038 <br />COUNCIL WORK SESSION MINUTES MARCH 21, 1991 <br />of a flat roof. Mr. Nelson explained why he felt this type <br />of roof was workable, also explaining how it would be an <br />energy saver. Mr. Nelson and Ms. Luken will be looking into <br />an extended warrantee for the roof. <br />Ms. Luken gave the council the option of glass doors for the <br />fire hall. The council felt this was a good idea. This type <br />of door was well received in Apple Valley when recently <br />installed in their new hall. <br />Ms. Luken presented a second design option to the council for <br />their consideration. This second design had a slight bow in <br />the front, designed to produce a better look. <br />Mayor Bisel questioned whether or not we should consider at <br />this point adding a second bay. Chief Bennett replied that <br />we would probably need another fire building before we would <br />need the additional bay. Council member Neal questioned the <br />lack of sleeping quarters. While there is room for future <br />expansion of this nature, Chief Bennett felt that as we do <br />not have a full time department, there would be little need <br />for sleeping quarters for fire department members. <br />Mayor Bisel requested that we go around the table and each <br />council member explain which design they preferred, and why. <br />He also said that it would be best if the whole council could <br />agree unanimously on a design. Mr. Reinert agreed that a <br />concensus would be best. <br />Mayor Bisel felt that option #2 was more to his liking. <br />Council Member Kuether agreed, stating that option #1 <br />(square) looked to institutional and reminder her a bit of <br />Alcatraz. Mr. Bohjanen also felt that #2 was more to his <br />taste, adding that #1 looked as if it had a very large tomato <br />soup can in the front of it. Mr. Reinert at first felt the <br />lines on option #1 were cleaner and more to his taste. He <br />added that he really had no preference, and as they are both <br />functional, he would vote with the majority and go with <br />option #2. Mr. Neal did not agree, and instead voted for <br />option #1. He felt we might be able to save some money with <br />option #1. He added that for an additional $40,000.00 in <br />today's dollars, he would like to see the fourth bay added. <br />Chief Bennett again stated that he did not want to have all <br />his equipment at one end of the city some day. It was the <br />concensus of the City Council to proceed with with Option #2, <br />and proceed with plans and specifications based on this <br />design. <br />Mayor Bisel asked staff what they thought of the plans. Mr. <br />Schumacher stated that he had originally preferred option #1, <br />but has as of late changed his mind and now prefers option <br />#2. Chief Bennett stated that he did not care one way or <br />another as long as it functioned. <br />PAGE 2 <br />
