TTEM 1-REPORT BY THE CARRINGTON HALL AD HOC RESTORATION COh�IMITTEE Chairperson Piulle turned the podium over to Carrington Hall Ad Hoc Restoration Committee Chairperson Steve Penna. Mr. Penna introduced members of the City Council, Sequoia Union High School District, and Carrington Hall Ad Hoc Restoration Comnuttee who were in attendance. Mr. Penna explained that one year ago, the Civic Cultural Commission formed the Carrington Hall Ad Hoc Restoration Committee (later refened to as "Conunittee") which met to develop its goals. One of the Committee's goals was to have an architectural and structural study completed of Carrington Hall. The Committee began working with the firm of DES Architects & Engineers who prepared a proposal to complete the study at a cost of $26,500.00. The Conunittee approached the Board of Trustees of the Sequoia Union High School District for funding for this project. Due to budgetary constraints, the District was unable to grant their request. The Committee then approached the Redevelopment Agency for the City of Redwood City for funding and received $13,000.00 towards the study. The Sequoia Alumni Association was also approached and they granted $13,500.00 to help fully fund the study. Mr. Penna stated DES Architects & Engineers completed the architectural and structural study and thanked them for their excellent support. He noted that DES spent considerable time and expense on the project that far exceeded the $26,500.00 cost of the study.
