STAFF REPORT
Staff is seeking your approval for the Executive Director to sign a building
permit for the rehabilitation of the YWCA building.
Background
Staff is presently negotiating with the representatives of the Young Women's
Christian Association (YWCA) for their purchase of the facility located at 566
North Lugo Ave., San Bernardino.
Prior to the close of the above escrow, YWCA has applied for Building permits to
allow for a major rehabilitation of the existing structure now occupied by them.
Said rehabilitation will include complete replacement of drop ceiling, improvement
of electrical system, restructuring of non-bearing interior walls to create new
and improved office facilities, facade improvement, restructure of ceiling at
foyer to accomodate new skylights and exterior entry and overall improvements.
Estimated cost of rehabilitation is *350,000 with the majority of labor to be
supplied by building ~rade Volunteers.
The above described improvements are presently underway and were initiated by the
creation of a new day-care facility to be added to the services offered by the
YWCA to the community.
Policy of the Building Department requires either the contractor or the
owner-builder to execute the application for respective building permits and to
provide necessary workman compensation insurance coverage for the term of the
construction period.
The services of the YWCA are an asset to the community at large, therefore, Staff
desires to assist them in achieving a self supportive management. On 2/2/87
staff sought approval of COlDIDission to sign the building permit for the YWCA
rehabilitation as owner of the property. The Commission moved that the YWCA sign
as long term tenant and that the City consider waiving the fees.
The Mayor and Common Council on 2/9/87 approved the waiver of fees to the Agency
as owner. It was the legal opinion at that meeting that fees for a private
organization could not be waived. Staff hereby requests the formal approval of
the Commission granting authorization to the Executive Director to sign on behalf
of the Agency for the necessary permits.
