ACCEPT ZIPBOOKS GRANT: CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY FOR BOOK DELIVERY
AND APPROPRIATE FUNDS – F2M25-18, M2M25-133
The Library applied for and received a $3,591 grant from the California State Library to
continue the purchasing of physical print and audio books to meet unique patron requests
and to support book delivery services to home or facility bound Alhambra residents. This
program aims to meet immediate patron requests of items the Library does not currently
own and will enhance access for community members who have limited ability to access
the Library’s physical building and its collection.
Recommended Action:
City Council accept $3,591 from the California State Library
for the Zipbooks program; appropriate revenue and expenditure funds in the amount of
$3,591; authorize the City Manager or designee to sign the grant agreement with the
California State Library, subject to final language approval by the City Manager and City
Attorney, with the California State Library; and, direct staff to undertake the steps
necessary to finalize Council’s action. (M2M25-133) |

Since the contract award, there have been three amendments to the contract.

Amendment No. 2 was the change in ownership from Commercial Building Management
Services to Commercial Building Management, CBM. Incorporated as a result of a Notice
of Sale due to owner’s retirement. Amendment No. 3 was to clarify language in the
existing agreement. Since the issuance of Amendment No. 2, owner Jesus Velasco sold
a portion of the company’s current contracts, including the City of Alhambra’s custodial
services contract. The sale took effect on July 1, 2025 and the new company name is now
C Commercial Building Services C.B.S., Inc. The City was provided with a Notification of
Sale letter. As a result of the name and ownership change, it is appropriate to amend the
existing contract to accurately reflect the changes.

subject to approval by the City Manager and the City Attorney, for custodial services to
change the company name from Commercial Building Management, CBM. Incorporated
to C Commercial Building Services C.B.S., Inc.; and, direct staff to undertake the steps
