. . . City Council Worksession Meeting February 13, 1991 Page 2 lack stated that physically there would be enough land to accommodate the community center. There was then a question regarding the Jenne si te and whether or not that would be adequate for City Hall. lack indicated that in itself it is rather small, but renovation of the entire block would be adequate. The City Administrator questioned whether the Community Center Task Force should remain active or whether the Council should meet with them to conclude their duties. Mayor Tralle indicated that it may be several years before additional work is done on a community center, therefore, the Task Force will probably not remain active. It was agreed to meet with the Community Center Task Force on March 4, at 6:30 p.m. at the Library prior to the regular City Council meeting. Additional discussion was held on each of the sites including estimated costs for acquiring each site. There was concern that other sites in addition to the three already being considered be explored. The Council discussed whether it is necessary to keep the Police Department and City Hall in one facility or whether they could be located at two different sites. lack suggested that a space analysis be done first. This would include evaluating how many square feet each of the departments would anticipate needing in the next ten years. At that point, the economies of having one building versus two could be considered and ultimately the creamery site could be evaluated using that data. Following the space analysis, Zack suggested that the City tour and review facilities in other communi ties. The next step would be to estimate costs of construction and acquisition. At that point, Zack would be ready to present alternatives to the City Council. The Council questioned whether this could be done in 45 days. Zack indicated that he would proceed and get information back to the Council as soon as possible. A special work session of the City Council was scheduled for March 20, at City Hall, to review the alternatives. COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ MOVED TO ADJOURN THE 2/13/91 WORK SESSION MEETING.
