<br />CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />Topic Report: Old Town Hall <br />By: Jason J. Schmidt, Management Intern <br /> <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The City Council briefly discussed Old Town Hall at their June 14, 2005 work session, <br />when Landmark Bank stated they were interested in utilizing the building for additional <br />office space. In addition to the improvements of Village Road behind the bank, Old <br />Town Hall, and day care facility, staff was directed to obtain cost proposals for the <br />completion of the renovations and moving the Old Town Hall within the Town Center. <br /> <br />Numerous improvements need to be completed within the Old Town Hall in order to <br />establish the building in a manner that would be conducive to uses. Staff contacted KKE <br />Architects, Inc., the architects that worked on the Old Town Hall in the late 90's, for the <br />restoration cost proposal. The total construction cost came to $96,747, which includes a <br />$20,000 structural repair contingency and $7,907 general contractor fee. Enclosed is a <br />list of the work that needs to be completed, with the break down of the cost. <br /> <br />Staff contacted Prodger Housemovers, based out of Wyoming, MN for the cost proposal <br />to move the Old Town Hall approximately 3 miles to Town Center. The cost came to <br />$27,000. The City would still be responsible for the trimming or removal of any trees <br />along the moving route, permits, escort fees, and overhead utility costs. In addition, the <br />cost proposal does not include materials or installation of materials when the Old Town <br />Hall is set on its new foundation. Staff is seeking direction for the future use of the <br />building and the site. <br /> <br />Action Statement: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion. <br /> <br />CCWS: <br /> <br />07/28/05 <br />
