CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION July 5, 2017 DRAFT 4 Council Member Rafferty recalled the department’s early recommendation on the 134 purchase from Woodbury and asked if those trucks were intended for training from the 135 onset? Director Swenson recalled the development of the need for training. Mayor 136 Reinert said he’s comfortable with the fact that the equipment has served a purpose and 137 may provide revenue to the city. 138 139 Director Swenson said he would proceed with working with the Brinlee Mountain 140 Company on the marketing of the equipment. Mayor Reinert directed staff to try and 141 make as much off the trucks as possible. Council Member Manthey asked if there is 142 time to work the market and Director Swenson said it’s tied to the timing of the 143 requirement for recertification. 144 145 Director Swenson also received council concurrence on donating some hard suction host 146 that is no longer useful to the city. It was agreed that the equipment would be donated to 147 the Centennial Fire District. He will bring the matter to the council for official 148 authorization. 149 4) Public Works Facility Audit Payment and Proposal for Additional Architectural 150 Services - Public Services Director DeGardner reviewed his written staff report, 151 including the history of this project to date. 152 153 Mayor Reinert remarked that the council wants to receive the information that they paid 154 for. The work received didn’t include what was specifically requested. Now the 155 council is receiving this (representing the work originally requested) with a request to be 156 paid for the “additional” work. He suggests that the council work session recording of 157 previous council consideration will tell the tale. He clarified that he has stated in a 158 previous meeting that he isn’t interested in new buildings. He sees the goal as getting the 159 city’s equipment out of the weather. He didn’t see anything representing that option 160 brought back. 161 162 Council Member Manthey said he recalls the three options brought forward and actually 163 that was what he expected. He would like to see additional information but he doesn’t 164 necessarily recall that request. He recalls discussion about what the city will need 165 looking ahead to the future. 166 167 Mayor Reinert suggested that providing only three $12 million options isn’t what he 168 wanted and isn’t appropriate. This is the difference between a want and a need – the 169 need being to get equipment out of the weather and repair the public works building. 170 171 Council Member Kusterman suggested that he got what he expected, not to say that he’s 172 interested in spending that much money. 173 174 Mayor Reinert said he recalls specifically his request and he feels it was ignored. He 175 doesn’t think that the bill should be paid until the job is finished. 176 177
