City Hall Construction <br /> <br />1. Costs <br />2. Technology, Security and Maintenance, and Furnishing Options and <br />Recommendations <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch explained the summary of cost sheets that outlined the original budgeted amount. He <br />stated he also indicates what has been paid to date. He noted that city staff prompted the front <br />reception area change. He added the change makes it fully handicap accessible. He noted there <br />were no previously planned drawers or cabinets for manuals, permits, etc. He added the roof <br />drains are an additional cost and the City would not pay for that. He stated it is either an <br />oversight by Architectural Alliance or the engineer. He noted it has not been agreed upon yet. <br />He added they have eliminated some outlets. He stated he assumes the Council would allow the <br />general public access to that space. He noted the first floor office space has been changed. He <br />added the City Administrator should not have to walk through the Administrative Secretary's <br />space. He stated they felt it would have better access offthe walkway. He noted the changes <br />total $22,249. <br /> <br />Mr. Lynch stated he has tried to identify the previously established budget. He noted no <br />previous budget was set for the security and generator. He noted they have purchased a new <br />telephone system. He added they would need to have the system reinstalled. He stated $5,000 is <br />more than safe to cover just the installation. He noted technology was a 200 I-budgeted item. He <br />added for security they would go to a card reader system. He stated they have an $18,000 bid . <br />from Richon to install a car reader system plus hardware. He added the most costly item would <br />be installation of a permanent generator. He stated it would be between $80,000 to $100,000 in <br />cost. He noted the Emergency Operations Plan could be handled. He added when they buy a <br />mobile generator they could achieve the same results, but not have a permanent generator. He <br />stated they would look for an opportunity to buy a third mobile generator. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst asked what action they were looking for tonight. Mr. Lynch responded they are <br />looking for approval of the changes, of the technology and security, and of the generator. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked for clarification. Mr. Lynch responded the audiovisual is a separate <br />contract and would be paid for by the cable franchise fees. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked about the telephone system. Mr. Lynch responded the State of <br />Minnesota is the off site provider. He stated they have eliminated the box system on site and the <br />associated capital cost. He noted they have had good comments about getting people directly <br />and get quickly to voicemail. <br />
