Some <br />remodeling of the existing garage is also proposed to create a <br />conference room and additional office area for the Police Department. <br />Minetor stated the cost to convert the water treatment plant into a <br />police garage is approximately $43,600 and the remodeling of the <br />existing garage area to be an approximate cost of $27,680. The total <br />cost including general condition allowance and contingency for <br />unexpected items would be approximately $86,240.

This fund was established through <br />monies from a closed bond fund. There is approximately $300,000 in <br />this fund for remodeling of City Hall. <br />Ric Minetor, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, stated that <br />the City has two options. One option would be to go out to bid for <br />this project and the other is to receive a quote from the contractor <br />now working on this building. <br />Councilmember Rickaby stated that she would be in favor of going out <br />to bid because this contractor could also submit his bid to the City <br />for the proposed work. <br />Councilmember Quick stated that the Police Department is crowded, the <br />evidence room is jam packed and the need to obtain more space for this <br />department is a necessity. <br />Councilmember Rickaby commended staff for their efforts in coming up <br />with an alternative plan to the remodeling of City Hall which saves <br />the City a great deal of money. <br />MOTIONf SECOND: Rickaby/Quick to approve concept plan for conversion <br />of water treatment plant to police garage and remodeling of existing <br />garage and to await estimate from present contractor. <br />VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br />C, <br />
