Assistant Executive Director Weiss presented the staff report. Board Member Adolph stated he is not sure temporary is the way to go and is leaning toward a permanent structure because it's something that will be used in the future. Board Member Sniff stated he supports having a permanent kitchen, and noted the cost prorated over the next 20 to 30 years is not bad. Board Member Osborne indicated he agrees a permanent structure is a long-term investment that should be made. He is somewhat concerned about the price submitted by the contractor but realizes the City doesn't have much alternative at this point. Board Member Perkins stated he believes the kitchen should be done as a permanent structure because this is a first-class resort. Chairperson Henderson concurred because she believes this facility has a future on this project. Board Member Adolph asked about tying the existing walls and the new restroom walls with the kitchen. Building & Safety Director Hartung noted it could all have been done differently if the structures were designed from the beginning. However, the restroom walls, which are almost done, are made of slumpstone, and a smooth finish is needed for the kitchen walls. Additionally, the kitchen will be stick-built instead of masonry walls. Board Member Adolph noted a smooth coat of plaster can be put on the slumpstone, and a post and beam could be used to incorporate the masonry wall with the stick-built wall. He pointed out it would be less expensive and add six inches to the interior. Mr. Hartung indicated a ledger would need to . be added to the restroom wall because both walls are bearing walls. Board Member Adolph asked if the existing equipment in the kitchen will be used, and where the hot water heater will be relocated. ~_.._..__._-_..__.._- ---- ~ - -- ~ Redevelopment Agency 3 November 22,2004 Special Meeting Minutes He believes the hot water heater will be relocated in the existing building near the shower area. Board Member Adolph recommended the window space in the existing restroom area be framed for shelving instead of boarding it up. Mr. Hartung confirmed the $195,000 price includes all of the equipment listed on the plans. He noted having to negotiate a change order instead of going to an open bid places the City at a disadvantage. MOTION - It was moved by Board Members Sniff / Adolph to approve Option 2 to construct a permanent kitchen per the Dahlin Group design, and transfer $195,000 from the SilverRock Resort project contingency to the kitchen project.
