MINUTES City Council Apr~il 13, 1988 City Center• Scalze also pointed out the ability of the confer•ence r•oom adjacent to Expansion the Council Chambers to be used for overflow. (Cont.) Scalze suggested that SEH deter•mine how many people could be accommo- dated by the Council Chamber•s as pr•oposed with the use of the confer•ence r~oom as well. Lindahl r~eviewed his memo with r•egar~d to a full basement under~ the addition with the r•ecommendation that a basement be pr•ovided under~ the pr•oposed r~estr~ooms and confer~ence r~oom ar•ea. This basement ar•ea would be connected to the existing basement under• the City Center~. Lindahl explained that if the basement ar•ea was to be used for• public use, elevators as well as a second access would be required and which would be ver•y expensive. Lindahl explained the pr~oposal with r•egar•d to the Recr•eation Depar~tment office and access to this ar~ea as well as the basement ar•ea fr~om the outside without the need to go thr•ough the r•est of the City Center• building. Blesener~ suggested that a door• be installed which would secure access to the basement ar•ea pointing out that as pr•oposed the basement would be accessible to the public without the knowledge of the Recr~eation Depar•tment. Lindahl explained the office lay-out as pr•oposed in the plan. Lindahl then addr•essed the suggestion for• stor•age over• the Council Chambers in the attic as outlined in his April 4th memo. Lindahl concluded that it would not be economically feasible to pr~ovide such attic stor~age due to access issues and r•oof tr•uss r•equir•ements. Scalze asked if ther~e was a r~equir•ement on the number• of bathroom fixtur•es needed. Lindahl explained that pr~esent bathr•oom facilities would be limited to employee use. The bathr~ooms as pr•oposed in the addition would be available to the public and Code would require two fixtures per bathroom. The plan proposed three fixtures per bathr~oom. Lindahl explained the or•ientation of the Council Chamber•s. Lindahl then r~eviewed the cost estimate for• the expansion which amounts to $360,700 and includes r~eplacing of existing siding with br~ick on the entir~e building, r~eshingling of the r•oof, addition of a skylight, r•emodeling of the existing facility, site wor~k allowance, fur~nitur~e allowance, ar•chitectur•al and engineer•ing ser•vices and a 7% contingency fund. Collova asked the height of the ceiling pr•oposed in the Council Chamber•s. Lindahl r•enlied that a 12 foot ceiling is pr~oposed, but ther~e is the ability for~ a sloped ceiling if the Council so desir~ed. Page -10-
