July 18, 2006 <br />City of Elk River, City Council <br />Madam Mayor, Council members <br />Matter at hand• <br />• LeFebvre Companies Inc. and LeFebvre Properties LLP respectfully <br />present the following matters for your consideration: <br />Need: <br />A temporary office trailer parked adjacent and parallel to the western wall <br />of our existing office building on 171St Ave. NW. This trailer will be 12 <br />ft by 44 ft. and fit perfectly in the lawn area between the existing building <br />and the curb, as seen in the architect's sketch. This trailer is new, and will <br />be fitted with skirting around the bottom. A few small shrubs will be <br />planted on the sides facing the streets. This office trailer contains one <br />fully private office, plus space for two to three work space cubes. <br />Duration• <br />• We are seeking a 36 month term of this temporary permit to give adequate <br />time to fully evaluate our future needs for staffing and permanent space. <br />Summary of motivating factors: <br />• A substantial increase in gross sales <br />• A dramatic increase in the number of outlying, in state and out of state <br />satellite locations. <br />• An increase of almost 180% in our Elk River home office support staff. <br />(since 1997 when we moved into our present offices) <br />• The hiring of our first full time Human Resources director. <br />• The need for privacy for that HR person to perform their duties. <br />• Time to fully evaluate our future needs for office space and staffing. <br />The present over-crowded condition of our office is not conducive to good employee <br />morale or efficient production. It is particularly important, as you business people know, <br />to provide very private space for the Human Resources department. <br />Thank you for your consideration of our rather critical request and your prompt handling <br />of the matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bob Strong, Mgr. Real Estate <br />LeFebvre Companies, Inc. <br />
