Administrator Achen commented on the two construction projects .
which have exceeded the monies allocated in the November,1974,
bond issue: Project 1973 -6, ($100) and Project 1973 -5, ($4200).
The financial consultant recommends using monies from other con-
struction funds to balance these.
MSP (Johnson- Hodges) To authorize transfers from the Project
1972 -3 (1973 -2 & 3) Fund, if surplus monies are available there,

Administrator Achen reported that the architect had provided
cost estimates for three alternates to the conference room in
the new addition. He also noted that plans for remodelling the
existing wing call for replacement of the existing floor in the
old council chambers area. Contrary to what the architect
thought, the existing floor does drain adequately to one corner
of the room. The administrator recommended that the floor not
be replaced. This will save $1,300 - $1,600 which could cover
the cost of some changes.
Administrator Achen reported that the contract does not include
electrically operating garage doors in the new police garage.
These will cost $800 - $1000 extra. The general contractor
said there might be sufficient surplus in the hardware allow-
ance to cover this cost. The administrator reported that a
firm cost estimate has not been received from the architect on the
earlier changes requested regarding the millwork.
A rough estimate of $2,000 extra has been made by the architect.
The administrator estimated that $23,500 is the available balance
in the building fund.
Councilman Pickar stated that he favors leaving the existing floor
for the new police garage.
Mayor Johnson asked the cost of the sprinkler system.
The administrator stated it would be around $4,000 - $5,000
depending on the new bids.
Mayor Johnson asked how much money is left in the building fund
and how much of the architect's fee is being held by the city.
Councilman Baumgartner stated he favors determining the balance
available considering the amount held on the architect's fee
and getting firm prices on the conference room alternates. The
cost of revising the conference room could be used to buy new
furniture instead.
MSP (Johnson - Baumgartner) To authorize the administrator to sign
a change order to leave the existing floor in the new police garage
(room no. 119). 5 Ayes
