BACKGROUND: This project will remodel two restrooms in the Town owned building occupied by the Los Gatos- Saratoga Recreation Department to bring the facility into compliance with the Americans with Disability Act (ADA). This project is consistent with the Town's goals to improve public health and safety and meets the eligibility requirements for this State grant program.

If Council approves this project, it will be advertised, a construction contract will be presented to Council for award on May 21, 2007, and construction will begin in June of 2007.
