<br /> MINUTES. WORKSESSION CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> DECEMBER 21, 1992 <br /> PAGF,. THREE <br />. <br /> Discussion followed regarding City Hall and Public Works Facilities options. Options <br /> discussed included location site, financing alternatives, and content and design of needs. <br /> Mayor Sather indicated he would be reluctant to cash out the PIR Fund through internal <br /> payback system in order to provide further financial strength for the City. Malone <br /> indicated if PIR Funds are not used, an outside agency may be willing to lease back to <br /> the City. <br /> City Accountant Post indicated to the Council that on a lease option as a funding <br /> mechanism, the cost to the City residents is lower than through a general obligation cost. <br /> Further discussion was held regarding the site and contents of the program. The <br /> December 21 memorandum from the Architect was reviewed with the Council and the <br /> Citizen's Committee agreeing that the program that had been designed for the City Hall <br /> and Public Works Facility should continue. Hicks requested further information <br /> regarding whether the City owns the building if a lease is pursued and the TCAAP site <br /> whether there is a possibility of a lease or with a purchase to be done before the <br /> referendum is pursued as an option. Mayor Sather indicated that any lease on the <br /> TCAAP property would be a lease purchase program and that TCAAP has indicated <br /> they will be agreeing with the concept. The Mayor anticipates that this spring (1993), we <br /> will be more certain of the location and that discussions are proceeding in a positive <br />. fashion at this time. <br /> The Architect, Jeff Ortel, indicated there are different options for cutting back on the <br /> programming space. It was also included in several questions from the community <br /> whether a metal building would be sufficient for the Public Works Building rather than <br /> precast concrete as is currently anticipated. He indicated that he has proceeded with a <br /> metal building. However, there have been negative issues of dents in the wall, being <br /> able to hang products and equipment on the wall in a metal building versus a precast <br /> concrete building which is more stable building used for those purposes. <br /> The Citizen's Committee indicated they have received calls that there is too much cost in , <br /> the building per square footage. He indicated that it was not communicated clearly that <br /> included in that were site preparation road costs and utilities. Ray McGraw indicated he <br /> would prefer to see a second referendum. He believes, generally, in the country there is <br /> a more positive outlook. He also indicated that the uncertainty of a location, he has <br /> been told, has been a negative factor in the vote of individuals. He stated that several <br /> citizens advised him further work be done with Federal officials and other citizens who <br /> would know the Federal system. <br /> Mayor Sather indicated that several contacts have been made to rekindle relationships <br /> with Federal authorities and other local governmental agencies. He indicated that <br /> Commissioner of DNR, Rod Sando, has been contacted and has a more clear <br />. understanding of the intent of the northern portion of the TCAAP property from <br /> Hamline and Lexington Avenue - it is not intended by the City to be used for their own <br /> purposes. However, to hold it open for other issues not related to development of the <br /> land for the City's facilities. <br />
