Kathy Warman of Warman Design Group Architects conducted building assessments on the annex and old city hall. The assessment was the city annex is the most viable building of the two, the old city hall is more of a "renovation challenge" and the use would dictate renovation. First, the internal use needs to be detemuned for the buildings. Ms. Warman recommends that the next step to be a facilities study. If the city does not have an internal use for the building, compatible users should be identified and building leased. The staff recommendation is to develop a facilities steering committee to look at the entire civic campus to detemvne the city's current and future space needs. Mayor Rose recommends the city go out for request for proposals, appoint a group and set down and talk about this with the steering committee to move this project forward. David suggests having some members of the board of aldermen participate. Minn. 7/15/08 Alderman Super said the Parkhill School District used certain companies that did tenant finishes and by doing that type of procedure, it saved them 40% of what the azchitects estimate were for design. The savings for the tenant finish and remodel was because they went with someone that understood what they wanted and they had people they worked with azchitecturally instead of having an architect come in and going out for bids to cio the design so we need to look at someone that has that component. Once we go out for rfq's, we can choose to do this procedure. David said we can contact the school district and fmd out what kind of rfq's they sent out and report back to the boazd. David said Public Safety did a good job last Thursday night at the awards event for tike Officer's and feels the officer's appreciated it. Argosy was on a large golf tournament and they are supporting a benefit for `Miles of Smiles' and they asked for our support of $1,000 to sponsor the team on August 25`s.
