The purchase was a part of the land <br />acquisition for the Cinema Project. The building is now vacant. Even while the building <br />was occupied, there were problems with people breaking into and sleeping in the <br />vacant spaces and the rear alley. Now that the building is entirely vacant, staff is <br />concerned that maintenance and security problems will increase. Regardless of the <br />Council's final decision on the Cinema, this building needs to be torn down for health <br />and safety reasons. <br /> <br />To allieviate security and maintenance concerns, on September 10,2002, the City, on <br />behalf of the Redevelopment Agency, issued a request for bids for demolition of the <br />building. Related to this, the Redevelopment Agency is currently conducting the <br />necessary lead and asbestos studies prior to demolition. <br /> <br />On October 16, 2002, the bids for demolition were opened at 3:00 P.M. in the Office of <br />the City Engineer.
