EXHIBIT "A" GRANT PROPOSAL Museum of Redlands January 21, 2022, City of Redlands 30 Cajon Street Redlands, CA 92373 Attention, Charlie Duggan City Manager Via E mail Dear Charlie, A vision twenty-two years in the making is about to happen! Redlands will have by the end of this year a new cultural historical, educational "Living Room"! Redlands' residents will have a place that provides ongoing context and inspiration for years to come In 2000, the old city hall was promised by the city as the Museum site, even signs were put up The Great Recession killed that dream That site was needed for police services Three other potential sites were explored but became unavailable Then, through the generosity of a private donor the former Daily Facts Building at Brookside Avenue and Center Street was given to the Museum We chose our name to be the Museum of Redlands. The Museum will lead visitors through the rich history of Redlands by way of interactive exhibits, lectures, art, and music, but also involve significant space for travelling exhibits from other museums all of which will provide an ongoing opportunity for residents and visitors alike to return repeatedly The design developed by well known architects Johnson/Favaro, (most recently of the new Riverside Library), creates an iconic landmark in Redlands that represents our time and our gift to future citizens The early documents between the City and MOR anticipated that the city, near the completion of the project would become an active partner with MOR, both financially and operationally We are currently funded with pnvate donations These private funds came from four major donors and more than 800 additional donors who have contributed almost $18 million The total project cost is projected to be between $24 and $26 million NOW is the City's time to assist in completing MOR With a contribution of $6 6 million, the city would be presenting its citizens with a new cultural asset This amount includes contingencies, MOR soft costs and will complete the interior of MOR It does not include prevailing wages The attached document details MOR s cash flow from January 1, 2022 through April 2022 The document also details a short fall of cash for current construction which is dependent on pledges and additional fund raising by the MOR This could require a reimbursement agreement with the city as funds become available MOR will join with a new City Hall a new Police Headquarters, and new Fire Stations Culture and education join "civic hands" with public safety and administrative services, all to serve the people of Redlands in the 21" Century and beyond We look forward to your favorable approval with advanced "thanks" for keeping our mutual project on time Sincerely, hen P St ton President, Museum of Redlands CC Chris Boatman, Don McCue, Tim Rochford Char Burgess Attachment 6 L \ca\djm\Agreements\Redlands Historcal Museum Grant Agreement.FY21-0102.docx.jn
