Cloverdale plans Scout cabin ADA upgrade and studies 113 Broad Street reuse amid budget review
Summary
The subcommittee reported a $333,000 county grant and CDBG funds for Scout cabin renovations (ADA, kitchen, restrooms) and discussed scoping and architecture for 113 Broad Street reconversion; staff said full costs remain substantial and council direction is needed before further design spending.
Subcommittee members reviewed two facility projects: Scout cabin renovation and conceptual work for 113 Broad Street (the outpost).
For the Scout cabin, staff said the city has a $333,000 county grant with conditions that include space for a District 4 office and CDBG funds to make the building ADA compliant; an architect is producing floor plans and structural, mechanical and electrical reviews. The project scope includes three restrooms (two for public use and one for staff/District 4), a commercial kitchen and site improvements. Staff said the county grant should cover the largest expense but that the full project remains costly.
For 113 Broad Street, staff engaged a Santa Rosa architect to produce a scope of work for redesign and potential conversion to offices and community use; the subcommittee has budgeted $100,000 for design but members recommended clarifying council goals before committing more funds. Staff suggested discussing possible chamber relocation and other uses at a later meeting.
Why it matters: Facility upgrades address ADA compliance and create potential revenue through rentals or office consolidation, but both projects require clear policy direction and funding decisions.
Next steps: Staff will complete architectural scopes and present cost estimates and proposed management responsibilities (including whether a proposed new position will manage rentals) to the council during upcoming budget discussions.
