MINUTES CITY COUNCIL December 13, 1989 Blesener asked if the estimate included refacing the existing building with brick. Mickelberg reported that the $40 per square foot remodeling costs included some improvements to the exterior of the building, but not a major overhaul with brick. Mickelberg estimated that brick might cost between $7 and $12 per square foot. Fahey again commented that the citizens committee on the expansion of the City Center will meet on Monday morning at 8 A.M. Mickelberg suggested that one of the first issues that needs to be resolved is whether to include a City Center complex with the new Fire Station. Mickelberg pointed out that this decision needs to be made before the two projects can proceed much further. Blesener felt that the Committee would be able to make that decision on Monday morning by reviewing the cost estimates that have been presented. PARADEE Blesener reported that on October 25, 1989, the City ASSESSMENT Council reviewed past history regarding the sewer and CONCERN water assessment for 2875 Jackson Street. Blesener reported that when utilities were put in this area in the late 1960's and early 1970's, the property owner of 2875 Jackson requested not to be included in the improvements. Therefore, no utilities stubs were provided for the property. However, in researching past assessment records, the property was assessed for a sewer stub. The City Engineer agreed that the property was assessed for a sewer stub. However, pointed out that there is no special assessment charge for water stubs, therefore, the property was not assessed for a water stub. Collova asked how stub locations were determined. The City Engineer replied that at the time these improvements went in, his office asked property owners where they would like the stubs. The property owner at the time did not want the stubs unless the improvement went in on Jackson Street. Page 6
