Hundred Seventy Nine Dollars and Forty Seven Cents ($12,279.47) and finds the

and determines, based on the information contained in the staff report accompanying
this Resolution, as well as the oral presentation of staff and other such written and oral
evidence as presented to the Governing Board, the following:

completing the rehabilitation and modernization of the Community Center. The
