Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 13, 2017 Page 4 interviews, Mr. Trudgeon noted this created some urgency in addition to lease ne- gotiations with the owner of the current License Center facility. Public Works Director Marc Culver added that the proposal broke down pricing per task if the City Council felt strongly not to go beyond the License Center as- pect. Mr. Culver noted that the cost was a "not to exceed" cost and could be ad- justed accordingly at the City Council's direction. Mr. Culver clarified that stor- age of equipment included both that of the Public Works Department as well as the Parks &Recreation Department. Councilmember Willmus stated his appreciation for and pp echoed those concerns raised by Councilmember Etten; and thanked staff for providing a more detailed response tonight. Councilmember Willmus stated that his primary concern was with the maintenance facility as he felt that a review of the Maintenance Facility was needed and needing to fall into place more so than the License Center por- tion. Councilmember Willmus stated that his concern was with storage of equip- ment and supplies rather than what was being attempted at the License Center. After his initial review of this request, Councilmember Willmus advised that he would have probably gone in a different direction. However, with the comments made by City Manager Trudgeon and Public Works Director Culver, Coun- cilmember Willmus stated that he was now inclined to support the request. At the request of Councilmember Etten, Public Works Director Culver confirmed that approximately 1/3 of the funding for the study would be for the License Cen- ter with the remaining 2/3 related to space and storage needs. At the further re- quest of Councilmember Etten, Mr. Culver confirmed that the consulting firm could be asked to focus on city concerns on any or all of the items, advising that staff had initially asked firms to provide a range (up to four) and any reduction in potential layouts would subsequently reduce the cost of the analysis. Mayor Roe noted that the requested motion was for a"not to exceed" amount. City Manager Trudgeon suggested that the City Council provide clear direction in their motion. Etten moved, McGehee seconded, approval of a Professional Services Agreement (Attachment A) with Kodet Architectural group for a Facility Space Needs Anal- ysis for the License Center and Maintenance Facility, as outlined in the staff re- port as presented focusing on a single initial option for the License Center; at a cost not to exceed $32,600. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, McGehee and Roe. Nays: None.
