Workshop: Public Works building budget adjustment, Resolution 25-48
Discussed
Finance Director Richard Anderson previewed $39,265,437 for a new Public Works building, $10,000,000 so the Electric Fund can buy the existing building, and $11,565 for police overtime. With earlier appropriations the project totals about $54 million. The service center roof needs replacement and federal seismic grants were not approved. Public Works Director Paul Lindhardt said the existing center services nearly all city equipment and some new vehicles do not fit. Fleet Manager Mike Beckstead said one winter outdoors costs four to five times annual maintenance. Chair Simmonds raised earthquake and roof concerns and Council Member López asked for a visual presentation. Action was set for December 18.
