AGENDA ITEM 4C
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Linda Waite Smith, City Administrator
MEETING DATE: December 16, 2002
TOPIC: Consider Resolution 02-180 Authorizing Expenditure
Not to Exceed $20,000 from Capital Improvement
Fund (401) to Pay for Analyses of Civic Complex
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
BACKGROUND:
As we continue to address mold issues in the civic complex, we have been advised by a
representative of the Institute for Environmental Assessment and by an attorney who
specializes in litigating mold cases, to obtain independent third party analyses of the
building shell and of the mechanical systems. The purpose of the evaluations is to
identify the source of the mold. Therefore, the analysis should be done before we
proceed with remediation measures in the remaining two sections of the complex.
The cost of the two analyses is estimated to be $20,000. Our consultants will assist us in
selecting qualified evaluators.
Per Resolution 02-180, we are requesting authorization to spend up to $20,000 from the
Capital Improvement Program Fund (401) to pay for analyses of the civic complex
building shell and mechanical systems.

1. Adopt Resolution 02-180 Authorizing Expenditures Not to Exceed $20,000 from

2. Decline to Adopt Resolution 02-180.
3. Return to staff for further review and/or action.
