Mayor Sjoblad noted that location is a prime consideration and a new public <br /> works facility by the City's Business Park would be a great location as it has <br /> access to City water and sewer services and is located next to a ten ton <br /> 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 Hall 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 square <br /> feet of space in three building and the space is very tight for current vehicles <br /> and equipment. Mr. Loven further noted that the interior of a steel building <br /> option would need to withstand the road salt from City 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 /> D.
