<br /> . .. <br /> . Administrator Comments for the October 26, 1998 Council Meeting <br /> Page Three <br /> October 23, 1998 <br /> We've been accommodating absentee voting for residents at City Hall <br /> during normal working hours. In addition, City offices will be open <br /> October 31" and November 20d after hours for absentee voting. <br /> 2. City Hallllpdate <br /> a. Old City Hall <br /> Staff completed the demolition specifications for the Old City Hall <br /> site. The specifications have been sent to several agencies in order <br /> to solicit bids. Once bids are received, the City Council will need <br /> to select the contractor to complete the work. I will be in contact <br /> with the Lake Johanna Volunteer Fire Department about their use <br /> of the building for training prior to the demolition. <br /> b. Temporary City Hall <br /> The North Suburban Cable Commission finally completed training <br /> with City staff on the use of our new computerized playback <br /> . system. Staff will most likely put in some overtime to learn the <br /> system without any interruptions. The Cable Commission staff has <br /> also been working on the audio system in the Council Chambers. <br /> They had indicated it would be done by now, but to-date, there is <br /> still work to complete. <br /> c. New City Hall <br /> . The City Hall Subcommittee toured several City Halls and <br /> the Metropolitan Airport Commission (MAC) Board Room <br /> for ideas on Council Chamber layout and the audio/visual <br /> design. The City conducted the tour with our architect and <br /> the A V consultant hired to complete interior design and A V <br /> services. Staff also met with the architect on several <br /> occasions to work on design fees, furniture design services <br /> and the City Hall budget. <br /> . Staff began meeting with attorneys from the National <br /> Guard to begin discussions on the lease agreement for City <br /> Hall. Attorney Filla and the National Guard are currently <br /> reviewing the various federal rcgulations that will affect <br /> any lease. <br /> . <br />
