Public Works Facility — Mayor Rafferty noted that there are three new <br />17 councilmembers and there's an opportunity to bring them up to date on past discussions. <br />18 The mayor noted that any discussion has to include costs and how that can be done in <br />19 light of the taxpayers. He understands and would highlight the need for facilities. <br />20 <br />21 Administrator Cotton recalled previous consultant work to look at options. She believes <br />22 that a tour for new councilmembers would be an appropriate next step. And looking <br />23 ahead, moving to facilities planning will be important. Councilmember Stoesz asked if <br />24 the public would be invited to tour the facilities and Ms. Cotton suggested that it would <br />25 be a posted meeting. <br />26 <br />27 Mayor Rafferty spoke to the importance of investing in the community and the future. <br />28 He is in favor of a tour in the near future. <br />29 <br />30 Councilmember Ruhland asked for the ballpark estimate (2019). Ms. Cotton said it was <br />31 phased but approximately $5 million; site analysis was about $12 million. There are <br />32 constraints because there is no City sewer and water at the current site. Mayor Rafferty <br />33 remarked that he hasn't supported moving the site. <br />34 <br />35 Councilmember Cavegn asked if a tear down or addition is proposed. Mayor Rafferty <br />36 remarked that a tour could make it more obvious. <br />37 <br />38 Councilmember Ruhland noted the community center discussion and earmarking funds <br />39 toward that; is there any bonding pay off coming up past that? Ms. Cotton suggested the <br />40 tour first with the study in hand and discussion on plans following that. <br />41 <br />42 Councilmember Lyden asked, how large is the parcel? Public Services Director <br />43 DeGardner said the city owns 24 acres; the public works use is a portion. <br />44 <br />
