COUNCIL STUDY SESSION The Assistant City Manager /Public Works provided the staff report indicating that the report before the Council is an update from the 2004 report and that the City would like to be more proactive rather than reactive regarding the facilities, the report will be used as a planning tool for the next 20 years, the costs in the report are only estimates for now and will change throughout the 20 years, and some of the recommendations in the report are already scheduled for the next fiscal year. The consultants from Griffin Structures, Inc. provided a brief presentation outlining the process used to determine their findings in the July 2011 Facility Condition Assessment Report; recommended a vertical approach (work on one facility at a time - doing all needed repair); and indicated they provided costs for the replacement vs. renovation of the facilities. Mayor Pro Tern Miller indicated he had asked for the facilities assessment report, indicating he thought it would be in the same format as the 2004 report and requested a list of identified repairs that can be addressed now versus waiting for the vertical approach. The consultants indicated this will be taken into consideration in developing the final report. Mayor Levitt asked if there was anyone who wished to speak regarding this item: Robert Goldberg, Clipper Way, offered some suggestions (handout). Council stated their concerns regarding the report: could be modified and have a list of most urgent repairs, not sure about the vertical approach - need to have a regular schedule for maintenance of the facilities. There was no action required. The Assistant City Manager indicated that an item will be on the October 10th agenda for action on the 2011 Citywide Facilities Master Plan. ADJOURNMENT With no objections the Mayor adjourned the City Council at 9:45 p.m. to Monday, September 26, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. to meet in closed session, if deemed necessary.
