Public Works Superintendent Riemer replied that the property generates $68,000 per year for <br />property taxes. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that he was more excited with the opportunity for Quality RV but <br />agreed that Public Works Superintendent Riemer would know what would work best for his <br />department and therefore he would not want to waste money. <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated that the utility department could be put into that <br />building and that department could stay there in perpetuity but then utility funds could not be <br />used for financing of the new public works campus in the future. <br />Councilmember Shryock stated that the building would be good in terms of size, but the cost of <br />the building and necessary upgrades does not seem to make sense financially to provide a short- <br />term solution to a long-term problem. <br />Mayor LeTourneau agreed that the City is looking for a long-term solution to the problem that <br />exists today. He asked if there is a funding source identified for this short-term solution. <br />City Administrator Ulrich reviewed the different funding options that would be available. <br />Mayor LeTourneau confirmed the consensus that this would not be a bad option, but additional <br />information would be needed in terms of logistics and feasibility and whether the solution would <br />meet the needs of public works for the next ten years. <br />Councilmember Kuzma noted that there is also a cost to the inefficiency of public works <br />operating from separate locations. <br />3.
