Mayor Gamec stated that cost is a factor. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued relating to some things that could be done with the lobby. One of the items <br />talked about was putting the counter crosswise and expanding the secretary's area. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman agreed that Council and staff should look at the cost of renovating <br />what we have. There might be a new City Hall in the future, but not now. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec asked what could be solved quickly. <br /> <br />Mr. Kroos stated that you are talking about another Band-Aid. You can spend money to make <br />more space but he is not sure that is money well spent. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that we talked about wanting to do nice things for the <br />employees and talking about a better lunchroom - now you don't want that. <br /> <br />Mr. I<h-oos commented that the difference is short term and long term review. If we are talking <br />about a building by 2008, then he is in favor of that. We only need to pick up about 1,000 square <br />feet of space between now and 2006. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec talked about nicer Council Chambers. He feels a facility is important - he did not <br />care about a date - dollars and cents make a difference. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak stated we need figures to make a decision. What would a new City Hall <br />cost eight years from now and would it be built in a town center. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen stated he thinks we are talking about $100,000. <br /> <br />Another gentleman, representing E & V (?), stated you are asking us to put dollar amounts in for <br />the cost to remodel existing space. We are bringing space needs to you because we thought <br />that's what Council wanted. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated he feels it looks like an intent to fluff these numbers up. <br />Everything is predicted on false assumptions, <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated he would like to see some figures. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that the leaking ceilings should not be thrown into the <br />remodeling costs. He reiterated if we are talking about building onto City Hall somewhere in the <br />2008 period, you have my whole support. He added that the improvements he is talking about <br />are not more than 1,000 feet of additional space. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated he didn't know who was right, he needs to see some figures. <br /> <br />The lady representing E & V (?) stated what they are presenting is the space needs. Now we <br />would like to look at your existing space and put together dollar amounts to renovate and/or add <br /> <br />City Council Work Session/July 5, 2001 <br /> Page 4 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
