34 <br />35 Chair Ficek indicated he attended the Rosefest Parade, and he thought it was <br />36 wonderful. He thanked the City staff and all of the volunteers. He thought it was <br />37 well attended and it seemed like everyone was having a good time. <br />38 <br />39 5. Civic Campus Master Plan Update <br />40 City Manager Patrick Trudgeon gave a presentation to the Commission on the Civic <br />41 Campus Master Plan. <br />42 <br />43 Vice Chair Hodder indicated that currently there are solar panels on the <br />44 maintenance facility and he wondered if they will be transferred to the new facility. <br />45 <br />46 Mr. Trudgeon explained that is the intent and should still be in good shape. <br />47 <br />48 Mr. Freihammer indicated the solar panels are designed to be modular so would be <br />49 taken out of time for the service and coordination of phases. The new facility would <br />50 theoretically have more space to expand the solar in the future. <br />51 <br />52 Chair Ficek explained thinking about sustainability as a whole, is the City looking <br />53 at other options or touring other facilities that are being built around the metro. He <br />54 asked how the City is viewing this. <br />55 <br />56 Mr. Trudgeon explained the City wants to embrace as much sustainability as <br />57 possible.

She <br />64 knew that there was a gas station in that area, and she wondered how that would <br />65 factor into these plans. She felt there would be a lot of costs involved. <br />66 <br />67 Mr. Trudgeon explained the process the City made when purchasing the land. He <br />68 was not sure if the City would be able to do a direct swap, but the City will look at <br />69 this in more depth. <br />70 <br />71 Member Mueller explained her concern was once the City gets in there, what <br />72 additional costs would there be for cleanup or addressing possible contamination? <br />73 <br />74 Mr. Trudgeon agreed, and the staff feel they have a fair understanding of what is <br />75 there, they do not know, and he thought the City needs to be prepared for that. <br />76 Beyond that, the City is not aware of any other environmental concerns. <br />77 <br />78 Chair Ficek indicated with the maintenance facility moving to a new spot, he knew <br />79 the City staff has had some conversations with residents in that area and he asked <br />Page 2 of 7 <br />Page 4 of 97 <br />
