2. Public Works/City Hall project.
City Administrator Johnson presented the staff report. Grady Kinghorn and John Studer
of Kinghorn Construction, construction manager for the Public Works and City Hall
projects, presented the build out and reviewed the proposed cost and possible project
deductions. There was discussion on security on the doors entering into the employee's
area.
City Administrator Johnson reviewed the floor plan. The City Council recommended
removing the four work stations on the main level in front of the Building Inspectors
stations. The Council concurred with the rest of the floor plan and recommended that
the plan be revised to accommodate the changes recommended to the building safety
area.
There was discussion on modifying the front door, HVAC systems, and the roof project
at the existing City Hall. The City Council directed City staff to review the contract with
the company that replaced the roof last as it is before the 20 year warranty. They also
recommended looking at the Public Works roof contract to address leak issues in that
building under the roof warranty.
City Administrator Johnson reviewed the funding sources previously recommended by
the Council and a proposed change. The new proposal recommended by the
Administrative Subcommittee is for funding for the Public Works Remodeling, City Hall
roof, HVAC, and accessibility changes for this project to come from the Revolving
Capital Improvement Fund. The remodeling costs to a future community center would
be paid by the Community Facilities Fund. The City Council agreed.
City Administrator Johnson said if the City Council agrees with the project as revised,
City staff will bring revised plans and costs to the City Council at the May 29th City
Council meeting.
3. Any other items.
Mayor Stockamp said that the CIP includes repainting the outside of Water Tower #1;
she stated her concern with painting Water Tower #1 with the new city logo is that
Water Tower #3with the old logo in that vicinity. Both the old and new logos would be
visible at the same time. There was discussion on possibly just painting the outside of
Water Tower #1 and not adding the logo. City staff will bring options to the City Council
to consider at the May 29th City Council meeting.
