1. Fire Facility Financing- Terri Heaton, Springsted, Inc. financial consultant,
reviewed a PowerPoint presentation with the council (on file). The presentation included
information on the projects to be funded and the type of financing proposed. She
explained the lease revenue and abatement funding processes. The council reviewed a
proposed schedule for financing consideration. Community Development Director
Grochala explained that staff wanted the council to have this review of the financing
process since they will be voting on the bid award later at the council meeting.
2. Review Regular Agenda of February 23, 2015 —
Item 6A, Accepting and Awarding Bids and Awarding Contract for the Lino
Lakes Fire Station Project — Quinn Hutson, CNH Architects, reviewed a PowerPoint
presentation (on file) outlining the results of the bid process for development of the fire
station. His review included a summary of the bid process, the bid results, the base bid
and alternates and a project timeline.
The council discussed Alternate 5 that relates to doors for the station. There are a couple
of options — one is the four -fold doors included by the architect and the other is high
speed coiling doors. The coiling doors would be less expensive. Council Member
Rafferty noted that he has seen the coiling doors in action and knows they are good; his
goal has been to make sure that the council has cost options as the project moves forward.
A representative of the coiling door provider was present and provided additional
information on his product. The council determined that the action on the bid should
include selection of a door model but the option chosen could be changed down the line.
Item 4B, Incentive Program for the Recruitment of Paid On -Call Fire
Personnel — Public Safety Director Swenson reviewed his request to reinstate the
incentive program. He noted that the incentive amounts have been reduced.
