City Administrator Hagen explained that the City is not looking to make a profit on any of these <br />fees; it is just to cover their own costs and Staff time. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was to move forward with the proposed 2026 schedule of rates, fees, <br />and charges. <br /> <br />2.04: Review Revised Municipal Center Conference Room Rental Policy <br /> <br />City Clerk Schmidt reviewed the Staff report concerning revisions to the municipal center <br />conference room rental policy to remove the Rum River Room from the rental list and transition <br />the application process to an online reservation system. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was to move forward with the proposed changes to the municipal <br />center conference room rental policy. <br /> <br />2.05: Construction Management Services for The Waterfront Waterplay Project <br /> <br />Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood reviewed the Staff report in regard to the <br />construction management services for the Waterfront project. <br /> <br />Joe Uhlhorn, H + U Construction, the proposed Construction Manager, reviewed what they would <br />be helping with in regard to this project in the preconstruction phase to ensure the project will be <br />completed next summer. <br /> <br />Councilmember Peters asked if the water for the waterplay area will be treated or just filtered. <br /> <br />Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood said it will be filtered and drawn from the <br />municipal drinking water supply. He added that it will only flow on demand if someone is trying <br />to use the water play area. <br /> <br />Councilmember Olson said he loves this plan of having a construction manager help with the <br />preconstruction phase so everything moves smoothly. He asked if the schedule is doable. <br /> <br />Mr. Uhlhorn said it is an aggressive schedule, but it is doable with the amount of preconstruction <br />work they will be doing. <br /> <br />Councilmember Olson asked if the City has any protection against things going wrong during the <br />project. <br /> <br />Mr. Uhlhorn shared that H + U Construction would provide a performance and payment bond for <br />the project. He added that they have also discussed having some of the subcontracts include <br />liquidated damages. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley shared his appreciation that they are already thinking about a lot of the <br />aspects of this project far before the construction season starts. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / October 28, 2025 <br />Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br />
