            4            MS. HOUSER:  My next item is Facilities Update.  

            5   The remediation work is proceeding on schedule at the 

            6   450 N Street building and DGS anticipates completing the 

            7   work by December 2010.  

            8            We have also been working with DGS to locate 

            9   additional space for six to seven hundred employees who 

           10   will move into three separate headquarter annex 

           11   locations.  

           12            A lease for the first group, which includes the 

           13   motor carrier section of the International Fuel Tax 

           14   Agreements Unit, has been signed and copies have been 

           15   provided to your offices.  

           16            This site is located at 1030 Riverside Parkway 

           17   in West Sacramento and provides adequate access and 

           18   parking for our taxpayers with large trucks.  A move 

           19   date of May or June of 2010 is anticipated.  

           20            For the second group, DGS has reviewed the 

           21   initial space design and a lease could be executed as 

           22   early as December.  The site can accommodate Legal, 

           23   Investigations, Board Proceedings and Media and Web 

           24   Design Services.  A move date of summer of 2010 is 

           25   anticipated for this group. 

           26            A potential site has been identified for the 

           27   third group, which will meet our business needs for the 

           28   County and State Assessed Property Division, the 




                                                                      3




                                                                       


            1   training sections from both SUTD and Administration and 

            2   the Call Center.  

            3            DGS is currently in lease negotiations and we 

            4   are hopeful for a fall 2010 move date.  

            5            I would be happy to answer any questions you 

            6   have on the facility or headquarters annex sites.  

            7            MS. YEE:  Okay.  Thank you, Ms. Houser.  

            8            Questions or comments, Members?  

            9            Okay. 

           10            MS. HOUSER:  Thank you.
