City Council Minutes <br /> August 2, 2016 <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Maintenance Department Facility Addition Feasibility Study. Ms. Malecha <br /> noted that Staff would like the Council to provide clear direction and a <br /> consensus as to what key points should be included in the final version of <br /> the Study. <br /> Mayor Sjoblad noted that location is a prime consideration and a new <br /> public works facility by the City's Business Park would be a great location <br /> as it has access to City water and sewer services and is located next to a <br /> ten ton road. <br /> Council Member Pederson stated that City Hall currently has 2,000 to <br /> 3,000 square feet of unused space and ideas for existing vacant space <br /> should be considered. He further noted that funding grants for a public <br /> works facility or a public safety facility should be analyzed. <br /> Council Member Loukota noted that he is in favor of starting over with a <br /> new public works building and mechanical upgrades at City Hatt will also <br /> be needed. <br /> Council discussion ensued as to the cost to construct a steel building, the <br /> useful life of a steel building, contracting of certain public works services, <br /> and the short-term leasing of buildings in the area. <br /> Mike Loven stated the Public Works Department currently has 5,500 <br /> square feet of space in three building and the space is very tight for <br /> current vehicles and equipment. Mr. Loven further noted that the interior <br /> of a steel building option would need to withstand the road salt from City <br /> vehicles. <br /> The consensus of the Council agreed to direct staff to obtain a quote for a <br /> wood frame, steel building structure consisting of 9,000 square feet and to <br /> identify areas of service that may be considered for the Public Works <br /> Department to contract out. <br /> 10.
