The expansion envisions a regional facility drawing visitors to the area resulting in investments by the private sector specific to commercial and retail. The expansion would allow increased recreational and entertainment opportunities to Mounds View Residents. The Council authorized and received an economic assessment specific to operations as a regional youth amateur sports venue from CSL earlier this year as part of this exploration. Feasibility of the project is dependent upon State Bonding inclusion, which requires concept drawings, and validated construction cost estimates. The Council has also interviewed and selected a governmental relations firm to assist in the bonding process. At their September 2022 workshop, council directed staff to seek out up to three architectural firms qualified to provide concept drawing and validated cost estimates and interviewed Adkins, Kodet, and Oertel at their October 2022 workshop. At their October 10, 2022 Council meeting, Council adopted a resolution to hire Kodet. Directors Beer, Peterson and Administrator Zikmund met with Kodet on October 18, 2022 for 2.5 hours to begin the process. As part of the overall project, a "Condition Assessment of the existing building is required with Kodet providing a cost of $9,400. In order to ascertain all costs related to the expansion, staff is recommending this assessment be completed and added to their work product as part of the expansion exploration. The assessment would consist of an in-depth analysis of the HVAC system, Electrical System, Roofing, exterior maintenance needs, interior maintenance needs, and overall condition of the building. The assessment encompasses the entire structure, not just the expansion area. The Mounds View Vision A Thriving Desirable Community
