Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,August 13,2012 <br /> Page 21 <br /> ject was built. Councilmember Pust opined that this was not a cost overrun, and <br /> was not fair to consider it as such, with the Project Team bringing the project in <br /> at budget. Councilmember Pust expressed her personal disappointment that <br /> there was not an on/off clause included in the contracts when originally drafted. <br /> At the request of Councilmember Johnson, Councilmember Pust opined that if <br /> the bond costs were attributed as she detailed, and with a twenty (20) year pay- <br /> back, a geothermal investment in the environment was well worth the cost. <br /> Councilmember McGehee concurred with Councilmember Pust's rationale; and <br /> after repeated Living Smarter discussions, could see no reason not to go ahead <br /> with proper certification and the geothermal component. <br /> Councilmember McGehee opined that the alleged delay costs were the fault of <br /> the City's management and the City Council majority. When the project was <br /> begun, Councilmember McGehee opined that the Fire Station portion could <br /> have proceeded without referendum in accordance with State Statute, and <br /> prompting no legal action, since it was allowed and citizens would have been <br /> very happy with that approach and no delays experienced. However, for some <br /> reason she was unable to understand, the Parks and Recreation portion and Fire <br /> Station were tied together, with the Parks portion addressed under a different <br /> statute and a Parks bond requiring a referendum, putting the City in its current <br /> situation, through bundling the bond issues under the City's Port Authority and <br /> attempting their passage without referendum and to the great consternation of <br /> many Roseville citizens, and resulting in many of these additional costs. How- <br /> ever, Councilmember McGehee opined that those additional costs shouldn't be- <br /> long to the Fire Station design, but the responsibility for those delays belonged <br /> to the City Council majority and management of the City. Councilmember <br /> McGehee opined, in today's bond market, the same bonds — bank qualified — <br /> would cost only an additional $50,000, but in hindsight, it was the choice made <br /> and possibly the wrong one. However, Councilmember McGehee reiterated <br /> that those additional costs did not have to do with the Fire Station project. <br /> Councilmember McGehee expressed her appreciation in receiving the efficiency <br /> figures in order to better understand the geothermal system to maximize effi- <br /> ciencies already made on behalf of Roseville citizens. <br /> Councilmember Willmus opined that the geothermal addition at $394,000 with <br /> a twenty (20) year payback made sense and should result in greater efficiencies <br /> at the OVAL and overall. <br /> Councilmember Pust, noting the $393,600 of the $8 million, represented an in- <br /> crease of 4.129% and seemed like a smart investment. <br /> Councilmember Johnson noted that a typical contingency is 10% and this was <br /> well within that. <br />
