Member Misra stated if there is a proposal for something like a big box store with <br />high traffic in that area that will impact the intersection quite a bit. <br />Mr. Culver stated that was correct and the reason there is talk about what options <br />are out there. If, and when a development goes in there, the City is likely to see <br />another traffic signal on County Road C at Hershel. Short of that, it is, what else <br />can the City physically do and logistically be done to County Road C to help <br />improve some of the capacity to support that development. <br />6. Maintenance Facility Study <br />Mr. Culver provided a brief review and update on the Maintenance Facility Study <br />listed in the staff report dated January 22, 2019. He indicated the consultants <br />recommend a building size of 100,000 square feet for current operations is <br />recommended. To meet the 50 -year space requirements then 120,000 square feet <br />is recommended. <br />Member Joyce asked if the City is maintaining any emergency vehicles. <br />Mr. Culver stated the City does. The police vehicles, in particular, are maintained <br />to extend the life of the vehicles. He stated there are over 200 vehicles in the fleet <br />and the City has two mechanics with three bays and it is constantly busy. He noted <br />the City does farm some work out. <br />Member Wozniak asked if there has been any consideration of asking Parks and <br />Recreation to find storage for their equipment elsewhere. <br />Mr. Culver stated the City Maintenance Facility will always house both and there <br />are some advantages to that. Equipment is shared and all of the employees are in <br />one location so break rooms and locker rooms, restrooms are only needed in one <br />facility. There are advantages to that. <br />Mr. Roger Hess, Jr., 1906 Wagner Place stated Fairview Fire Station is being torn <br />down so the Parks and Recreation Department will be needing more space for <br />equipment that was at the Fairview site. When the City Council bought the strip <br />mall it was purchased for expansion of the City facilities, not just for the license <br />center. He hoped this will not be like the Fire Station and Parks and Recreation, he <br />hoped all of the departments will be involved in the discussions because many of <br />the departments need more space. <br />Mr. Culver stated the City Staff and City Council recognizes that there needs to be <br />a more comprehensive master plan exercise to figure out what options the City can <br />have with the areas that are owned by the City. <br />Member Wozniak stated the other unknown is the Oval with all of the repairs that <br />it will need. <br />Page 6 of 7 <br />
