1. Call to Order
Mayor Lloyd Hilgart called the special meeting to order at 5 p.m.
2. Public Works Facility Discussion
Rachel Leonard gave an overview of the need for a new Public Works facility and how it
will serve the City currently and long term. The following items are recommended to be
included in the project: Water and Sewer operations; Street operations; shop
operations; Facility Maintenance operations; Engineering operations; Parks, Art &
Recreation Department seasonal storage; Election location and storage; and Citywide IT
server.
Ms. Leonard noted that staff is supportive of moving forward even as costs have
increased. The facility originally was thought to cost $19 million but is proposed to be
closer to $27-29 million.
It was noted that at the regular City Council meeting the Council would be asked to
authorize and RFP for professional services related to construction of a new public
works facility. Hiring an architect for would be a solid step in moving forward with the
project.
There was some discussion among City Council, who expressed support with moving
forward with a new facility even as costs have increased.
