City Engineer Westby reviewed the staff report and recommendation to adopt Resolution #15- <br />11-287 authorizing City staff to accept the proposal from Bolton & Menk, Inc. in the amount of <br />$89,170 to prepare final Plans and Specifications to extend Riverdale Drive from Traprock Street <br />to Ramsey Boulevard in 2016. <br />Councilmember Ulrich noted that this would provide an important connection to residents <br />without having to access Highway 10. <br />Motion by Councilmember LeTourneau, seconded by Councilmember Johns, to adopt <br />Resolution #15-11-287 Authorizing Preparation of Plans and Specifications for Riverdale Drive <br />Extension from Traprock Street to Ramsey Boulevard, Improvement Project #16-20. <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Kuzma stated that the case states that the project would be <br />funded through MSA funds and asked if those funds would be available for alternate projects if <br />this was not approved. <br />City Engineer Westby confirmed that if the funds were not used for this project they would <br />remain in the account for other MSA projects. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Strommen, Councilmembers LeTourneau, Johns, Kuzma, <br />Riley, Shryock, and Williams. Voting No: None. <br />7.05: Public Works Campus Space Needs Analysis <br />Asst. City Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama reviewed the staff report and <br />reported that BKV, City staff, and the Public Works Committee have identified "Option A" in <br />the report as the most desired site and building layout. He noted that all three groups recommend <br />that the City Council adopt the space needs analysis, which will provide general policy direction. <br />Bruce Schwartman, BKV, provided an overview of the space needs analysis that was completed <br />for the public works campus. He stated that the area defined for the campus was 66,000 square <br />feet and noted that size is consistent with other similar municipalities. He noted that the option <br />recommended, Option A, would utilize two of the existing buildings for storage and/or cold <br />storage. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that he feels that this is premature as the Fire Station still needs to <br />be completed and therefore he would not be supporting this item. <br />Mayor Strommen stated that the action tonight is simply to accept the report and not to take <br />action. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that he would support accepting the report but did not want to <br />start a timeline. <br />City Council / November 24, 2015 <br />Page 9 of 11 <br />
