TO DISCUSS THE MIS5ION OF THE LITTLE CANADA HISTORICAL SOCIETY The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Morelan. Ayes (4) LaValle, Morelan, Pedersen, Scalze. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. SPOONER The City Administrator reported that four proposals PARK have been received from architects for design SHELTER services for the Spooner Park Shelter project. The Administrator reported the low proposal was received £rom RVK Architects, the firm which designed the Pioneer Park building and warming house at Roseville Area Middle School. Pedersen felt the low bid of $9,400 seemed like a lot of money for the design of a picnic shelter. Pedersen asked if there were alternative ways to do the design, like purchasing stock plans. The City Administrator suggested there could be options to explore, such as City Staff supervising the project. Staff could discuss this with RVK Architects, or try to find someone who has designed a building the City likes and try to purchase those plans. Pedersen suggested another option would be to consult with a contractor or draftsman who might be able to come up with an acceptable proposal. LaValle pointed out that the RVK Architects proposal was for 157 hours of project time. LaValle felt this was a lot of time for a project this size. Morelan felt l00 of project costs was not out of line for architectural fees. 5
