As part of the original request, it was estimated that additional state <br />58 bonding money would be needed to make all of the necessary repairs and replacements to the <br />59 facility. The following items still need funding as part of the overall OVAL capital improvement <br />60 project: <br />61 <br />62 Renovate Banquet Facility and Rooftops $ 217,000 <br />63 Lobby/Mechanical Room and Banquet CenterRoof Replacement$ 260,000 <br />64 Upper Level Bathroom Remodel $ 101,000 <br />65 <br />66 With a 20%contingency factored in for these improvements, the total amount requested would <br />67 $693,600. <br />68 <br />69 These improvements are contained in the City’s CIP budget in the General Facilities Replacement <br />70 Fund. Below is a table showing the status of the fund (which includes the receipt of the $3.9 million <br />71 of state bonding money) if Roseville does not receive additional funding for the remaining <br />72 improvements to the OVAL. Given the current funding balance and projected needs, this fund will <br />73 be negative in 2023 but and remain near zero fund balance for the next couple of years. <br />Page 2 of 6 <br /> <br />
