CITY COUNCIL MEETING, SEPTEMBER 18, 1979 -2- MAINTENANCE BUILDING: convential free standing to a totally earth sheltered building. A. Convential Free Standing Building - 3300 sq. ft. on first level, 80 ft. long with a 10 ft. x 64 ft. mezzanine level on the back. The interior includes a toilet and office or break- rom. Access will either be from the north, using the existing road, or in line with 42nd Street. The structure will be pre- cast reinforced concrete panels. "B", "C" and "D" will have the same .concrete panels forming the roof; "A" will use open web steel joist for the roof. Basically the building for "A" through "D" is the same with each alternative being a little more earth sheltered. Building costs increase as the structure is more earth sheltered, because additional structure in the wall is needed to withstand the soil pressure. The cost range is $100,000 for a free standing building to $165,000 for a totally earth sheltered structure. This estimate is for the building only, no site work or engineering fees are included, but plumbing and gas fired unit heaters are figured in. The Council agreed Concept "B" is most desirable. Expansion appears easier and the wingwalls can be eliminated by regrading the site to provide the needed support. Entry will be from 42nd Street. There will be two (2) fire bays and three (3) public works bays. These bays will be separated with a masonary wall that could be taken down. There will be two toilets and an access from the mezzanine level. Railings for the 'roof will be additional. Before any final decision TKDA will provide fuel saving cal- culations for Council review. Yard storage, placement of interior walls and sanitary facilities will be discussed at the October 18 meeting. Also landscaping to define fire and maintenance areas. TKDA will draw up alternatives reflecting the Council's concept. The idea of fencing in the maintenance area and site alternatives will be discussed. OLD LANDFILL BUILDING; The Administrator .requested TKDA to review the heating problems in the building and suggest sore improvements for insulation. The estimate is $7,000 with an additional $3,000 if framing for insulation is required. This would be necessary, as there is no way to place and attach new insulation over the old. The architect estimated it would take 10 years to realize the cost effectiveness of this project. No action by the Council. YOUTH SERVICE BUREAU: Dale Fuerstenberg - Pott stated that he feels the Council does not disagree with the value of this service, the question is one of funding it it in an appropriate manner. Officer Fuerestenber_g is not here soliciting funds, but to inform the Council of the advantages of the YSB. This is a very effective tool in dealing with juveniles involved with minor violations, on the other hand, the Courts accomplish little by hand slapping. The Bureau deals with restitution, acts as an alternative method to court, and involves juveniles and their parents in counciling programs. The reaction from the juveniles when police refer them to the Bureau is more favorable.
