BACKGROUND
On June 15, 2004, the City Council approved an agreement (RTC No. 04-227) between the City and the Sunnyvale Historical Society and Museum Association (SHSMA) for the Design, Development, Operation and Maintenance of a Heritage Museum at Sunnyvale Heritage Center at the Sunnyvale Community Center. A First Amendment to the Agreement was entered on October 22, 2007, which modified the Agreement regarding landscaping obligations. A Second Amendment was entered into on February 15, 2012 regarding the use of the City's multi-purpose building at the Sunnyvale Heritage Center. A Third Amendment was entered into on January 5, 2016 that would allow the Society to make improvements, modifications, and additions to the Museum and multipurpose building by installing solar panels (see Attachments 1 and 2).
