COUNCIL BUSINESS <br /> <br />7.01: Status Update on New Public Works Building Design and Cost Estimates <br /> <br />Public Works Director Riemer reviewed the staff report and provided an update to the Council <br />on the new Public Works building design and cost estimates. <br /> <br />Andrew Cooper, Ortel, provided background on the design process which began about two <br />months ago and included building programing and design options. He conducted a brief “tour” <br />of the site plan and highlighted the flow that vehicles, staff and the general public will use and <br />provided details on the different proposed spaces within the building.
