He stated that one building also <br /> lacks floor drains, which is not good. <br /> Acting Mayor Riley asked when the Public Works office facility was "constructed". <br /> Public Works Superintendent Riemer commented that the current Public Works office is a <br /> doublewide construction trailer, which was obtained in 2005. He noted that currently the floor is <br /> half tile and half subgrade. He provided background on when the current Public Works <br /> buildings were acquired. <br /> Acting Mayor Riley commented that as it exists, the City has not constructed any Public Works <br /> buildings and has simply acquired buildings to use up to this point. <br /> Councilmember Menth recognized that there is a lot of lost time in having to move vehicles and <br /> equipment to access other vehicles and equipment. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove asked for input on the cold storage that will be provided by the <br /> existing Public Works buildings. <br /> Public Works Superintendent commented on the storage that would be made available for Parks, <br /> Police, and potentially recycling. <br /> City Council/February 11,2020 <br /> Page 5 of 8 <br />
