Consider Authorizing Staff to Solicit Bids to remodel the City Hall Willow- Conference Room in order to Relocate the Roseville Historical Society City Manager Trudgeon summarized the request as detailed in the RCA of this date. He recalled that at the June 19, 2017 City Council meeting, the City Council directed staff to work with the Roseville Historical Society to find it a permanent home within City Hall. As a result of that direction, in the past year, he has worked with the Roseville Historical Society in determining that the current Wil- low Room will be repurposed for the Roseville Historical Society. He pointed out the remodeling of the Willow Room will create a small conference room with seating for around 36 people that will be available for use by staff and others. City Manager Trudgeon explained that the initial estimate for the proposal is $69,253.84. Based upon the agreement, Roseville Historical Society will contrib- ute $49,648.25 29 and the City of Roseville will contribute $19,605.59. For the City's share of the costs, he suggested taking that out of the General Fund Re- serves. Furniture replacement for the Willow Room is already programmed in the CIP. He noted that since January of this year, the Willow Room has not been made available for public use as users have been relocated to different rooms on the City campus or at the Skating Center. City Manager Trudgeon noted that Councilmember McGehee emailed him a re- quest to table this item, as the full Council is not present and alternatives should be considered. From his viewpoint, this is one step in the process. The next step is for staff to solicit quotes, after which the proposal will be brought back to the Council again. He thought it was worthwhile to bring forward prior to getting the quotes. He knows the Historical Society has been very patient, as it has taken a lot longer than they wanted.
