Some of the equipment ~s getting aged and some of'the building is in need of' repair. The Committee discussed the ~owing needs of Public Works and the possibility of a po~'tabIe temporary classroom facility. They also discussed the future of this area and the bility o£ expanding this out to Limonite Street to the west. It was noted that with the Town Center thcy would be needing more area wit. h this campus. Councilmember Elvig stated the Public Works Department has a si~nificant need, as the department is basically working out of a tin shed with make shift ~ffices. There are a certa/n amount of' improvernents that will be required when· they look at thel size of the City and where they arc going. Also, it seems natural that the City would.get fairly aggres_sive about acquiring the hist chunk of land available that is connected with this property. Cauncilmember Zimmennan asked if the land at' the northwest corner of the facility out to Limonitc Street is part of the land the City is negotiating for. . City Administrator Nornlan replied it is not currently, but the land is in the City's plan for negotiations. The City has been in contact regarding this, but they are not in active negotiation. Councilmember Elvig stated the sooner this land could be acquired it would be better with the g~'owth o£ Town Cemer. The property will not get any less expensive as they go along. Councilmember Cool< noted they may want to look in this area for land for a water plant at some point. The land will not get any cheaper with the development across the street fi'om it.
