-4- <br />January 27, 1975 <br />Mayor Johnson requested the administrator to arrange interviews <br />with the applicants for the February 3rd agenda session and <br />directed the administrator to reschedule Commissioner Orth at <br />between 7:45 -8:00 that night. <br />Administrator Achen commented on the two construction projects . <br />which have exceeded the monies allocated in the November,1974, <br />bond issue: Project 1973 -6, ($100) and Project 1973 -5, ($4200). <br />The financial consultant recommends using monies from other con- <br />struction funds to balance these. <br />MSP (Johnson- Hodges) To authorize transfers from the Project <br />1972 -3 (1973 -2 & 3) Fund, if surplus monies are available there, <br />to the Project 1973 -6 and Project 1973 -5 Funds in order to <br />balance and close them. <br />5 Ayes <br />Administrator Achen reported that the architect had provided <br />cost estimates for three alternates to the conference room in <br />the new addition. He also noted that plans for remodelling the <br />existing wing call for replacement of the existing floor in the <br />old council chambers area. Contrary to what the architect <br />thought, the existing floor does drain adequately to one corner <br />of the room. The administrator recommended that the floor not <br />be replaced. This will save $1,300 - $1,600 which could cover <br />the cost of some changes. <br />Administrator Achen reported that the contract does not include <br />electrically operating garage doors in the new police garage. <br />These will cost $800 - $1000 extra. The general contractor <br />said there might be sufficient surplus in the hardware allow- <br />ance to cover this cost. The administrator reported that a <br />firm cost estimate has not been received from the architect on the <br />earlier changes requested regarding the millwork. <br />A rough estimate of $2,000 extra has been made by the architect. <br />The administrator estimated that $23,500 is the available balance <br />in the building fund. <br />Councilman Pickar stated that he favors leaving the existing floor <br />for the new police garage. <br />Mayor Johnson asked the cost of the sprinkler system. <br />The administrator stated it would be around $4,000 - $5,000 <br />depending on the new bids. <br />Mayor Johnson asked how much money is left in the building fund <br />and how much of the architect's fee is being held by the city. <br />Councilman Baumgartner stated he favors determining the balance <br />available considering the amount held on the architect's fee <br />and getting firm prices on the conference room alternates. The <br />cost of revising the conference room could be used to buy new <br />furniture instead. <br />MSP (Johnson - Baumgartner) To authorize the administrator to sign <br />a change order to leave the existing floor in the new police garage <br />(room no. 119). 5 Ayes <br />
