Councilmember Riley stated that initially he was not thinking the addition was a good idea but realized that this build out supports the current equipment and not the vehicles planned in the next few years. He stated that the design should focus on the function of public works and agreed with Councilmember Heinrich that he would support that space being used to the best ability of public works. Councilmember Specht asked how often the group gathers as a large group. Public Works Superintendent Riemer replied that the group all meets together once a month and also completes training. He noted that currently the group meets in the Lake Itasca room, filling every seat in that room. He noted that the group also meets every morning before work begins, which is split up between the different groups. Councilmember Menth stated that there are safety meetings, before shift meetings and there should be space to do that within the facility. He commented that the great amenity of allowing public use of the building is letting the public into the space to get more use of their tax dollars and see the space. City Administrator Ulrich confirmed that staff will move forward with option three, with the direction to potentially optimize the multi-purpose meeting/public space. 8. MAYOR, COUNCIL AND STAFF INPUT City Administrator Ulrich announced upcoming meetings and events. Councilmember Heinrich thanked the Fire Department and Ramsey residents for the success of the mask drive. 9.
