(SR 06:012) Mr. Fialho provided a summary of the joint workshop with the Civic Arts Commission and Council in September 2005 where staff presented its long-term plans for the currently vacated Firehouse located on Railroad Avenue. The workshop also included a presentation by the project consultants, ELS Architecture and Urban Design, who laid out the capital costs to provide Council and the Commission a complete picture of the total cost of the project assuming the uses would be built out; the uses in the facility currently contemplated include a theater, classrooms as well as an art gallery. One of the recommendations that came out of the workshop was for staff to spend some time breaking out the capital costs in such a way that it could paint the picture of what the programmatic activities would be assuming that Council would choose to phase the project rather than completing the entire project. The Council also received an update at the workshop from the Pleasanton Cultural Arts Foundation, which is seeking to supplement the City's allocation of $5.25 million for construction of the facility. Jim Wolfe, Director of Parks and Community Development, presented the staff report. Kurt Schindler and Ed Noland, project consultants with ELS Architecture and Urban Design, presented a visual presentation of project Scenarios One and Two that would allow for an incremental approach to the construction and funding of this project, including the community process, initial cost estimates related to operating the new facility and programming the art gallery. Mr. Schindler also provided an initial cost estimate associated with potential improvements at Lions Wayside Park, should the Alameda County Transportation corridor be acquired by the City. If Council chose Scenario Two and knowing the City had allocated $5.25 million dollars with a construction start date of November 6, Mayor Hosterman asked if it would provide the Pleasanton Cultural Arts Foundation ample time to be able to raise the additional funds necessary to begin the project on time?
