Management Intern Hendricks stated that staff has been meeting with Intereum, the <br />furniture and interior design firm for the City, to plan the staff move due to leasing space <br />and asked if Council has any comments. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich pointed out that this move is necessary to accommodate the <br />County Licensing Center on the first floor. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Nelson stated that we are moving forward with the Anoka <br />County lease. Weare close to a final draft of the lease agreement. We are working on <br />how and where to locate staff from first floor to second. She gave a brief overview of <br />how staff will be moving around. We can accommodate all this and are looking for <br />Council reaction to these plans. We will be asking for a proposal from Intereum to move <br />these things around and we should have some information next Tuesday. <br /> <br />Mr. Ulrich reported that the Mayor/Council office would stay where it currently is.

Will we <br />have some type of area for a conference room. <br /> <br />Ms. Nelson stated these are the plans just dealing with the furniture. We will have <br />figures so Council will know exactly what the conference room will cost, etc. With <br />regard to the architectural process - we will be bringing this back to Council again soon. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen inquired if everything is well within budget to which Ms. Nelson <br />replied she did not have any numbers yet. Councilmember Dehen recollected that <br />Council authorized some costs to which Ms. Nelson replied yes - for design and that is <br />all within budget. <br /> <br />Mr. Ulrich inquired if there is any interest in re-doing the Council desk in the Chambers. <br /> <br />Councilmembers Dehen and Look objected to spending the money to do that. <br /> <br />Mayor Ramsey commented that Council looks ridiculous sitting at that desk. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig stated he has said that since the move to this Chambers. <br /> <br />City Council Work.
