<br /> COUNCIL MEETING
<br /> VITAL
<br /> The next step in the process of building Hugo's new City Hall will take place when STATISTICS
<br /> the final design is presented at the City Council meeting on Monday, February 5,
<br /> 2001 at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall. The public is encouraged to attend this meeting
<br /> to see the presentation by the engineering and architectural firm of Bonestroo, Location: Downtown Hugo,
<br /> Rosene,Anderlik and Associates. Bob Russek, chief architect for the firm, explains directly east of the current City
<br /> that the design will consist of three parts: Hall, across Fitzgerald Avenue
<br /> • Architectural component — floor plan of the building both internally and
<br /> on the site, as well as the finishes Square footage: 13,100 sq. feet
<br /> • Structural design—walls, rooms, and footings (11,600 on main floor; 1,500 in
<br /> • Mechanical and electrical design—plumbing, heating, and lighting basement)
<br /> The design calls for the City Hall to be 13,100 total square feet, with 11,600 feet Cost: $1,030,000 for construc-
<br /> on the main floor and a 1,500 square foot basement. The total cost of the build- tion; $1,530,000 total cost
<br /> ing is budgeted at $1,530,000, which includes:
<br /> • Construction -- $1,030,000 Cost per square foot:: $78.63
<br /> • Site work-- $50,000 for construction, $116.79 for

<br /> -- $100,000
<br /> • Furnishings -- $100,000 Expandable in three directions:
<br /> • Project contingency, a safety factor to guard against economic factors such east, west, and south
<br /> as rising prices, availability of labor, and energy costs -- $150,000
<br /> • Development costs, including architecture, engineering, testing (e.g. soil
<br /> borings, structural testing), and site surveys -- $100,000 Built for the Minnesota climate:
<br /> pitched roof, under-floor heat-
<br /> The cost per square foot is therefore estimated to be $78.63 for construction costs ing ducts, air conditioning,
<br /> and$116.79 for the total cost. City Council member Chuck Haas wants the pub- basement suitable as storm shel-
<br /> lic to be aware that the City will not be raising residents' property taxes to pay for ter. City Council Chamber and
<br /> the new City Hall. He states, "Given the economic growth of our community,we Community Meeting Room
<br /> anticipate that our property tax revenue will double in the next five years,just like Masonry construction
<br /> it's doubled in the last five years. In essence, the development that is causing the
<br /> need for a new City Hall is going to pay for it."
