MINUTES <br />City Council <br />January 4, 1990 <br />Boss felt the City could plan on consistent help from <br />charities continuing above and beyond the land <br />acquisition costs. <br />Blesener suggested that the $80,000 be included in the <br />cost estimates at this time and a final decision could <br />be made at the bond hearing. <br />The Administrator pointed out that if issuance of the <br />bond is delayed, the City risks having to go to a <br />referendum because of Legislative changes that may come <br />in. He also stated that the numbers are preliminary at <br />this time, and, hopefully, they are adequate to ensure <br />enought funds for the project. Therefore, there is a <br />trade-off in allowing more time for this decision. <br />Blesener pointed out that Boarman & Associates have <br />done a number of fire halls, therefore, their numbers <br />should be close. <br />LaValle pointed out the need for soil tests on the <br />property. <br />Scalze asked if alternate bids would be a part of the <br />bidding package. <br />Kroos replied that there would be alternates. One <br />example of an alternate would be burnished block as the <br />base bid, with an alternate for brick. <br />Fahey suggested that since there would be a 1991 <br />occupancy of the fire station, the equipment and <br />furniture portion of the buildinq budget be removed. <br />Fahey also suggested that at the January lOth Council <br />meeting, the Council discuss the architect for the fire <br />station project. <br />Graczyk asked about demolition of the existing <br />structures on the site. <br />Fahey pointed out that the City does not own the <br />property as yet, and suggested that this matter be <br />referred to the City Administrator. <br />Blesener suggested that the Building Inspector could <br />look at the structures to determine if it is feasible <br />to move them to another site. <br />Page 11 <br />
