Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Connolly, Anderson, <br />and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #4: Preliminary Design Approval of Fire Station No. 2 <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kapler stated that on Thursday, September 9, 1999, the Public Safety Board met to <br />discuss the preliminary design of Fire Station No. 2. Plans and sketches were presented that <br />were provided by the architect firm of SEH, which reflected the floor plan that was given <br />approval by the Public Safety Board on March 11, 1999. The group discussed the design in <br />length and agreed to the preliminary design of the exterior with the following suggestions: <br /> <br />1. Floor to ceiling windows in the administrative area: It was suggested that the amount of <br /> glass be reduced for easier maintenance and aesthetic reasons. <br />2. Loot at a more conventional overhead garage door rather than the pictured garage doors, <br /> which have plexi-glass in them. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen questioned the cost of a curved roof. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kapler replied that the curved roof versus flat roof would cost $20,000 additional. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson expressed concern over a flat roof because of drainage. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kapler replied that he discussed the flat roof with the architect and was informed that <br />if the appropriate materials are used on a flat roof, drainage is not a problem. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly questioned if it would be feasible to make a second level in the future <br />for meeting rooms. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kapler responded that he had not discussed the option, but noted he will research the <br />information. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly stated that she would like Fire ChiefKapler to research the idea. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that one of the things that the City is constrained with is space <br />and that if everything goes well the Fire Station will be a reality before the expansion of City <br />Hall. He questioned if the City could utilize some space for staff in the interim. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kapler stated that he will discuss the options with the architect and questioned if there <br />should be a certain number of people to focus on. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen suggested discussing the issue with the City Administrator. He also <br />requested that they review options that could be done at minimal cost or without any change to <br />the building. <br /> <br />City Council/September 14, 1999 <br /> Page 14 of 23 <br /> <br /> <br />
