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 />
