I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Case//6: Discussion of Options to New Fire Station Design <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kapler stated that this case was presented to discuss the possible changes to the design <br />of Fire Station #2. The issues are the temporary location of Council Chambers and <br />changing/expanding the current administrative area. Staff will have financial and timeline <br />impacts on the total project if changes are incorporated. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that his concerns were in regards to the curved roof that is <br />proposed and the possibility of using the facilities for additional Staff or relocating the Council <br />Chambers. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec questioned what the cost implications would be with moving the Council <br />Chambers to the new Fire Station. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kapler replied that he was given a rough estimate of $41,000-$57,000 to <br />accommodate the Council Chambers. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen noted that the cost would include adding a secured room fo~ the <br />QCTV equipment. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman inquired how much additional square footage would be added. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kapler replied the square footage would be increased by 431 square feet. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec questioned where the additional funding would come from. <br /> <br />Finance Officer Lund replied that 40 to 50 thousand dollars was included for landscaping and <br />could be set aside to do landscaping at a later date. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he would not want to put aside landscaping. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly inquired if it would be possible to use CDBG funds to make the <br />building handicap accessible. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen explained that the City could save approximately $20,000 if they <br />chose to go with a flat roof rather than a curved roof, but a curved roof would be more efficient <br />and not take up as much space so he would be willing to stay with the curved roof design. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he would prefer to see the Council Chambers moved to the Fire Station <br />rather than separating Staff. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly inquired if the area would be secured enough so that the room could <br />be used for other events. <br /> <br />City Council/November 23, 1999 <br /> Page 15 of 25 <br /> <br /> <br />
