Approve a Shelter Budget for Furnishings, Fixtures and Equipment July 20, 2021 Page 2 While many of the furnishings used at the temporary Link shelter are expected to be re- used at the new shelter, there are additional items that have been added to accommodate a permanent shelter. Unlike the Link shelter, the Carnegie shelter will be furnished with a full commercial kitchen, and will be able to not only provide meals on -site for clients, but will also stimulate the development of workforce opportunities in kitchen skills. The kitchen design (including equipment) was submitted, reviewed and has been approved by the Health Department. Other purchases include two dozen new beds for the second floor, new mattresses, a commercial grade washer and dryer to augment current equipment, office, healthcare and sitting room furniture as well as a children's homework area. A robust security system will be incorporated throughout the building and outdoor area to provide staff and clients safety at all times. The backyard of the building will encompass client lockers, sitting areas, a children's play area, and dog runs and kennels to allow clients the opportunity to engage in brief off -site appointments. Should damage to the furnishings have occurred during the move from the Link shelter into the storage containers and in transport to the Carnegie shelter, replacements will also need to be ordered. This contingency is built into the not to exceed amount. FISCAL IMPACT The amount shown below is available for one-time furnishings, fixtures and equipment.
