Ms. Nelson inquired about charitable gambling funds to which Ms. Lund stated that the use of <br />that money has to be youth oriented. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Council was to bring the policy to a City Council meeting for approval and also <br />to bring a contract for service for the Alexandra House in the amount of $6,500 for year 2006. <br /> <br />#3: Review Existing Municipal Center Proposal from BKV Group <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson stated that there has been discussion about the future use of <br />the existing municipal site. We need to continue using the fire station and discuss how to <br />manage our maintenance, etc. We asked for a proposal from BKV Group (the City's architects <br />for the new Municipal Center) to work through some of these things. The BKV Group is also <br />familiar with our current property. The proposal is in the amount of $6,400 which would get us <br />through the concept design program and get it to the point of "this is what we are going to do". <br />Based on this plan, we would have construction documents. Staff feels it is a fairly priced <br />proposal and especially so based on their history with us. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman stated we can bring this back for formal approval. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec inquired if this includes the Police building. <br /> <br />Ms. Nelson replied that the Police building has not really been talked about so far. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec felt that it was a very feasible building to rent and that he has heard some interest <br />expressed in renting it. <br /> <br />Mr. Norman explained he is not sure how he feels about renting plus you have the double task of <br />getting the tenant(s) out if the building were up for demolition. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen inquired if access is an issue. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig thought you could get a lease drawn up that could get the ranter out <br />quickly. It might be a nice incubator spot. <br /> <br />Ms. Nelson offered that we could look at that but we would not really need an architect to do <br />that. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig inquired if we could have the EDA look at it as they have talked about the <br />incubator idea. <br /> <br />Ms. Nelson stated that it could be discussed but that we should have the tenant responsible for <br />everything. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec suggested that people may look at it as temporary office space. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session/November 7, 2005 <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
