Mayor Gamec stated that he did not want to approve the project then have several change orders <br />and higher cost. He wants to make sure they are not going to have any surprise costs. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that at the last work session there seemed to be a consensus <br />that there was not enough electrical and heating to allow the lobby area to be utilized and now <br />they are finding out that that is not the case, so someone was not doing their job. He inquired as <br />to how many hours it would take to put together a diagram reflecting his vision of utilizing the <br />lobby area. <br /> <br />Mr. Baxley replied that it would take them approximately two to three hours to make the <br />changes. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated that he thought the plan that was presented by the consultants was feasible. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he did not think that the plan allowed for efficient use of <br />the space and he did not like the idea that people have to access the secured area to enter the <br />conference room. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated that he felt that plan that was presented was an improvement <br />because it utilizes the atrium area. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak stated that if they have the money in an account she does think they should <br />spend the money appropriately. She did think the overall plan looked good. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson stated that she was not opposed to some refinements, but felt the <br />overall plan was good. If indeed they can get some favorable answers to some of their major <br />questions so they can stay within the proposed financial parameters she felt it would be good <br />thing for the City to do. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak stated that she would like the figures to be more accurate when it is <br />brought back for consideration. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec inquired if there was a consensus of the Council to hook up to City water when the <br />renovation is being done. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen suggested considering hooking up to City services after the project is <br />completed. He stated that he would like to see an alternative plan provided that would keep the <br />conference room in its current location and allow for more office space in the lobby area if it <br />would only take two hours of the consultant's time. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Council was to direct the consultant to draft a modified plan for consideration <br />and research questions pertaining to the state building code. <br /> <br />City Council/February 19, 2002 <br /> Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
