- 2 - <br /> • have not received any response to my letter dated September 2, but have done <br /> some additional research regarding the necessary modifications that would be <br /> required to make the building usable. The specific improvements that would be <br /> required would include frost footings and three rows of block under each of the <br /> buildings, wire mesh over the windows and rubber skate tile on the interior of <br /> the building. Estimated cost to make these improvements are as follows : <br /> 1 . Frost footings and block would be approximately $1 ,200 per building. <br /> 2. Interior skate tile would run approximately $800 per building. <br /> 3. Exterior window screening would be approximately $200 and the initial electrical <br /> hook up would be approximately $300 per building. <br /> This would bring a total cost of modifications to $2,500 per building. <br /> Staff is requesting Council direction at this time as to whether or not we should <br /> continue persuing the feasibility of purchasing these buildings from a financial <br /> perspective. It would be staff's recommendation that the buildings could function <br /> • very well as warming house buildings and the cost of $7 ,500 per building would be <br /> far below what our costs would be to purchase comparable facilities. The specific <br /> recommendations that staff would have regarding the buildings would be to purchase <br /> three of the buildings to be located at Groveland, Hillview and Greenfield Parks <br /> with a total projected cost of $22,500. It should be further noted that the <br /> buildings do come, as indicated earlier, with central air conditioning and one of <br /> staff's recommendations that could possibly be utilized would be to use one of <br /> the central air conditioning units at the public works garage as they are currently <br /> just using a window unit. There may be some additional costs to hook up the air <br /> conditioning at the public works garage, but we see that as a real benefit for the <br /> working conditions of the city crew. Staff will be on hand to respond to any <br /> questions or concerns the council may have regarding the buildings and to dialogue <br /> with you regarding the feasibility of purchasing the buildings . <br /> BKA/sll <br />
