ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES/NEW PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY 07-03-10
Sarah Plinsky, Assistant County Administrator, and Steve Clark, Clark Huesemann Architects, provided an overview new Public Works facility with a schematic drawing. The anticipated completion of the facility is 2014. Eileen Horn, Sustainability Coordinator, is on the LEED Committee working to make the facility as cost effective to operate as possible.
Plinsky stated as part of last week's bond sale, she anticipates the bond to pay for $9.5 million toward the facility, $1.3 million coming from returned gas tax funding, Public Works has set aside $600,000 in funds in 2012, with the remaining funds paid form CIP cash reserves left from 2012 for a total project cost of $13,900.00.
Gaughan asked staff for a cost comparison between the current facilities and the new facility in operation costs and energy savings.
Gaughan asked Browning to describe the future additions to the site as marked on the drawings. Browning stated he originally wanted a fuel station and auto wash, but cannot afford it at this time. Keeping the equipment clean and sheltered expands the life of the equipment. What is included in the plan instead is a rough wash which is not automatic. Gaughan said he'd like a narrative to what gaps the new facility fills that we currently have with our existing with our existing facilities.
Thellman said from a customer service aspect the public will have a "one-stop shop" by bringing the Zoning and Public Works Departments to one site.
Flory said he anticipates some revenue will be incurred when selling the real estate located off 23rd street (Public Works shop facility) and maybe some of the revenue can be used for the future items we cannot afford today.
There was discussion on the Sheriff needing additional storage space for larger evidence items. This plan d s not meet all his needs, but d s provide a room equivalent to what he is currently using.
Gaughan opened the item for public comment. No comment was received.
Thellman moved to formally accept the schematic design for the new Public Works facility. Motion was seconded by Gaughan and carried 3-0.
