Scalze r~epor•ted that the next item on the agenda is r~eview of plans pr~epar~ed by Shor~t, Elliott & Hendr•ickson for• expansion of the City Center•. SEH has also pr•epar•ed cost estimates for~ the expansion. Blesener• pointed out that the City's r~ecent sur•vey showed support for• the addition of a community r•oom onto the City Center~. Mr•. Dar•win Lindahl, r•epr•esenting SEH, appear•ed befor•e the Council antl r•eviewed their~ pr~oposal for~ an addition to the City Center•. Lindahl pointed out that SEN made a pr~evious expansion pr~oposal which was r•eviewed by the Council and var•ious City depar•tments. Comments wer•e made on this pr•oposal and SEH has attempted to addr•ess these comments and put together a r~evised expansion pr•oposal. Lindahl pointed out that comments wer~e made about the or~ientation of the Council Chambev~s and suggestions ~^rer•e made about the ability to divide the Council Chamber~s in half in or•der~ to pr•ovide additional meeting r•oom. Lindahl explained the pr•oposed plan for• the Council Chamber~s and the orientation of the Council table as well as seating, entr•ance to the chamber•s and accessability to an adjoining confer•ence area. Lindahl also reviewed his memo dated April 4, 1988 regarding the cost of a par•tition to divide the Council Chamber~s. Lindahl then reviewed his memo with regard to the size of the Council Chambers. It had been suggested previously that the Chambers be large enough to accommodate 250 people. However•, due to incr~eased cost factor~s as well as the necessity to maintain a 30 foot setback to the neighbor•ing r•esidential pr~oper~ty to the east or• intr•usion into the pr•esent par•kina ar~ea on the west, this may not be feasible. Scalze indicated that the 250 figur•e came up as this is the member•ship of the 55+ Club. However•, Scalze felt the figur•e was exagger•ated since she did not believe that all member~s of the Club attended all the Club's meetings on a r~egular basis. Scalze suggested that the City get an idea fr~om its senior• citizen coor~dinator• on the aver~age size of 55+ Club meeting attendance. Page -9-
