MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 9, 1981 PAGE 2 Councilmember Larson moved, seconded by Mayor Warkentien, that the Assess- ment Hearing on Sanitary Sewer Delinquent Charges be held October 7, 1981 at 8:30 p.m. and that the Clerk Administrator be authorized to publish the Notice of Hearing. Motion carried unanimously. Clerk Administrator Barnes requested Council approve a salary increase for Delrose Ewan, Municipal Liquor Store Employee (from 3.50 to $3.75 per hour). Mayor Warkentien moved, seconded by Councilmember Eggert, that the increase be approved. Motion carried unanimously. Engineer Lemberg introduced Architect David A. Shea, Mechanical Engineer Don Billing and Electrical Engineer Bob Voight, all of whom worked with Engineer Lemberg on the study of the possible renovation of the Muni- cipal Liquor Store. Mr. Voigt stated that he found the electrical system in reasonably good condition, however, the building was short on receptacles in some areas. Mr. Billing commented that both the heating and air con- ditioning systems are not energy efficent.and recommended a roof top , system for the front store area. He also suggested that the sprinkler system should be extended to the first floor area. Mr. Shea then pre- sented his drawings and plans for improvement of the interior and ex- terior of the building, including the addition of a vestibule at the main entrance to form a wind blocllc. The cost estimates for the proposed projects were (1) Electrical $3,500 to $4,500, (2) Mechanical $30,000 to $41,000 and (3) General and Architectural $105,00 0 to $130,000. Following the presentations Council discussed the study. Councilmember Eggert stated he would be in favor of the absolute necessities such as a new roof, energy conservation, boiler and air conditioning if they are energy inefficient, and, perhaps, the vestibule idea as an energy con- servation measure. He also requested the Clerk Administrator inquire as to whether or not additional sprinklers would lower insurance rates. Mayor Warkentien inquired as to whether or not the building is structur- ally sound enough to warrant all the proposed changes and was assured by Mr. Shea that it is. Mayor Warkentien s"tated he was not sure the stare has sufficient business to warrant such costly improvements. Council agreed that the matter should be discussed further when all members are present and that the discussion should be addressed to determining which features are most important. - Engineer Lemberg informed that his group would be happy to discuss the matter further at a later date, if so desired, and that the presentation made was to point out items that should have attention and to give an idea of what is possible through renovation. 2~tayor Warkentien presented Resolution 81-12 providing for the City's parti- cipation in the Metropolitan HRA Rehabilitation Home Improvement Loan Program. Councilmember Eggert stated that he opposed the concept of the program. Mayor Warkentien moved, seconded by Councilmember Larson, that Resolution 81-12 be adopted.
