Schroeder, City Administrator <br /> <br />CASE <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Early in 1993, the Council began efforts to react to the space needs of this organization. <br />For your edification, I have compiled the calendar of events (minus staff memorandums <br />and meetings) relating to this issue since May 1993, as follows: <br /> <br />05/23/93 Council hired BKPR for space needs study <br />07/30/93 First draft study concepts complete <br />04/26/94 Presentation by BKPR to Finance Committee on final concepts and <br /> budgets <br />06/14/94 Council authorized negotiation for purchase of 14100 Jaspar <br />06/28/94 Council authorized $310,000 purchase and $280,000 remodeling of <br /> 14100 Jaspar <br />08/22/94 Council authorized closing on 14100 Jaspar <br />09/01/94 Closing held on Jaspar <br />09/12/94 Council authorized proceeding on Public Works remodeling at <br /> 14100 Jaspar <br />11/22/94 Council authorized partial use of 14100 Jaspar for Police <br /> Department storage <br />03/14/95 Council informed of Public Works remodeling progress and <br /> upcoming proposal for use of Community Room for Police <br /> Department space <br />05/23/95 Request to Council for consideration of City Hall remodeling <br />06/07/95 Memorandum to Council on remodeling options progress <br />06/13/95 Proposal requested for new construction costs <br />06/21/95 Construction estimate received <br /> <br />It is interesting to recall that less than two months elapsed between the completion of the <br />needs analysis and Council authorization of a purchase of an improved Public Works <br />facility. This facility (minus site work) should be complete by July 1995. <br /> <br />Council was informed in March 1995, of the staff intent to consider soft remodeling of City <br />Hall for an improved Police Department space. On March 27, 1995, an intern with an <br />architectural degree, Beth Malaby, started work with that assignment. Two months later <br /> <br /> <br />
