           MODULAR SYSTEMS OFFICE FURNITURE FOR THE PASADENA
           CITY HALL PROJECT, FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $500,000
           Recommendation of City Manager:  
           (1) Approve the allocation of $301,276 from Project Contingency for
           unforeseen conditions and activities, as identified in Attachment No. 1 of
           the agenda report, that were discovered during the retrofit of City Hall,
           thereby reducing the amount of Project Contingency from $6,522,402 to
           $6,221,126;  
           (2) Authorize the City Manager to execute Change Order No. 8 to
           Contract No. 18,768-1 with Clark Construction Group - California, LP
           (Clark Construction) for increases in scope of work due to unforeseen
           conditions discovered during the retrofit of City Hall, as identified in
           Attachment No. 1 of the agenda report, thereby increasing the contract
           amount by $126,276 from $80,920,510 to $81,046,786.
           (3) Accept the bid dated November 1, 2006, submitted by Corporate
           Express Business Interiors (CEBI) in response to the Plans and
           Specifications for the Furnish, Delivery, Assembly and Installation of
           Modular Systems Furniture for the Pasadena City Hall Project; reject all
           other bids received and authorize the City Manager to enter into a
           contract not to exceed $500,000, which includes the base bid of
           $473,699.75 and $26,300.25 for any additional work the City may order
           pursuant to the project plans and specifications. 
           Recommendation of City Hall Restoration Oversight Committee: On
           November 8, 2006 and December 6, 2006, the City Hall Restoration
           Oversight Committee reviewed the topics of contingency adjustments,
           General Contractor Change Order No. 8 and allocation for new systems
           furniture for City Hall, and recommended the following:
               The Committee concurred that the recommendations under
           Change Order No. 8 are reasonable and consistent with ongoing
           construction activities of similar projects.  The Committee also concurred
           with the allocations associated with the purchase of new systems
           furniture for City Hall. In reviewing the recommendation for new systems
           furniture, careful consideration was given to the potential cost
           implications associated with the inefficiencies of moving the existing
           furniture and the Chamber Building lease extension.  Thus it was
           recommended that the City Council authorize the allocation of $301,276
           from Project Contingency which includes an increase to Contract             
           No. 18,768-1 with Clark Construction by $126,276 and the allocation of
           $175,000 toward the purchase of new systems furniture for City Hall.

6. PUBLIC HEARINGS - 7:30 P.M.   

  A.  PUBLIC HEARING:  CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
       (CALTECH) MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT AND FINAL
       SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (SEIR)
       Recommendation of City Manager:  It is recommended that the City
       Council, following a public hearing:
       (1) Adopt a resolution to certify the Final Supplemental Environmental
       Impact Report (SEIR) and adopt the Mitigation Measures and Mitigation
       Monitoring Reporting Program prepared for the proposed amendments to the
       Caltech Master Development Plan (Attachment 4 of the agenda report);
       (2) Adopt by resolution the Specific Findings that the Master Development
       Plan Amendments are consistent with the General Plan goals and objectives
       and with the provisions of the Zoning Code; 
       (3)  Approve the proposed amendments to the Caltech Master Development
       Plan with the recommended Conditions of Approval (Attachment 1 of the
       agenda report);
       (4) Approve the De Minimis Impact Finding on the State Fish and Wildlife
       Habitat (Attachment 5 of the agenda report); and
       (5) Direct the City Clerk to file a Notice of Determination and Certificate of
       Fee Exemption for the California Department of Fish and Game with the
       Los Angeles County Recorder (Attachment 6 of the agenda report).   
       Recommendation of Planning Commission:  The Planning Commission
       considered the Final SEIR and the proposed amendments to the Caltech
       Master Development Plan at their November 8 and December 6, 2006
       meetings.  The Commission recommended approval of the amendments to
       the Master Plan with revisions to conditions of approval all of which are
       included in the staff's recommendation with the exception of Condition 10.a. 
       That condition states, "That the applicant shall develop modifications to its
       paid parking policy that will mitigate Caltech related all day parking on
       surrounding neighborhood streets.  These modifications shall be submitted to
       and reviewed by the Director of the Department of Transportation for
       approval."  Staff's recommendation does not include this change.
           At the October 9th City Council meeting, CUP#4253 was called up and
       the Council directed Caltech to continue discussions with the neighbors to
       resolve the parking problems and to formulate a plan.  The City Council's
       anticipated reconsideration of the CUP early next year and review of
       Caltech's measures to manage its parking should identify tools other than
       that recommended by the Planning Commission and which could be adopted
       by the Council as part of the call-up process.  
       Recommendation of Design Commission:  On August 28, 2006, the
       Design Commission provided comments on the Draft SEIR for the Master
       Plan Amendments and Design Guidelines and Design Review Thresholds. 
       The Commission had concerns about the new additions to the North
       Undergraduate Houses encroaching south into the open space area.  The
       Commission reaffirmed its prior comments in support of the revisions to the
       Design Guidelines; recommended lowering the Design Commission Review
       thresholds in the Master Plan from 70,000 square feet to 25,000 square feet
       for buildings along public streets and 50,000 square feet for buildings on the
       interior of the campus; and that the Master Plan should identify thematic
       elements in new buildings that would tie the architectural elements of the
       campus together in certain elements while still allowing for innovation.  Staff
       recommendation incorporates changes made to the design review guidelines
       and design review thresholds which respond to the Commission's
       recommendation. 
       Recommendation of Historic Preservation Commission:  On   
       September 5, 2006, the Historic Preservation Commission reviewed the 
       Draft SEIR and the Design Review thresholds for historic properties on the
       Caltech campus and recommended approval of the list of buildings for which
       major alteration or major additions will be reviewed by the Historic
       Preservation Commission (Attachment 3 of the agenda report).  Additional
       comments were: 1) the future design, massing, and location of the expanded
       North Undergraduate Houses shall respect the Athenaeum and its setting. 
       The new construction should avoid as much as possible the mature trees in
       the open space on the west side of the Athenaeum; 2) at its eastern edge,
       the expanded (or newly constructed) North Undergraduate Houses shall
       match (or closely approximate but not exceed) the footprint and massing of
       the east wing of the South Undergraduate Houses to respect the open space
       and setting of the Athenaeum; 3) the Historic Preservation Commission shall
       review the massing and footprint of the expanded (or newly constructed)
       North Undergraduate Houses and the Design Commission shall review the
       design.  The conditions of approval recommended for the Master Plan
       address the Commission's recommendation.
       Recommendation of Transportation Advisory Commission:  On
       September 7, 2006, the Transportation Advisory Commission (TAC) provided
       comments on the Draft SEIR, and supported the amendments to the Caltech
       Master Plan.
