These figures;] ilalso include the building security system, blinds, a yard sprinkler;; system, some wood paneling in selected offices and demolition of 2'31 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 1 1982 the old apartment building (which was not in their original esti- mate) . Mr. Evans stated that an estimated 60-75 set of documents , would be needed to distribute to interested contractors for bidding ,! He suggests that the City advertise for bids possibly on February Cittyl Illth or 12th, plans would be available to contractors on the 15th, j and bid opening could then be scheduled for 1: 30 p.m. March 11th. P�'° ect The architect' s recommendation could then be presented to the Council on the 15th of March at Council' s regular meeting. In going over the drawings and specifications, Mr. Allen stated that one alternate has been included in the bidding docu- ments and that deals with the roofing. They are bidding a single ply roofing membrane system and would like to bid an alternate of a light weight concrete roof under that. Upon concerns expressed by some Council members, Mr. Allen , stated that the contract will contain a ten year guarantee on the ! roof. When asked about energy conservation measures, Mr. Allen Ireplied that the domestic hot water solar system had been looked into. They determined that the pay back would be too far down the road as the building would not use that much domestic hot l water. Regarding the name of the building, Councilman Hequembourg _. Irequested that we proceed with putting the name on the building now rather than waiting and putting it on as a change order which would be more expensive. There was no objection. After further discussion, Councilman llequembourg moved that we proceed with advertising for bids. Motion was seconded by , Councilman Blume and carried. Mayor Hartsfield stated there have been discussions with the Park Board off and on for several years regarding a multi-purpose Multi- building for. their indoor recreation programs. The Park Board is attempting to put: money aside for the building and they do have a Purposes ' portion of the money saved for this purpose. Looking at 1583 or Park Bldg. I further in the future, it wan the Mayor' s recommendation that the ! City look at the quarter block behind the old city hall site for BoanL j that building, He stated there is no commitment an to contribution L by the City or what year we could afford to do it. Mayor has asked ii Beth Evans to look into parking problems for the site. At this I tisne it appears that parking would not be a problem. Councilman Ilequembourcj expressed concern for this location Vas this is high priced ground and the facility could be build on !! ground more reasonably priced at another location. Also, this location would totally restrict: any expansion of this facility. Councilman Blume suggested that the Park Board form a ' committee to look at places and come back to the Council as this is their project. The next item for discussion was the Gundelfinger property. Tom Benton stated his office has been enforcing the nuisance ordinances 1, ! Benton regard to this property to the best of their ability. It finger takes time to get something done as the owner lives out of town firver and has designated a local contractor to handle matters. He y ( stated that, in researching the ordinances, he can not find any- ! thing other than the general nuisances of weeds, pigeons, rodents, , and other health related problems. He stated that they had written to the owner in mid-January asking him to advise the City as to how we are to take care of the sidewalk. He further stated that other than operating through the City 's nuisance ordinances, which does not eliminate the unsightliness of the property, he knows of nothing we can force him to do. Upon suggestion by Councilman Halsey, Mr. Benton stated he would write to the owner and propose the concept of fill, grass , and a mini-park. Mr. Benton and Mr. Porterfield will also meet and discuss ways of getting a response from the owner of this property. 232 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING, FEBRUARY 1, 1982 A draft ordinance for snow routes was presented for Council' s review. Council was asked to read the document and contact Gary with any comments or changes. The next item of discussion was the Senior Citizens Pass. Mayor stated that it was his objective to get the passes on the same Senior calendar as all other fees. Citizen The May deadline for purchasing the passes was reached due Pass to the business licenses all coming due in December, therefore, the change to May would adjust the workload of the license in- spector. After discussion, Councilman Scheulen moved that in May the Senior Citizen Pass be $6. 00 for a period of six months, that November will be established as the annual review date and at that time the charge will be $12.00 for the ensuing year. Motion seconded by Councilman Halsey. Discussion was then held regarding the hour restrictions which is now 9: 00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Some Councilmen felt that with the rates being charged, the hourly restriction should be removed.
