DECEMBER 6, 1999 <br />TITLE: <br />CONTRACT FOR EMPOWERMENT ZONE <br />MODULAR FURNITURE <br />APPROVED <br />Recommended <br />J As Amended <br />FJ Ordinance on 1st Reading <br />LI Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />LJ Implementing Resolution <br />L3 Set Public Hearing For_ <br />FILE NUMBER A- 1999- 2021-1- <br />Direct the City Attorney to prepare, and authorize the Mayor and the <br />Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Fullmer for the <br />acquisition of modular furniture systems in an amount not to exceed <br />$25,000. <br />On April 19, 1999, the City Council approved an administrative budget <br />for the Empowerment Zone which included funds for the establishment of <br />an Empowerment Zone office. At the time, it was anticipated that the <br />office would he established at the Business and Industry Center on Santa <br />Ana Boulevard. However, that move has not materialized due to lack of <br />space at that facility. <br />Since last spring, the Empowerment Zone staff has been occupying offices <br />on the sixth floor of City Hall and at the Work Center. There is not <br />sufficient room at either place for all staff to be located together or <br />for the addition of a fourth staff member as planned. With the <br />completion of the new Ross Annex, space is now available for Empowerment <br />Zone staff on the fourth floor. On February 1, 1999 the City entered <br />into an agreement with Fullmer Furniture and Services for the purchase <br />and installation of modular furniture systems for the City Hall <br />expansion project. In order to provide consistency with the existing <br />furniture systems in the new facility, staff recommends approving the <br />subject contract with Fullmer Furniture to provide modular furniture <br />systems for the four staff members assigned to the Empowerment Zone <br />project. <br />
