River MEPIORANDUM Item S.6. TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Mayor and City Council Pat Klaers, City Administra~'~ January 12, 2004 Public Safety-City Hall Project Update At the December 8, 2003, City Council meeting a brief update ~vas provided on the status of the Public Safety - City Hall - Utilities construction project. At that time, it was noted that the schedule for moving back into the remodeled City Hall/Pohce Station areas had been "tentatively" set up for the February 13 - 16 timeframe. On January 6, 2004, the monthly meeting with the construction manager (Kraus - Anderson), the Architects (Tushie Montgomery), and city staff was held. At that meeting it was discussed that most of the ~vork associated with the Public Safety Facility had been completed.

Nelson-Rudie & Associates, Inc., our consultant for this part of the project, is evaluating the situation to determine what exacdy is wrong with the lighting system and ultimately the responsibility for fixing the problem will be with the electrical contractors. Another issue that is ongoing with the Utilities building has to do with the heat. In this regard the boiler temperature situation has been addressed, the early morning start-up procedures have been changed and only the occupied versus unoccupied building status issue still needs to be resolved. This last heating issue will be the responsibility of the contractor. Finally, in terms of outstanding issues with the Utilities building, the masonry work will
