Mounds View City Council August 23, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 20 Council Member Stigney stated he understood the parking requirement to be one stall per employee on the busiest shift. He inquired regarding the implications of the word "employee." He explained that many employees are contract people coming in and out of the building. He inquired if someone was contracted for a day, would they also require a parking stall to be provided for them, or does this just pertain to full-time employees. Planning Associate Ericson stated the intent was to consider a person an employee, if they were going to be present eight hours a day, five days a week, on any given shift. He explained that it would probably be a judgement call at the time this type of use came before the City with the Conditional Use procedure, as to how they would clarify or quantify the number of employees. He stated this was a valid point. He noted staff did not want to further complicate the issue by indicating full-time equivalent, consultants, and the like, and given that this type of use would have to come before the City Council, they felt this language would be adequate. He explained that they could respond to each proposal coming forward, knowing that the number of stalls would be for the number of people present on one shift, be that consultants or employees. He added that he did not think the Code intends to provide a stall for someone who is there, for example, two hours each week, but certainly for someone who will be present on a full-time basis. Council Member Stigney noted that it was presented that a large portion of the facilities' staffing would be handled on a contract basis, however, he thought this language provided would probably be sufficient for the overall purpose intended. E. Consideration of Resolution 5370, a Resolution Regarding Changing Rooms/Showers at the Community Center. Teri Blattenbauer, YMCA Program Executive, provided the Council with information requested at the August 23, City Council Meeting, in regard to the additional projected revenue from the additional amenity to the Community Center. She stated that very conservatively, through additional in-house and MSS sponsored tournaments at different times throughout the day, they projected $5,600 for the first year. She reiterated this was a conservative estimate. Ms. Blattenbauer stated the additional projected expense, which would include the cleaning and maintenance supplies, water, etc, would be approximately $7,500 for the first year. She noted they anticipate that in subsequent years they could increase the revenue to almost double the estimate, approximately $10,000. Ms. Blattenbauer stated staff had contacted two architectural firms, to determine the architectural fees, which were not included in the original cost estimate, and the original fee would be approximately $12,000. She stated of the two contacts she had made, one was $4,000 less than the other. She stated it would be her recommendation to hire the architectural engineers who had bid in at the lower end. Ms. Blattenbauer stated at this point, the cost estimate provided by the plumbers and the construction company totaled $111, 300, and the total amount with the architectural fees would not exceed $130,000. She stated staff would like to proceed with the bidding process. She noted they had received additional information pertaining to TIF funding that date, as well.
