<br />. <br /> <br />A construction manager should help us determine the design and scope of the <br />project and how a project can proceed with bid alternates and in phases. The <br />construction manager should also help us understand the financial <br />requirement to upgrade the old ice facility to meet ADA laws if this is to <br />become a City facility. Once the scope of the project is further defined and <br />presented to the City Council, we will then be looking for the City Council to <br />authorize the hiring of an architect to move ahead with the project. It is not <br />anticipated that any City revenue bonds will be issued until 1995. <br /> <br />Once the Council approves the financial framework and authorizes the hiring <br />of a construction manager, the City Attorney can begin work with <br />representatives of Youth Hockey and the legal counsel for the School District <br />in order to begin working on the land transactions. This work can be going <br />on simultaneously with the evaluation of the project by the Task Force and <br />construction manager. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Once again, it is recommended that the City Council formally appoint the <br />Task Force that has been working on this project. This is necessary as it is <br />assumed that this Task Force will continue to work on this project as the <br />Advisory Group for the City Council. It is also recommended that the City <br />Council approve the financial framework of $230,000 annually being <br />available for debt service with Youth Hockey fundraising monies and any <br />City contribution being put into the emergency repair and second phase <br />reserve. It is also recommended that the City Council authorize the <br />recruitment of a construction manager to be presented to the Council in <br />August for the actual hiring. <br /> <br />. <br />
