Recommendation
That Council adopts resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to transfer and appropriate $128,150 from the General Fund to the Facilities Capital Improvement Fund Project No. 07222, for the security and infrastructure repair to Old City Hall located at 22738 Mission Blvd.

SUMMARY
The City of Hayward’s Old City Hall on Mission Blvd. has remained vacant for over 40 years, and while staff has been diligent in maintaining its exterior facade, its deteriorating condition presents significant safety concerns. Multiple decades of its known vacancy have led to vandalism, structure fires and water intrusion caused by broken windows, the damaged roof and the fact that it is located directly on the Hayward Fault has led to the building being deemed unsafe for city staff and emergency personnel to access or maintain. Given the deteriorating state of the structure, coupled with the likelihood of its ultimate demolition, it is crucial that a series of minimal repairs are made to ensure the building's security and address immediate infrastructure needs.
