Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 26, 2016 Page 16 Mayor Roe cautioned compliance with contracting laws, and treatment of like en- tities similarly. City Attorney Gaughan concurred with Mayor Roe. Mr. Brokke noted that, through the Parks Renewal Program process, and selected architect, while the Team wasn’t seeking to duplicate the architecture of those park buildings, the desire was that a clubhouse complement their design in order that it be recognized as a Roseville building. Due to that extensive process, Mr. Brokke anticipated it may be possible that the architectural firm used for those buildings may be interested in submitting a specific club house proposal. Mayor Roe suggested that these discussions may more applicable as part of the design proposal and costs associated come into play as the City Council discusses how to pay for a new clubhouse; such as in-kind services or community labor for certain aspects, rather than as part of the initial design process. Councilmember McGehee stated she had brought that idea to the attention of Councilmember Laliberte earlier. Councilmember McGehee stated she was inter- ested not only with in-kind in that sense, but also involving high schools where they offered associate degrees in the field or St. Paul College who may be inter- ested in partnering as a student activity to help with the build. Councilmember McGehee opined that would also serve as a nice link to the community and educa- tion. Given the current situation, Councilmember McGehee stated she had a problem with the motion from her understanding, noting that while many options had been presented, it had yet to be determined the building size or whether it was to be a multi-faceted building. Councilmember McGehee opined that discussion needed to occur before moving down this particular route and preceding seeking a design. Mayor Roe clarified that the point of the design was to provide those options and range of costs. Mayor Roe noted the Advisory Team reached the point where they could go no further in their analysis without having those costs identified. Mayor Roe further clarified that this was not action authorizing final plans, but simply seeking conceptual designs. Mr. Brokke concurred, noting the intent of the Team was to seek initial concept designs as the next and first step. Councilmember Laliberte agreed with Mayor Roe and Mr. Brokke, noting the considerable time spent by the Team; and now the next step needed for design services to say if the building was best relocated on the golf course site to facili- tate other amenities; or how the whole site should be configured on this limit piece of land for best functionality.
