Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting Minutes <br /> November 26, 1996 <br /> • Page 3 - <br /> 1 Motion by Marks, second by Wagner to add a manhole in the storm line northeast of the <br /> 2 City Hall/Community Center in the amount of$1,885.00. <br /> 3 Motion carried unanimously. <br /> 4 Mr. O'Brien explained a proposed Change Order to change the concrete floor sealer from <br /> 5 a-water based sealer to a solvent based sealer in the amount of$300.00. This will make <br /> 6 resealing of the floor easier as the solvent based sealant does not require stripping and the <br /> 7 water based sealant does. <br /> 8 Motion by Marks, second by Faust to approve the Change Order to change from water <br /> 9 based concrete floor sealer to solvent based floor sealer in the amount of$300.00. <br /> 10 Motion carried unanimously. <br /> 11 Mr. O'Brien explained a proposed Change Order to create a raised platform of 6" for the <br /> 12 Council bench and seating. This would also require the raising of the electrical outlets. <br /> 13 Graus had provided an estimated cost of$13,000.00 to $16,000.00. Mr. O'Brien <br /> 14 explained that after he discussed the item with Graus Construction, Graus reduced the <br /> price and admitted they had just thrown together the cost figure. Mr. O'Brien stated he <br /> was disgusted with the cost response he has received from Graus. He stated based'on <br /> 17 conversation with Graus and his own cost calculations, he believe the change would cost <br /> 18 approximately $6,700.00. <br /> 19 Mayor Ranallo asked if all the ramps were necessary. Mr. O'Brien stated they are. <br /> 20 Marks stated he was unsure if it was necessary for the platform to be raised. He felt a <br /> 21 raised platform gave a more controlling image rather than a-sense of participation. He <br /> 22 stated he would prefer the platform not be raised. <br /> 23 Wagner stated-he would prefer the platform not be raised as he did not feel it was <br /> 24 important and did not want to pay-for it. <br /> 25 Mayor Ranallo stated he would prefer the platform be raised. He stated he had not <br /> 26 received any complaints of intimidation due to a raised dias. <br /> 27 Marks stated he would like to provide an intimate atmosphere in the new Council <br /> 28 Chambers. <br /> 29 Mayor Ranallo stated he would strongly recommend the money be spent to raise the <br /> platform one step. <br />
