Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for February 1, 2021 Page 6 of 9 Petryk asked about the shedding of snow and ice on the sloped roof and the roof warranty. Lysne explained there were oversized roof drains that connect to the stormwater system and secondary overflow drain outlets that would run if the primary drain was plugged. He said they typically recommend a 20-year roof at a minimum. Klein asked about outside electrical outlets, maintenance of exterior wood materials, and quality of windows. Lysne showed where the outlets were located stating they would be secured with locks. There would be water service to the outside of the building that the public would not have access to turn on. Lysne explained the exterior would be prefinished materials made for the climate that would need to be on a ten-year maintenance plan. He stated double paned windows were in the budget, but they could look at the cost of triple panes. Petryk asked about heating and cooling costs and efficiencies. Lysne replied that it was designed to have modern heating and air, but he had not worked up any utility costs related to the building. Petryk questioned how this particular design was selected because she was envisioning a much more traditional design with a rural character. Lysne replied that three design ideas went to the steering committee, and this was a modified design with their guidance. Klein said it would be prudent to see how triple pane windows could help heating and cooling costs. Miron asked about the capacity on the rooms, and Denaway replied it would be nearly double the size of Hugo's current community rooms. Petryk asked if they had the opportunity to look at the other designs saying she was surprised by the modern look of the building. Weidt replied that this was the design approved by the steering committee. Klein said he liked that it was a little of old with new and thought the steering committee did a nice job. Lysne reviewed the building cost that included the main pavilion, exterior covered space, and picnic shelter. The cost was $2,639,175 plus a 7.5% contingency to deal with supply change interruptions for a total cost of $2,837,113. These numbers did not include furniture, AV, security, and low voltage cabling and devices. He emphasized that commercial construction had been hit hard by COVID, and since the cost estimate was done at the end of 2020, there was no construction escalation costs included for 2021. If the project went out to 2022, he anticipated a construction escalation cost of 8% ($211,000). Candace Amberg with WSB and Associates presented an updated site plan showing the parking lot design, trails that were a mixture of bituminous outlining the park and concrete within the park, and how those trails connected to existing trails. Also shown on the plan were playground, plaza, and seating areas. In the northwest corner of the park, there was an area for an optional parking lot with an opportunity to create a focal point. A spot designated for courts and a skate park was shown on the northeast corner, and Amberg talked about possible uses for the large open space in the center. She presented options for benches, retaining walls, planting areas, etc.
