These funds, in addition to the funds from the <br />purchase price of the lot ($80,000) and $20,000 in CDBG funds were designated for this <br />project. These sources provided for a total of $116,000 in available funding for the <br />rehabilitation of the Old Town Hall. <br /> <br />The City has received the completed phasing plan and the costs associated with the <br />different levels of improvements to the facility. The cost estimates have resulted in the <br />City needing to determine at what level the building should be renovated. The estimated <br />cost, based upon the bids received to completely renovate the structure, would be <br />$149,537. Considering the City Council's action at their last meeting, the City currently <br />has only $96,000 available for the project. Using this number, the staff would <br />recommend the following improvements being completed on the building to stabilize the <br />facility until a long term use can be determined. <br /> <br />Attached for the City Council's review is a list of the proposed improvements and the <br />costs of those improvements based upon the bids that have been received. Also included <br />are the costs of the final completion of the renovation project. These bids do not include <br />additional work that may be donated or reduced due to economy of scale savings. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to proceed with the proposed renovation of the Old Town Hall in an amount not <br />to exceed $96,000 and to complete the improvements indicated on the attached plan with <br />any savings within the project used to complete additional items of the phasing plan. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Economic Development Coordinator <br />Finance Officer <br /> <br />CC: 04/08/97 <br /> <br /> <br />
