Envelope
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
BACKGROUND:
In late August of 2002 we became aware of mold in the Civic Complex. In the
subsequent months we contracted with professionals to clean up the mold, upgrade our
HVAC system and assess the source of the problem. On May 7, 2003, the City Council
received the latest report from the Institute for Environmental Assessment (IAE).
According to the report, testing done to date has uncovered potential problems with the
building envelope and additional testing is recommended for verification. The cost of the
testing is estimated to be $8,000.
We are requesting authorization to use $8,000 from the Capital Improvement Program
Fund (401) to pay for additional testing to the building envelope of the Civic Complex.
OPTIONS:
1. Adopt Resolution 03 -69 Authorizing $8,000 in Expenditures from the Capital
Improvement Fund (401) for Additional Testing of the Civic Center Building
Envelope.
2. Decline to Adopt Resolution 03 -69.
3. Return to staff for further review and/or action.
