Building Committee <br />Councilman Christ presented an estimate of construction costs for <br />the new City office building. <br />Architect Costs <br />$12,000 <br />Insurance <br />12,000 <br />Excavation/Fill <br />10,000 <br />Concrete Work <br />10,000 <br />Building Materials <br />35,000 <br />Heating/Air Conditioning <br />12,000 <br />Plumbing <br />10,000 <br />Electrical <br />6,000 <br />Septic/Water Hookup <br />3,000 <br />Interior/Exterior Finish <br />17,000 <br />Landscape <br />3,000 <br />Miscellaneous <br />10,000 <br />TOTAL $1 04�,000 <br />Councilman Christ reported that they are planning to lay blocks at <br />the end of the week and then they can proceed with the backfilling <br />and then pouring of the floor. Because of a small revision that <br />was made, the committee is awaiting the finalized plans in order <br />to bid out the materials. <br />B. Lake Jane Water Supply System Proposal <br />The Ramsey and Washington County Boards voted to give a total of <br />$175,000 for the installation of a new public water supply system <br />for 10 homes near the former county -operated Lake Jane landfill. <br />Complete installation, ownership and operation of the proposed <br />system would be up to the City. These funds were offered as an <br />alternative to the installation of granular activated carbon <br />filtration units in 4 individual wells. <br />Councilman Christ estimated that $175,000 amounts to about <br />three -fourths of the cheapest cost for such a system, and would <br />leave $50-60,000 remaining cost to be shared among 10 homeowners. <br />The counties didn't take into account that there are over 20 homes <br />affected. Christ added that the counties seem to think they've <br />done us a big favor and again they have taken the cheap way out. <br />He suggested that maybe the courts should decide who should pay. <br />Councilwoman Armstrong warned the homeowners that if the City <br />turns this down now, it's probably going to take two years before <br />
