Council Member Stigney stated the staff report had said it was assumed the building would use the same general plans as the Hillview building with some minor modification. He asked why they were asking for $19,600. Public Works Director Lee stated he had made the assumption they could use the same plans over again, which was true to some degree. He stated there is going to be a lot of expense in terms of coming up with a site plan for the building and also doing the topographic layout for the building.
