BUILDING EXPANSION
The Financial Advisory Board recommended that the City expand into
the house behind City Hall with the walkway attachment. They felt
that it was the least expensive option that could be used immediately
and improved slowly.
Rascop doesn't support adding onto the front of the current City Hall
unless all ground water problems are corrected.
Haugen asked if the City could afford the smallest addition proposal.
Vogt reviewed probable excess revenues that could be used for the
addition. The least expensive proposal would cost approximately
$126,000.00. Stover suggested setting a top price and see what the
architect could provide for that price. Gagne stated that most
residents he spoke to, supported the use of the house for expansion.
Rascop would like to talk to neighbors now that cost figures are
available. Stover would like to use the house and set use
restrictions on the house.
Haugen moved, seconded by Gagne, to thank the architect for work done
and discontinue further services. Motion carried - 5 ayes.
Haugen moved, seconded by Gagne, to hold a meeting on August 13th at
7:30 p.m. with the ~ouncil Staff, and the local residents. This

Motion carried - 5 ayes. Vogt will present the costs of the various
plans, Nielsen to list code issues and the Council will set policy.

location of the Public Works Department also.

needs analysis for the future needs of the Public Works Department,
to be prepared by staff. Motion carried - 5 ayes.
