The purpose of the work session was a presentation by Winsor /Faricy of the Municipal Facility Study. Ms. Ellen Luken, Timothy G. Quigley and Eugene C. Nelson were present representing Winsor /Faricy. Mr. Schumacher explained that Winsor /Faricy was hired several months ago to preform a facilities need study. The Staff has been working with representatives of Winsor /Faricy and a needs analysis has been completed. Mr. Schumacher noted that a lot of hard work and effort has gone into this study. He explained that everyone is interested in municipal facilities and what the facilities should look like, the concentration should be on what the needs are. The study was prompted by the lack of space at city hall and the fact that there is no space to grow. Mr. Schumacher cited examples of growth in the community that has precipitated the increase in staff and the need for space for Staff. He also noted that at present there is a trailer at the back of city hall to handle the overflow of staff. Mr. Schumacher explained that matters like this portray an image to the community and he asked if this is the image the Council wished to portray. Mr. Schumacher explained the mandate to Winsor /Faricy was to investigate the present Staff and space and to project the size of the Staff in five (5) years and ten (10) years and then project the space needed for the Staff as well as for community service needs. A realistic projection was requested. Ms. Luken explained that she is the project manager for this study. She noted that she, Mr. Nelson and Mr. Quigley have all participated in completing the study. In addition, Barton Aschman provided information regarding fire department response times and sites for locations of fire stations and Cost Management Planning International (CPMI) provided information regarding cost data.
