Regular City Council Meeting Monday, Deceinber 5, 2016 Page 40 at an existing building that was currently receiving i-ental revenue for space not needed by the city short-term, costs for the city serving as a landlord of that build- ing should be factored into the revenue stream, potentially as part of the transition and financial analysis calculations. While he found that option worth considera- tion, Mayor Roe stated his curiosity about future use of the existing maintenance facility to maximize its use and how that fits into the big picture; opining that ex- pert advice would be helpful for that component as we1L Mayor Roe noted other portions on the city campus (e.g. old sally port area) and expressed curiosity about re-use of those sites as well, noting that it had been brought up a number of times in the past, with arguments made for not using it; and asked for that discussion to be refreshed as well. Councilmember Willmus agreed with Mayor Roe, stating his interest in a more comprehensive review of the current city space and its potential re-use, modifica- tion or renovation; opining that should all be part of the discussion. Regarding additional properties adjacent to the existing city campus, Councilmember Willmus stated his interest in looking at those options as well. City Manager Trudgeon reported that city staff had been utilizing the services of an individual with this expertise, but noted the need for further discussion with someone authorized by the City Council for a more in-depth and comprehensive review. Mayor Roe noted the sale of the fire station on Fairview Avenue was also a source of revenue; and suggested this be part of the discussion as well, to have a better idea of what the city's return on that site inay be; and as appraisals are done, that site be included as well. City Manager Trudgeon duly noted that request. Councilmember Laliberte expressed her interest in and support of a logistic space planner as part of this process, opining it was an important step. Councilmember Laliberte also stated her interest in a tour of the maintenance facility; and whether or not it was possible to build up a level and if so, what use was more prudent to consider. Councilmember Laliberte stated her support of having these long- overdue discussions; and thanked staff for the options presented, while opining there may be others yet to be considered. 16.
