~ location. The difficulty I anticipate is trying to find furniture or workstations .- which would fit in our current crarnjied quarters and be appropriate for a new facility. I The Council may wish to consider utilizing a one time expenditure from the gambling proceeds to pay for this item. I C. Carj)eting The carpet throughout the building is extremely worn out. Attempts to clean the I carpet have not been successful. I believe that by replacing the carpet it would also reduce some of the mold and insect problems. In the area of the entry way, I would recommend a new linoleum or a hard surface be installed rather than I carpet. , 2. Potential Future City Hall I As I mentioned, the key to undertaking the items listed above is the timing for a potential future City Hall. The most critical element of the timing for this facility appears to be I location. The Council had previously identified the preferred location on the south side of Sunfish I Lake on Highway 96. It appears that the City has reached consensus with the Vento Reutilization Committee on this area being made available for a Government Center. This being accomplished the question now is how and when could the property be made -- available for this use. Congressman Vento has indicated a desire to submit legislation yet this Fall for the I purpose of releasing land. I do not expect such a bill to be passed any earlier than mid 1996. An unanswered question is, even if such a Bill is passed, what date would the property be available. While I may be proved wrong, the earliest I would see the land I available is 1997. Should the date extend beyond 1997, the Council should consider discussing other available sites. I , Conclusion ~. Staff would recommend the Council consider moving forward with obtaining estimates I on improvements to the current facility. At the same time, Staff should continue to review the adequacy of the old plans and clarify some of the timing issues, Staff would expect to come before the Council at a regular Meeting to pursue formal I action on any proposed improvements to the current facility. .
