Municipal Facilties Committee report relative to the assignment of the City-owned property located at 432 East Temple Street, also known as the Mangrove Building to the consolidated Community Investment Department for use as office space, storage, and parking.

The Municipal Facilities Committee (MFC) recommends approving the assignment of the City-owned Mangrove Building at 432 East Temple Street to the consolidated Community Investment Department (CID) for office space, storage, and parking. This move will consolidate approximately 330 staff from the Community Investment for Families Department (CIFD), Economic and Workforce Development Department (EWDD), Youth Development Department (YDD), and the Department of Aging (DoA) into a single location. The project requires an estimated $3,183,767 for tenant improvements, IT infrastructure, and moving expenses. Funding will come from MICLA funds and the Space Optimization Program. This consolidation is projected to save the City approximately $12 million over 10 years compared to current leased temporary space. Ongoing maintenance and custodial services are estimated at $10,885 per month, with $97,965 projected for FY 2026-27.
