City Administrator Ulrich noted that this report identifies the space for the campus and therefore <br />decisions can be made on other sites that were being looked into. He advised that site <br />preparations could also occur in the future. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that the Public Works Committee has reviewed this multiple times <br />and stated that Option A was identified as the best option because it would utilize existing <br />buildings as well. <br />Councilmember Williams asked for additional information on a return on the investment. <br />Mr. Schwartman explained that the goal was to assess public works first and how to <br />accommodate the public works operations, rather than to provide a return on the investment. He <br />noted that there would be developable land available with Option A, compared to Option B. <br />Asst. City . Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama provided additional <br />information, noting that Option A would provide the most amount of land available for alternate <br />development outside of the 300-foot setback from the railroad tracks. He noted that Option D <br />would actually provide more development opportunity but would not fit with the operational <br />needs of the public works department and that is why Option A is recommended. <br />Councilmember Shryock noted that this does solidify information that is already known and <br />looked forward to continuing discussions in the next few years. <br />Motion by Councilmember Shryock, seconded by Councilmember LeTourneau, to adopt the <br />future public works campus space needs analysis. <br />Motion carried.
