MEMO DATE : November 21, 1997 TO Honorable Mayor and Council FROM : Jim March RE Senior Housing Update At the last meeting, there were some questions in regards to curb and gutter and the sprinkler system at Chauncey Barett Gardens. As you may recall, the curb and gutter was bid as a project alternate at a price of $16,000. To include the curb and gutter was an expense the City would incur to have the project meet the cash flow projections so that the bonds could be issued. The option that was proposed at that time and supported by the majority of the Council was adding curb and gutter to the area of the driveway and parking lot as depicted in the attached illustration. The cost for this option was $6800, which I proposed to be paid from the Community Development Block Grant funds. As you may recall, we had reallocated some of our unused CDBG funds totalling $15,000 to be used towards the senior housing project. The sprinkler system was determined to be an additional $19,800 to sprinkler the attic as required by the Fire Marshall. As attached in a memo from Tom Dillon (DDC) the net shortfall after deducting sod /seed labor and material from the project is currently $9500. Tim Yantos (Anoka County HRA) had proposed having the County Sentence to Service to do the sod /seed work on site. Additional cost savings in the development are being reviewed as a result of the revised grading plan. I have made it clear at numerous public meetings, that the City of Centerville will not be required to pay for the sprinkler shortfall. If anyone has any additional questions in regards to the Senior Housing project prior to the meeting, please contact me so that I can bring the information to the meeting. I had a report from Tom Dillon on Thursday that the project is proceeding on schedule.
