Executive Summary
For more than a decade, the Palo Alto History Museum (PAHM) has engaged in various
strategies and activities to raise funds from private and public sources to undertake a seismic
and historical rehabilitation of the Roth Building, 300 Homer Avenue, and to operate a historical
museum at this location. This staff report is intended to provide an update on the direction
provided to staff at the December 17, 2018 City Council meeting (CMR 9767) including the
validation of fundraising by PAHM as performed and reported by an outside firm. The report
builds on information provided in the most recent updates provided to Council in September
(CMR 10600) and December (CMR 10868) 2019. Staff is seeking review of the status of this
project in the context of this validation of fundraising and potential direction on next steps as
City of Palo Alto Page 2
part of this project.
Background
The City acquired the Roth Building in April 2000. In 2002, the City issued a Request for
Proposals (RFP) for proposed uses of the Roth Building, and received one response, from the
PAHM. In 2007, the City and PAHM entered into a two-year option agreement to lease the
Roth Building. Since 2007, PAHM personnel and City staff have examined a variety of proposals
to fund the capital and operating needs of the Roth Building historical museum and the City
Council has extended the option agreement several times. Additional background information
can be found by referring to prior staff reports, CMRs: 2197, 2891, 4703, 5365, 5551, 5879 and
8612. The 2007 option agreement was extended several times over the past 13 years, but
finally lapsed in late 2018 and is no longer in effect.
In December 2018 (Report #9767) the City Council reviewed the status of the Roth Building
project and directed staff, over the next six months, to validate the PAHM’s recent fundraising
milestone of $1.75 million - a target set by Council for a certain period of time, between 2017
and present. At that time, Council did not choose to extend the option agreement further but
directed staff to update the option and lease agreement, which had not been updated since
2007, for later consideration by Council.
On December 17, 2018 Council approved the following motion (9-0):
A. Extend the deadline by six months for the Palo Alto History (PAHM) to achieve the goal of
raising $1.75 million as set by Council in 2017 (to allow for validation of PAHM fundraising);
B. Direct Staff to revise and update the lease agreement between the Palo Alto History
Museum and return to City Council in six months for approval;
C. Adopt a Resolution designating the Roth Building as a park and committing to use the Roth
Building consistent with park use for a period of no less than 20 years and making other
representations to apply for historic preservation grant funds from the County of Santa Clara
to rehabilitate the Roth Building roof;
D. Transfer the $665,000 of Sea Scout Building Transferable Development Rights (TDRs)
proceeds to the Roth Building Rehabilitation Reserve Fund; and
E. Direct Staff to return to Council to dedicate $65,000 from the Council Contingency Fund to
the Sea Scouts.
Staff has provided updates to the City Council on work towards this direction, both in
September 2019 and December 2019. The most current status on each component of the
motion is included in this report for consolidation purposes at the end of the Discussion section.
City Council Previous Funding Actions
In order to provide the background of funding actions, staff has consolidated the funding
actions and direction to date below for Phase one of the project, consisting of capital
investment expenses, the general construction and rehabilitation of the facility to prepare the
building to move to Phase 2, the build-out of the museum space. The City Council has approved
City of Palo Alto Page 3
two primary funding sources thus far.
1) Council approved the designation of the Roth Building as a “Sender Site” in the Transfer
of Development Rights (TDR) program. Staff followed the provisions for eligible City
owned buildings to participate in the TDR program as outlined in Sections 18.18.080 and
18.28.060 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC). The program allows a Category 2
resource, such as the Roth Building, to be eligible as a “sender site” for a 9,592 square
foot floor area bonus to be utilized at an eligible “receiver site”. The TDRs were put to
bid and sold raising $2.88 million.
2) On December 15, 2015, City Council passed a motion instructing staff to identify $1.0
million to fund rehabilitation costs for the Roth Building. All potential sources were
examined, and staff recommended that the Budget Stabilization Reserve be drawn
down to provide the $1.0 million. The Museum representatives asserted that with this
contribution and the sale of Transferable Development Rights (TDRs), further
fundraising would gain traction.
On June 29, 2015, the Council approved a budget amendment in the Capital Improvement Fund
to establish a Roth Building rehabilitation reserve in the fund in the total amount of $3.88
million.
Palo Alto History Museum has been working to fundraise the gap in funding for Phase one.
After identifying $1.4 million in fundraising and a remaining gap of $3.5 million in identified
project funding, in 2017, the City Council challenged the PAHM to raise 50% of the identified
gap, or $1.75 million in the coming 12 months. In December 2018, the PAHM tentatively
confirmed completion of fundraising the additional $1.75 million. The City Council directed staff
to validate these funds for further project progress towards Phase one.
In September 2019 staff provided an update to Council indicating that additional time was need
to perform the validation of fundraising, the expansion of the scope of validation of fundraising
to the full $3.2 million anticipated to assist in funding the phase one capital investment, and
that a firm would be hired to assist in the completion of this work. The City hired Macias Gini
and O’Connel (MGO) to validate the PAHM fundraising to accomplish item A from Council’s
motion, Extend the deadline by six months for the Palo Alto History (PAHM) to achieve the goal
of raising $1.75 million as set by Council in 2017 (to allow for validation of PAHM fundraising).
This report provides a summary of the findings from MGO and the report is attached
(Attachment A).
Also, due to the timing of staff’s return to the City Council, staff recommended and the City
Council approved on October 21, 2019 (CMR 10658) a reappropriation of the FY 2019 City
Council contingent account in the amount of $65,000 to FY 2020 for the implementation of
item E in the original motion.

Discussion
The City hired MGO to review and validate the entire population of fundraising that was
reported by the Palo Alto History Museum in 2018. At that time Council had set the goal of
PAHM meeting a fundraising target of $1.75 million and directed staff to validate that amount.
In researching the Museum’s fundraising, staff found that the earlier reported figure of $1.4
million had also not been validated. Together this fundraising totaled $3.15 million. The City
and PAHM agreed it best to expand the scope of validation to all funds, not just the $1.75
million target. The expanded population of fundraising and validating expertise needed
increased the time staff required to perform the review. It should be noted that MGO did not
perform an official financial audit of the Palo Alto History Museum financials; this engagement
focused solely on the evaluation of progress towards fundraising goals and identification of
available funds for investment in the construction project at the Roth Building.
The work performed by MGO included interviews with PAHM staff, review of records in the
donations database, review of data from the accounting system and review of donations and
pledges along with available supporting documents. MGO’s work culminated in a final report
(Attachment A). A draft final report was reviewed with PAHM and their edits and comments
where incorporated into the final report. PAHM provided a letter in response to the report
(Attachment C).
The key conclusion in the report is that PAHM has fundraised and received donations and
pledges totaling $7.7 million, however, PAHM does not currently have sufficient cash on hand
to meet the fundraising target of $3.15 million for contribution to the rehabilitation
construction (Phase 1) of the Roth Building. Since approximately 20001, the museum has
received donations of $4.8 million and pledges of $2.9 million which is inclusive of the $3.15
million amount that PAHM reported to the City. However, expenditures for the PAHM have
been in the $3.6 million range for that same period, since 2000.
As of November 2019, PAHM has an available operating cash balance of approximately $1
million. In addition to the cash balance, PAHM has total pledges of $2.9 million of which $2.0
million is restricted for other uses as discussed below. MGO reviewed the pledges and after
identifying levels of risk, has deemed $0.2 million (up to $580,000) likely to be collected –
these are the pledges that are less than three years old2.

City of Palo Alto Page 6
Pledges
MGO reviewed outstanding pledges that totaled approximately $2.9 million6 and determined
that $2.01 million have restrictions from the donor and cannot be used for Phase 1
construction. MGO determined that of the remaining pledges approximately $681,500 have
high risk factors7 that decrease the likelihood of the pledge being collected. Approximately
$242,600 (or up to $583,000) in pledges are more likely to be collectable according to the MGO
report.
Summary of Project Funding
The overall funding picture for the Roth Building rehabilitation project is shown in the table
below. Following the table are additional updates to the financial status of Phase 1 capital
investment and construction that may impact the overall funding picture. The PAHM has
expended $57,000 to date on this project for the construction contract. Not itemized below is
the award of $100,000 in grant funding from the County of Santa Clara County Parks Historical
Grant for reimbursement of costs associated with the roof replacement.

Projected
Cost Balance
Building Project Total Rehabilitation Cost $9.2 million
City’s contribution: TDRs, BSR, interest, Library
Impact Fees (est. $300k) $5.2 million
PAHM cash on hand as of November 2019 $1.0 million
Phase 1 Pledges as of December 2019 $583,000-$242,600
Phase One – Capital Shortfall (as of 2019) ~($2.8m - $2.4m)
The Phase 1 construction cost estimate of $9.2 million is from 2016. According to PAHM’s
construction contractor, Vance Brown, who City and Museum staff met with in January 2020,
this cost estimate has likely escalated by at least ten percent making the current project cost
anticipated to exceed $10 million. Another factor that may add costs to the project is the fact
that the subcontractor costs since initial estimates have not been updated by Vance Brown.
Only once the project has a firm start date does the contractor update these estimates with a
firm quote from the subcontractors. This step will likely result in additional cost increases.

Discussion of Next Steps
Given the findings in the MGO report as well as the updated discussion of overall Phase one
project construction costs, staff is bringing back to the City Council these findings for discussion
and potential direction on next steps. The fact that the passage of over a decade of time has
not fared well for the structure nor has it resonated with stakeholders and fundraising efforts.
Over the span of nearly two decades, despite best intentions, the work needed to preserve the
building has been postponed as the necessary private funds have not fully materialized, leaving
the building in an increasingly degraded physical state.
Over the past year as staff have been completing these fundraising validation efforts with the
necessary stakeholders – City departments, the PAHM, and Vance Brown – ideas on the
potential path forward for this building and project have been discussed. The ideas below
spring from these conversations with the core tenet of building preservation in mind and staff is
seeking input and direction from Council on the next steps in this potential project given the
current status of project funding. These ideas are not intended to be holistic or mutually
exclusive but rather resurrect prior potential paths forwards for this valued community asset as
well as new options. The City would coordinate with PAHM on these revised paths forward
pending City Council direction.
Request for Proposal
The last request for proposals RFP for the Roth Building was completed in 2005, over a decade
ago. The City Council considered the development of a RFP for the Roth Building in 2017 (CMR
8612) as the Council was faced with an approximately $3.5 million funding gap in the
construction project then. At the Council’s direction, staff could resume this option and
dedicate staff time and resources to the execution of a new RFP. An RFP would inform what the
market would bear for this property and may identify new interest as well as alternative ideas
for use. The zoning for this land is currently Public Facilities (PF) and this along with the City’s
Comprehensive Plan and other planning and development codes would be necessary to
consider in soliciting and evaluating potential options. This process would extend the time the
building remains vacant and could be done in conjunction with other options described below.
As discussed previously, the high-level steps needed for issuing a new RFP would include:
• Prepare a timeline for the RFP
• Obtain input from Council on goals, concepts and core variables for the RFP
• Solicit a request for qualifications to set a prequalification level which firms must meet
to respond to the RFP (optional)
• Issue the RFP to qualified firms and allow a one-to-two-month window for firms to
respond
• Hold interviews and presentations with firms, the City, and the community
representatives
• Consider alternatives presented by proposing firms and develop options for review with
the City Manager
• Present options and a recommendation to the Council along with related contract
City of Palo Alto Page 8
awards
It is estimated that the RFP selection process would take approximately one year to complete.
Physically Stabilize the Roth Building
Allow PAHM to begin initial construction to stabilize the Roth Building from water intrusion and
repair a back wall based on the current building permit and design that PAHM holds. This would
stabilize the facility; however, the building would not be ready for occupancy. The estimated
cost for this work is $8.5 million8 according to initial estimates from PAHM contractor Vance
Brown. This idea leverages the existing building and approved planning permits and starts the
rehabilitation of a City owned property and the overall project. PAHM estimates that this
activity, demonstrating capital investment in the facility, would motivate additional fundraising.
However, as noted above, funding of $6.2 million ($5.2 million from City contributions and $1.0
million in PAHM operating cash balance) would be insufficient to fully fund a project this size.
This option would require identification and commitment of additional funding prior to the
commencement of work.
Sharing of Facility
The City and PAHM could work together and/or potentially with another party to share the
20,000 square foot facility so that it would not be solely occupied by PAHM. This co-tenancy
could lessen the cost burden on the PAHM by sharing costs with another party both for
construction and the ongoing operating costs associated with maintaining and running a
building of this size. Parking would potentially be an issue depending on the use and volume of
customers/users if any. The PAHM has expressed an openness to discuss a shared occupancy
concept including shared square footage on the first and/or second floor of the facility.
One example of sharing the facility could be PAHM co-tenancy with City operations or
common/community facilities. For illustration purposes only, the City currently leases space for
City staff at satellite locations such as the Development Center (approximately 12,000 square
feet) and Utilities staffing at Elwell Court (approximately 16,000 square feet) and an average
City Hall floor is 6,000 square feet.
Co-tenancy with the City or another party will necessitate detailed discussions and formal
agreement(s) to address issues such as but not limited to parking needs/requirements,
allocation of space, expenses, and building access, constraints related to the County grant
designation of the building as parkland, and building permit amendment or new application.
Per PAHM, the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) allows for some sub-leasing to appropriate
nonprofit entities; this option could be resurrected. Sharing of the facility would necessitate
PAHM staff to coordinate with the organization’s board as well.
Lastly, although not a path forward for the physical Roth Building facility, it is notable that the
MGO report also provides recommendations, which may be considered by PAHM and the City
should the parties wish to continue the current project path. These include:
8 Estimate from Vance Brown/PAHM
City of Palo Alto Page 9
• The City and PAHM should consider an agreement which could include requirement for
a regular report on fundraising, an approved PAHM operating budget, operating reserve
and review of financial policies and procedures.
• Establishment of a PAHM operating reserve, which is an unrestricted fund balance to
provide a cushion against unexpected events together with a realistic plan to replenish
the reserve.
• PAHM should continue to expand its comprehensive policies and procedure manual to
establish a control environment and to address internal control risks.
• Establish an account that is used by PAHM to estimate the true collectability of
receivables by accounting for doubtful accounts.
Summary of Council’s December 17, 2018 direction and the current status of each item:
Council Motion Background/Status
A. Extend the deadline by six months for the Palo
Alto History (PAHM) to achieve the goal of raising
$1.75 million as set by Council in 2017 (to allow
for validation of PAHM fundraising);
Review of fundraising completed.
B. Direct Staff to revise and update the lease
agreement between the Palo Alto History Museum
and return to City Council in six months for
approval
Development of option and lease
agreement in progress. The updated
draft of the agreement is being
reviewed by City departments,
including Public Works, Planning and
Community Services. While this effort
is moving forward it has been
separated from the review of
fundraising. Depending on Council’s
direction as a result of reviewing the
fundraising this may impact the terms
of the option and lease agreement, or
whether to proceed with the
agreement.
C. Adopt a Resolution designating the Roth Building
as a park and committing to use the Roth Building
consistent with park use for a period of no less
than 20 years and making other representations
to apply for historic preservation grant funds from
the County of Santa Clara to rehabilitate the Roth
Building roof;
Resolution approved and County grant
secured.
D. Transfer the $665,000 of Sea Scout Building
Transferable Development Rights (TDRs) proceeds
to the Roth Building Rehabilitation Reserve Fund;
and
Complete
City of Palo Alto Page 10
E. Direct Staff to return to Council to dedicate
$65,000 from the Council Contingency Fund to the
Sea Scouts.
Pending approval in this report
(Recommendation 2). The original
request for this funding was made by
the Environmental Volunteers (Sea
Scouts) in December 2018 (Attachment
B).
Other Updates
Building permit
PAHM’s construction contractor currently holds an approved (in February 2019) building permit
for the rehabilitation project of which PAHM was the applicant. The building permit remains
active and has been extended through February 2020. PAHM has initiated a second six-month
extension of the building permit to adjust for timing of this project including but not limited to
the Lease and Option Agreement review and approval by the City Council. Building permits may
be extended up to three times.
County grants
The City in partnership with PAHM has submitted two new grant applications to the 2019 Santa
Clara County Historical Grant Program. One grant is to provide additional funding for the roof
replacement project and the other grant is to provide funding to preserve the art frescoes on
the outside front wall of the building. These grants will be determined in 2020 after award
recommendations, which are scheduled for February 2020. As discussed above, an earlier grant
submitted in the County’s prior grant cycle to help support roof repair was granted by the
County in the amount of $102,992; the contract was recently signed.
Stakeholder Outreach
Throughout this project staff has maintained regular and open communications with PAHM and
its staff as well as the construction contractor. The collaboration between the City and PAHM
has been positive as a result. Internally, staff have been coordinating among the Public Works,
Community Services, Planning and Administrative Services departments on different aspects of
the project.
Resource Impact
City Financial Contributions
As discussed earlier, the City Council previously took actions to set aside $3.88 million in
resources for the Roth Building rehabilitation. Funding primarily resulted from the sale of TDRs
($2.88 million), plus an additional contribution from the Budget Stabilization Reserve ($1.0
million). These funds plus interest earned remain accounted for in the General Capital
Improvement Fund (471) in a reserve; as of February 2020, this reserve stands at $4.2 million.
In addition, the Sea Scout Building Transferable Development Rights (TDRs) proceeds
($665,000) for historical restoration only also remain in a reserve in the General Capital
City of Palo Alto Page 11
Improvement Fund; as of February 2020, this reserve stands at $700,030. Lastly, it is expected
that $300,000 in Library impact fees will assist in coverage of costs associated with the archive
build out. Therefore, in total, City funding of $5.2 million is available.
Environmental Review
The Roth Building rehabilitation project is categorically exempt from review under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15331,
Historical Resource Restoration/Rehabilitation, as a project limited to maintenance, repair, and
rehabilitation in accordance with the Secretary of Interior Standards for Historic Preservation.

TO: City Council
FR: Laura Bajuk, ED
RE: Museum on City Council Agenda for March 2, 2020
Thank you to you and your hard-working staff for the opportunity to update you on the
Museum project, our current status, and thoughts on moving forward.
We last appeared before Council on December 11, 2017, where Council unanimously
accepted a “carrot and stick” approach. We were challenged to raise $1.75 million in just
over a year. If we proved we could raise the funds, we could gain additional funds from the
Sea Scout TDR sale. If we didn’t meet the challenge goal, City staff could be directed to
release a new RFP to develop the Roth Building.
The carrot won - we exceeded the City challenge. Since that time, we have:
Seen the Sea Scout TDR funds allocated by the City and received a County grant
(payable to the City) for $102,992.00 towards the Roth rehabilitation,
Added seven dynamic new board members (just over half the board) and critical
policies such as whistleblower and document retention policies,
Pulled our building permit, are keeping it active and are maintaining our 2016
contract with Vance Brown,
Updated our fundraising materials, created a corporate campaign, and are working
on a more effective web site,
Controlled expenses tightly, have seen increased annual revenue, and have held
about a million dollars in our bank and investment accounts (for the first time in
our history) and have maintained that despite regular expenses.
Meeting the City challenge triggered the verification by MGO. While not a full audit, it was
a comprehensive, in-depth review of our financial and fundraising history since the project
began. The process was positive and all professionals involved were efficient and
cooperative. The process drew out how our increasing professionalism over time has
improved operations; we continue to make recommended improvements. That brings us to
the present.
As you are well aware, regional construction costs continue to escalate. Our not-to-exceed
contract with Vance Brown (2016) is stretched to its limit, and sub-contractor estimates are
rising. A review of potential expenses, undertaken recently at the request of City staff,
shows that the margin to construction has increased substantially due to regional
pressures.
Our shared goal is to develop a museum that will enrich this community, and we appreciate
your ongoing support. Clearly, the rehabilitation costs are a financial challenge. We are
open to all reasonable opportunities to achieve this goal, and ask that you direct staff to
explore such options with the Museum board and staff.
Thank you for your consideration, and for the aid of City staff who are part of this process.
We are very grateful for your support.
