AGENDA TITLE: Check Presentation by Hutchins Street Square Foundation
MEETING DATE: February 5, 2014
PREPARED BY: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mayor Katzakian accept a ceremonial check from the Hutchins
Street Square Foundation.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Fiscal Year 2013/14 budget includes $45,000 to replace most
of the original carpet at Hutchins Street Square, but the replacement
cost for carpet with a nearly identical pattern is nearly $80,000. The
Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department (PRCS) does
not have the funds to cover the difference.
Thanks to the fundraising efforts of the Hutchins Street Square Foundation, the PRCS Department will
not have to settle for replacing only the most worn sections or substituting a lower-cost pattern. The
Foundation brought back its Holiday Gala for the first time in eight years on December 7, 2013, and
raised the funds needed to cover the difference, which will result in replacement of all of the ground -floor
meeting room and hallway carpeting.
Members of the Hutchins Street Square Foundation board will present Mayor Katzakian with a
ceremonial check symbolizing their financial commitment to the carpet replacement project and update
the City Council on past and future events.
