BACKGROUND:
County Office Building 3 or COB3 is the new cutting edge home of the San Mateo County employees and is located in the heart of historic Redwood City. The nearly 208,000 square foot building is constructed of Mass Timber featuring wood columns, beams, and Cross Laminated Timber floor decks. The timber frame criterion was selected for structural and environmental benefits as wood dramatically lowers the building’s carbon footprint by reducing the reliance on structural steel and concrete. The building will also be designed to be “Net Zero” energy as an unwavering reflection of the County’s commitment to sustainability and leading by example.
DISCUSSION:
The Office of the District Attorney is requesting that the Board authorize the District Attorney to apply departmental reserve funding in its budget to cover the one-time costs for the additional furniture, fixture, and equipment build-out and technology needs for occupancy into COB3.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of the ATR will provide the necessary funds needed to cover the one-time costs associated with the District Attorney’s Office occupancy into COB3.
