-2- <br />C <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 4r-^� <br />far below what our costs would be to purchase comparable facilities. The specil <br />recommendations that staff would have -egarding 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 tho nAlic 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 />
