ANNOUNCEMENT II.BUSINESS AGENDA Chair Hougardy announced that the Workforce Telestaff System agreement would be postponed to a future date, and that Shiels Obletz Johnsen (SOJ) would provide a status update on the current and purchased sites for Station 54. A. Agreement: Workforce Telestaff System for Police Department Postponed. B. Fire Station 52 Pre-Design Options and Estimate Staff is seeking Council direction on a site plan option to take into the Schematic Design phase for Station 52. The pre-design estimate has been completed and the project team has determined that the project would only be within the currently approved budget if the interior finishes of the administrative offices and training room/backup EOC space will be delayed and bid as an alternate. Since this building is close to the 6300 building, vacancies in the latter can be used as interim administrative space. In addition, the Fire Department requested the evaluation of an alternate site plan including the ability to drive through the apparatus bays rather than the current design of back-in only. It has been determined that a drive through site plan would result in an additional cost estimated to be $650,000 above the current budget. Choosing either drive-through or back-in is a time sensitive decision for the Council as the design team cannot proceed until the choice is made. The additional project funding could come from additional debt financing, use of future apparatus and equipment funds, decreasing other project costs or repurposing general funds. Councilmembers discussed the pros and cons of the options. Councilmember Hougardy asked if there would be a list of other design alternates requested by the Fire Department. Alternates will be developed during the Schematic Design and Design Development phases. Councilmember Robertson asked how firefighters would prioritize the drive-through option on Station 54 with other preferred alternates, including at Fire Station 51, and Chief Wittwer stated this would be top priority. Councilmembers Hougardy and McLeod expressed support for proceeding with the drive- through design as this is a permanent decision on a 50-year building, and funding can be 0O<FC= 3;@?NS#IGGCNN?? -CHON?MȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚȚ3?JN?G<?L Ƕț ǴǲǳǺ worked out.

Councilmember Robertson requested a table comparing cost estimates for Station 54 -cluding design and engineering retrofit costs and the soft costs absorbed by the other two stations. The Star Nursery site purchased for the proposed new Station 54 has a derelict house on it that should be demolished as soon as possible due to its liability to the City.

The Public Safety Plan fund is used to account for construction costs associated with the new Justice Center and fire stations, including voter-approved debt, LTGO debt and dedicated revenue sources.
