Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 20, 2017 Page 30 that it was reasonable to say that this would not come under revenue bond funding as an option, leaving levy support that he didn't want to be flippant about an in- crease in the tax levy to support this. However, as with consideration of other city property acquisition during tonight's closed session, Mayor Roe noted the need to look at the full picture as well as this piece. Specific to the Historical Society and pod displayed, Councilmember McGehee suggested removal, making a larger sized community room instead. Specific to the maintenance facility, Councilmember Willmus suggested removal of it at this time and leave it largely as is with the exception of some cosmetic im- provements, but not consider construction of a new maintenance facility, Mayor Roe noted the need for further review of the condition of the maintenance facility before making that decision. Before moving forward, Councilmember Willmus stated the importance for him in having real numbers to work with sooner rather than later to inform a factual discussion versus projections. Mayor Roe noted that the staff recommendation was to go out for bids, but ques- tioned if that was the same path suggested by Councilmember Willmus. Specific to the maintenance building, Councilmember Laliberte pointed out that any improvements to the building may trigger the need to meet building code reg- ulations that may malce replacement more prudent than renovation. Mr. Brokke concurred with Councilmember Laliberte, advising that the mainte- nance facility did not meet today's standards, since it was simply a garage and had no potable water or restroom facilities; things for the City Council to consider in its decision -snaking. Mr. Brokke advised that maintenance staff had replaced roof shingles several years ago. Further discussion included cart storage and proposed location; and the quality and efficiency of the club house — current or new. In summary, Mayor Roe noted a consensus, while not necessarily unanimous, was moving toward a larger facility (100-120 capacity) excluding housing the Histori- cal Society. Mr. Brokke reviewed the next steps as previously noted, seeking City Council di- rection and its additional cost. Mr. Brokke noted that this would involve using the existing architect to quote for those services; with City Manager Trudgeon noting it would come back to the City Council for formal approval.
