General concensus from staff is positive, with the open question of how long to plan to be there, Jeff's feedback is that the roof is good with minor repairs necessary, The floor for the public works/parks area would have to be strengthened, draining installed and air returns in place, He anticipates that at a minimum improvements would be approximately $300,000. A large parking . lot allows for more outside space for public works/parks, in addition to the providing space to the entrance area to City Hall, Additional office space would be needed, with some "friendliness" added to the front entrance and Council chamber area, which would not be expected to be a major cost item, The City water tower (south) is adjacent to this property, There may be some use of this land, although it appears limited, This zoning area is designated for retail in the future and thus would seem to be oriented toward future public accessibility, .I Current site - The repairs anticipated for the public works and city hall facilities were " -'/"{pproximately'$2Q(),OOOc These would be needed over a time period of more than 12-18 mos, The roofs repair may be needed at any time, they were expected two years ago. In addition, a Council location would be needed soon, It may be possible to add on to the current site for the purpose of a meeting room alone, however Jeff warned about the trickiness of an add on to this roof The other sites are too large/small, or are in a business area not as conducive to the public contact work of City Hall as is the 1212 Red Fox Road. The alternatives of the Pot O'Gold or grocery store sites would improve the sites if a City HallfPublic Works facility were on site, but would require some additional costs and incentives for movement. Staff submits this information for Council review and direction, Based on this review, 1212 Red Fox Road does seem to meet the immediate and near future needs at the best possible cost and terms. .
