The second is the Novato Arts Center, the former headquarters of the Hamilton Air Force Base, dedicated in 1935, and now the location of the Marin Contemporary Art Museum, an artist studio complex and the Beso Bistro restaurant. The City seeks an experienced blend of real estate and administrative expertise to manage these unique destinations with an emphasis on lease transactions, property maintenance, contracting supervision for light construction, financial administration and tenant relations.
