Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 12, 2014 Page 17 • Metal Roofs versus Laminated Shingles: Mr. Schroeder advised that after re- view of life-cycle costs, it was determined that metal roofs didn't make sense and laminated asphalt shingles were therefore specified for the proposal. • Clerestory Windows: After review, Mr. Schroeder advised that it was deter- mined that they didn't add more usable light for the structure and made changes to roof structures more complicated; and since the primary goal was to get more significant natural light into public gathering spaces and maintain views out into the parks, the proposals were addressed accordingly. • Exploration of Sustainable Systems: While their review didn't go into sys- tems like geothermal, Mr. Schroeder advised that research was done on more standard systems, and given the typical occupancy and use of these buildings, it was determined that concentration would be given to less costly sustainabil- ity measures (e.g. low VOC, low flow fixtures, etc.) from a more common sense and realistic approach in how the buildings would actually operate ver- sus the more expensive HVAC systems and energy efficiencies in how the buildings were used versus the physical plants being installed. Mr. Schroeder advised that as many of those realistic approaches as possible were incorpo- rated into the plans as applicable, with alternate proposals for many of the others. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. Schroeder advised that the de- signs still provided for large vaulted ceilings in the main gathering spaces, with fans installed to circulate air. As plans were reviewed, Mr. Schroeder advised that the primary goal of the Parks & Recreation Commission continued to be the crea- tion of a signature gathering space and how those spaces could be created and be- come a higher volume space to let light in and views out, as well as the use of the buildings; and while a different kind of heating and cooling system, it was the best option available to re-circulate air. At the request of Councilmember McGe- hee, Mr. Schreoder advised that some of the windows would be functional in some areas of the buildings, but not the higher windows; and when asked if there would be screens on the windows, Mr. Schroeder advised that he would need to verify that. Mr. Brokke assured Councilmembers that staff continued to work with the City's Information Technology (IT) Department for building security and access sys- tems, and would put together a program in the near future. At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Brokke confirmed that at a minimum the main doors would be accessed remotely as part of the initial package. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. Brokke confirmed that the total expenditure to-date and at this time if approved was $12,608,539; with additional packages yet to be bid as part of the $19 million bond issue including the skating center, additional sidewalks and trails, land acquisition, and SW Roseville park is- sues still on that list.
