�ounds View City Council egular Meeting Page Nine June 14, 1993 i E. • '� Ms. Trude asked if there were different levels of design for the Senior Center such as a nice design, mediocre design and a shabby design so that th� project would not have to be thrown out all together if the costs were too high. Mayor Linke stated that the theory he supports is that if the costs are too high, then one has to start paring back and looking at what can be cut. Ms. Trude stated that the meeting room is nice in the Senior Center but does it need to be two stories. Ms. Trude realizes that the seniors need a congregate place, but do they need all the extra rooms. Ms. Trude stated that perhaps the Senior Center would be easier to sell if it were cheaper. Mayor Linke stated that the City is asking the Task Force to come up with the costs in 1993/1994 dollars per the resolution being considered. Orduno read the portion of the resolution that relates to the request by the City that the Task Force provide a breakdown of all equipment costs in 1993/94 dollars and a more precise breakdown on construction and engineering costs in 1993/94 dollars. Orduno stated that some of the figures are in 1991 dollars and that the City would like to see dollar amounts that would be closer to the time that the Senior Center would be built. Councilmember Blanchard emphasized that this resolution does not commit the City to any spending, but will give the City more information.
