City Council Regular Meeting Minutes • June 13, 2000 Page 7 1 Mornson said the idea is to give the City Council an idea of what renovations would be needed 2 over a certain period of time. There are several buildings that are owned by the City that appear 3 to require renovations, and the City is attempting to draw together a long-term plan of the 4 renovations that need to be accomplished. 5 Mornson reviewed for the Council the details of the study; in essence, some of the older 6 buildings were built before many of the Codes were put into place, and the City is simply trying 7 to accomplish a study to determine long-term goals. 8 Sparks mentioned that when the-City first learned about the public works structure, for example, 9 there was a decision about how much space was actually needed. She stated it would be useful to 10 have estimates, but is hoping for more than a printout of how much space is needed if a new 11 building is determined to be needed after the study has been completed. 12 Motion by Horst to approve Resolution 00-041, a Resolution approving Short Elliott 13 Hendrickson, Inc. to Produce a Physical Needs Assessment/Cost Estimate for all City Facilities. 14 Motion carried unanimously.
