he would also like to relocate the City Council /City Attorney' s offices to accommodate staff <br />space. <br />Councilmember Elvig asked about the family room space and if it would have to be replaced. <br />City Administrator Ulrich clarified it is directly off the hallway and can remain as is. The <br />lunchroom would also remain unchanged. <br />Finance Director Lund stated if approved, it will be funded from the Facility Fund. <br />Councilmember Elvig asked about use of QCTV funds. <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated it depends on what is done with the space and the IT work is <br />included in the estimate of $8,500. <br />The consensus of the Council was to direct staff to move forward with reassembling office areas <br />and City Hall signage, as detailed in the September 4, 2012, staff report and estimated at $8,500, <br />with funding from the Facilities Fund. The Council also directed staff to work towards leasing <br />excess space. <br />3. FUTURE TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION <br />Noted. <br />4. MAYOR / COUNCIL / STAFF INPUT <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated staff has been working with Metro Transit to get additional bus <br />service as part of the Taxing District agreement. He noted that last fall, the Council proposed an <br />additional bus at the end of the day, after the train. Metro Transit is proposing the last bus leave <br />downtown at 6 p.m., arriving in Ramsey at 8:55 pm. Or, another option would be a new time for <br />the bus. <br />Mayor Ramsey asked if it would be an express bus and stated he wanted the bus connected to the <br />Technical College. <br />City Administrator Ulrich stated Metro Transit proposes the normal bus route and Ramsey would <br />be the last stop before the bus returned. He stated the bus currently comes to the Technical <br />College more than once a day. <br />Mayor Ramsey stated he wants the bus to stop at the Technical College with every route. <br />Councilmember Backous concurred and stated the last bus is a concern because many <br />professionals who will be living in the apartments will take the train to get to work and many <br />will be working late and not use the train if there is not a route after 7:30 p.m. He suggested a 9 <br />p.m. or 10 p.m. last bus route. <br />City Council Work Session / September 4, 2012 <br />Page 3 of 5 <br />
