Item to be presented by: George Caravalho DATE: February 9, 1999 SUBJECT: BOYS & GIRLS CLUB FACILITY AT SIERRA VISTA JR. HIGH DEPARTMENT: City Manager RECOMMENDED ACTION City Council receive report regarding the proposed Boys & Girls Club facility on the Sierra Vista Jr. High campus, and authorize the expenditure of $500,000 from account #F3004001- 8001, which was previously allocated by the City Council for this purpose. BACKGROUND In conjunction with the 1998/99 Fiscal Year Mid -Year Budget Process, the City Council allocated $500,000 as a contribution towards a new Boys & Girls Club facility, which will be constructed on the Sierra Vista Jr. High campus. Such a facility is greatly needed in the eastern portion of the City, and will benefit many local youth. As shown in the attached proposed site plan, the facility will be constructed where the softball field currently stands, and the softball field will be relocated to the northeast corner of the campus. The facility will be similar in size to the Boys & Girls Club facility located at Newhall Park, and as shown in the attached proposed floor plan, it will include a stage, a teen center, a full-size gymnasium, several classrooms, and other functional areas. It will be used by Club, the School, and other community organizations, as is the case with the current Newhall facility. Additional funding for the proposed building will come from the Boys & Girls Club, and that portion of the cost representing usage by the school will be borne by the William S. Hart School District. The funding allocated by the Council is to assist the Boys & Girls Club in bearing the portion not paid by the District. FISCAL IMPACT The recommended action authorizes the expenditure of $500,000 towards the construction of the new facility. Since the funds were previously allocated by the City Council in conjunction with the 1998/99 Mid -Year Budget Process, there is no new fiscal impact.
