Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting Minutes <br />November 26, 1996 <br />• Page 3 <br />I 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 />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 />Mr. O'Brien explained a proposed Change Order to create a raised platform of 6" for the <br />12 <br />Council bench and seating. This would also require the raising of the electrical outlets. <br />13 <br />Graus had provided an estimated cost of $13,000.00 to $16,000.00. Mr. O'Brien <br />14 <br />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 <br />conversation with Graus and his own cost calculations, he believe the change would cost <br />18 <br />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 />10 platform one step. <br />
