~,ty of River MEMORANDUM Item# 6. TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Mayor & City Council Pat Klaers, City Administrator May 21, 1997 Capital Improvement Program A City Council Capital Improvement Program (CIP) meeting has been scheduled for Monday, June 2, at 6 p.m., at City Hall. The first order of business at this CIP meeting will be a review of the City of Otsego Sanitary Sewer and Treatment Capacity Report. This document was distributed to the City Council on May 5, 1997. Please bring this report to the CIP meeting. Note that the report only considers a temporary situation and that if capacity in the sewer treatment plant is provided to Otsego on a permanent basis, then additional issues need to be taken into consideration. The second item of business we need to review at the CIP meeting is the city finances for the Ice Arena construction project as well as discussing the Capital Outlay part of the operating budget. The construction budget will not be final for a number of months, but everyone should know that the construction went 1½ -2 percent over budget. The reasons include a small beginning contingency budget and use of this budget for some "value added" elements to the project which in turn left fewer funds for true contingency expenditures. Some of these value added elements include the school requested changes in the parking lot ($13,500), an increased area for bituminous work in front of the arena ($8,000), the extra pumper for the ice machine ($6,000), an additional row of bleachers ($2,500), the rubber floor matting in the entrance ($9,200), and eliminating the step in the walking track ($4,000). An additional reduction in the contingency fund of over $11,000 was caused by new state code requirements which were approved between the time the project was designed and construction actually took 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
