Because the property has remained vacant for a time period beyond the 180 days allotted by municipal code, it is necessary to commence building improvements immediately in order to retain prospective tenants, as this property has become increasingly marketable. LANDLORD PROVIDED BASE BUILDING WORK Because the building has been vacant for more than the maximum 180 days allowed by the current municipal code, it will be necessary for the Agency to complete the following work in the entire building. These improvements are not specifically for this tenant, but are necessary for any prospective tenant considered for leasing approval at this location. a. Building Fire Sprinkler Protection System Estimated cost: $27,400 b. Exterior Building Lighting The majority of the lighting on the exterior of the building has been vandalized and/or removed. For the sake of security and marketing purposes, staff believes it is necessary to retrofit the damaged and stolen lighting fixtures. Estimated cost: $15,000 c. Building Suite Code Violation And Vandalism The interior of the building over a period of time has been vandalized. Some actual theft of circuit breakers, wiring and toilet fixtures has occurred. Other damage is purely destruction of existing drywall, doors and windows. In addition, previous occupants installed certain improvements (i.e. lighting and specialized wiring) that was not in compliance with then or current code.

Estimated cost: $10,000 d. American Disability Act Requirement To obtain Certificates of Occupancy, it will be necessary that all pedestrian doors be provided with lever hardware. In addition, the restrooms will need to be upgraded to accommodate the physically handicapped. Estimated cost (for the one suite only): $ 3,500 Total expenditures required to provide retrofit construction to bring building to 1992 code compliance. $55,500 Because of the existing municipal building codes, the cost to reuse the facility has, unfortunately, gone from basic repairs to a capital contribution of $55,000. The advantage of completing these needed improvements will be to retain prospective tenants. Recently staff has i been contacted by a prospective tenant for the use of 8,000 square feet. Such a tenant is looking for service ready space with a minimum of down-time. The immediate construction of the necessary improvement will ensure that prospective tenants will not go elsewhere for comparable space. As such, staff is recommending approval of $55,000 to finance code items related to the 5055 Hallmark Parkway building. Funds would not be expended until such time as the Community Development Commission approves an appropriate lease. Staff anticipates the lease document will be considered by the Commission on January 11, 1993 or January 20, 1993. On January 7, 1993 the Redevelopment Committee recommended to the Community Development Commission approval of this matter. Staff recommends adoption of the form motion. Mq&�M KENNETH J.
