Title
Stack Center Project: Update on Phasing and Funding Gap
End
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That Council receives this report on the phasing and budget gap for the Stack Center project and provides feedback.
End
SUMMARY
Community members and elected officials have long held the dream of building a new South
Hayward Youth and Family Center at the corner of Tennyson and Ruus Roads, referred to as
the Stack Center. For the past ten years, the City and its partners have worked to raise funds and define the vision for this Center. The purpose of this work session is to give newer Council Members background on this project and outline decisions that will be coming to Council over the next 10 months. In particular, staff is seeking feedback from Council on the funding gap for Phase II construction, which must commence by early 2025 to meet a state grant deadline. The City must either identify sources to close the funding gap by fall of 2024 or scale back the designs with existing funds to meet the grant requirements.
