THE meeting was c~lled to order at 7:50 p.m. Roll Call - Connor, Heintz, Land,
Nawrocki - Present. Norberg - Absent.
Motion by Heintz, seconded by Connor that Barb Sahli be named Secretary Pro-Tem
for this special meeting.
PURPOSE OF THIS MEETING: Consideration of proposal for work on the remodeling in
the City Hall.
Mr. Watson reviewed the updated estimates on the remodelling costs. He reported
that the estimates were prepared in May and the cost of various installations then
totaled just over $16,000 and that Revenue Sharing Fund~.i, were allocated for this
purpose. The need for changes in the original estimate.~l, were reviewed. These in-
cluded the need for a storage area to hold equipment fo~i'merly in the area beside
the judges stand and in the Clerk of the Court Storage Fl',oom.
We also plan to remove one wall in the Clerk of the Cou~l't office and make a larger
office. We also find the receptionists room would not ~l~ork out too well using
desks and tables so we plan to build in a counter and sll~elving units. We built in
a council table on the platform and this was done in comjunction with that part
of the construction.
New lighting is planned for the new part over the councl'l table. Lighting in the
City Office Area would not be satisfactory using the ol,i~ fixtures and our library
and basement storage room could use the old fixtures. Yhe total additional cost
of completing the panelling of the entire office area will bring the total to
over $24,000. ($3,500 budgeted for 1973 and $21,000 froiIn Revenue Sharing.)
The specific request, therefore, is to authorize an increase in the amount of
Revenue Sharing allocated from $16,000 to $21,000 which will allow us to complete
the Council Chambers and Administrative offices as propDsed.
The City Manager then requested that the Mayor and City Manager be authorized
to enter into agreements for certain phases of the remoi~eling work as recommended
by the Building Inspector, Public Works Director, and Ciity Manager as follows:
REY'S ELECTRIC on lighting system
JORDON FLOOR COVERING for carpet tns~allatio~

$2,875.00

Motion by Land, seconded by Connor to inrease the alloc!ation of Revenue Sharing
Funds from $16,000(as oYiginally approved July 9, 1973)i to[$21,000 for the Muni-
cipal Building Remodeling and said expenditures constitlute ordinary and necessary
