrical rerouting.
Architectural services would include a preliminary assessment and schematic design that
would include the deliverable of an interior rendering that would be reviewed by the City.
Design drawings and construction documents would be prepared to obtain bids from
contractors. Bid evaluation and construction support services would be provided, including
punch list inspection of the project.
FISCAL IMPACT
A construction estimate has not been prepared since the design of the modifications will likely
have considerable input from the City. However, in an effort to consider a budget allocation
for this project, the City Engineer was able to work with the architect to develop a preliminary
range of cost in order for the City Council to understand the relative magnitude of cost for
these improvements.
The rough range of the total cost is $142,000 to $222,000 which is highly dependent on the
extent of the improvements and consideration for aesthetics. On the low end, it would be
expected the construction cost would be $110,000 and $32,000 for architect design services
and city engineer project management. On the high end, it would be expected the construction
cost would be $178,000 and $44,000 for architect design services and city engineer project
management.
