Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated that the City uses the front half of this building for <br /> police and public works. He commented that the City is not using the neighboring building. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated that this seems to be a good temporary solution to provide relief <br /> to public works and therefore he will support this action. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau stated that he is glad things are moving quickly and fitting together. He <br /> asked if the activity around this building and the termination of this lease is contingent on other <br /> actions. <br /> Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated that he would like to purchase the Quality RV <br /> building to relocate utilities to that building and then terminate the lease on this building to use <br /> as a temporary solution for public works. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau stated that a few meetings ago the focus was on a new public works facility <br /> option. He asked if the acquisition of this lease would provide the temporary solution or whether <br /> this would be used in a long-term solution as well. <br /> Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated that this would provide a temporary solution. He <br /> noted that a public works facility would still be needed in the future. <br /> Councilmember Shryock stated that since this is not costing much and would alleviate the strain, <br /> she would be in favor of proceeding with this portion of the option. <br /> Public Works Superintendent Riemer continued with his presentation. <br /> Councilmember Heinrich referenced the connection to City sewer and water and asked if the cost <br /> shown was just for that connection or all improvements. <br /> Public Works Superintendent Riemer commented that estimate is just for the connection. He <br /> estimated that the cost for floor drains could be $50,000 to $60,000. <br /> Councilmember Riley asked what changed the mind of staff on the temporary solution. <br /> Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated that combined with the bus storage building, this <br /> seems to be a good temporary option. <br /> Councilmember Riley stated that he likes this idea. <br /> Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated that the nice thing about moving utilities is that they <br /> can act as a standalone function for the time being, as they do not use the heavy equipment. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma asked how this temporary solution would impact the timeline for the <br /> public works facility. He asked for input on the option that this option was bypassed and the <br /> public works facility moved forward today. <br /> City Council Work Session/April 9, 2019 <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br />
