River MEMORANDUM Item # 5.7. TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Pat Klaers, City Administrator DATE: November I 0, 2003 SUBJECT: Public Safety/City Hall Update The last City Council update on the public safety - city hall - utilities construction project was given at the October 13, 2003 meeting. Since that time, the monthly meeting with the Construction Manager (Kraus-Anderson), the Architect (Tushie Montgomery), and city staff was held on October 28, 2003. The city received good news regarding the status of the public safety building at the October 28, 2003 meeting. The elliptical wall repair work has been successfully completed. Also, progress continues to be made with the gun range and we can expect that shooting activities will begin around the first of the year; the impound lot is under construction and should be completed by the end of November; and finally, the EOC cabinets are on site and are being installed. Attached for your information are two memos from Chief of Police Beahen regarding activities at the public safety facility. It goes without saying that we are very pleased to have received a safety grant to help with the expenses associated with the gun range. Of all the items remaining on the punch list, the ceiling lights seem to be the biggest nuisance issue. Gary Lore, in charge of building maintenance for the city, is working with Kraus-Anderson to get this problem corrected. The utilities building punch list is being worked on and progress continues to be made. Gary Lore is also working with Kraus-Anderson on problems with lights in the utilities building. Both buildings have the same issue where the lights are burning out much too quickly. Other issues with the utility building that are being worked on include the heat distribution throughout the building and the masonry work near some of the windows where we experienced small water leaks. The remodeling of the old city hall and police station is moving forward without any major problems. We are still waiting for the official change order of approximately $31,000 for the HVAC system. In this regard, we needed to add a number of the smaller individual heating/cooling units that are spaced throughout the building and also some ductwork. Another unplanned issue that needs to be addressed during this remodeling project is the removal of some mold that was found in S:~CouncilkPat~ Updates~PublicSafety.doc
