BACKGROUND INFORMATION BACKGROUND (Former Municipal Center Campus) The City's Economic Development Authority(EDA) and Council went through an in-depth public engagement process in 2013 and 2014 to consider the future development of the "Old Municipal Center Site." The City considered two general development scenarios for the 20.5 acre site: (A) data center development and (B) residential development. Until 2015, the Old Municipal Center Site was zoned Public/Quasi Public. In June 2014, the City Council decided to move forward with an amendment to allow for single-family residential only land use on the OMC site (and not allow a data center). In June 2015, the City Council closed on a purchase agreement to sell the former municipal center site to a residential developer. BACKGROUND (Demolition) Upon rezoning and selling the former municipal center site in 2015, the City Council provided general direction to staff(and direction via a purchase agreement) to demolish and clean up the site. Said demolition and site clean up includes two phases/contracts (1) removal of hazardous materials/ regulated waste, and (2) demolition, site clean up, and site restoration. Demolition was scheduled to occur after Fire Station #2 was completed, and the Fire Department was able to vacate the former municipal center. As of June, the Fire Department has vacated the former municipal center site. Demolition is ready to occur. BACKGROUND/ PROCESS (Demolition) This case is a continuation of a case the Council reviewed on 02/23/2016, and on 06/14/2016. 02/23/2016: Council approved a work order from Hakanson Anderson Engineering to manage/ lead the process of putting together plans/specs/and administering the bidding process for demolition of the former municipal center campus ($28,000). 06/14/2016: Council approve a contract with J&J Contracting to complete phase 1 of the demolition process ($10,400). 08/23/2016: Council adopt plans & specifications and authorizes advertisement for bids for phase 2 of the demolition project ($XXXXX) 09/27/2016: Council approves contract for phase 2 of the demolition project ($XXXXXXX). 11/30/2016: Phase 2 of demolition completed. 12/302016: Developer that entered into a Purchase Agreement in 2015 has 30 days after demolition to close on the purchase of the second phase of their development.
