people should decide more things than leaving the decisions up to the
Council. Councilman Wright said that the laws require that hearings be
held, and on the strettgth of the information the Council has, they have
to make decisions. Mr Higgins said that in this case he felt he must back
the Council. He explained that he and his neighbors had petitioned the
City for a storm sewer because the home owners had wanted it. He agreed
that the price had come in higher than he expected, but he said that it
is nice not to have the lots flooded, and he thanked the Council
The Council received one written ob�ection against this pxo�ect from
Mr. and Mrs. Victor 7. Arnoldy, 5925 - 6th Street Northeast, because
they feel they already have enough special assessments in this area.
MOTTON by Councilman Harris to close the Public Hearing on Storm Sewer
Pro�ect ��5. Seconded by Councilman Wright
Mr. Paulson asked if they were closing the hearing, would this mean the
matter will be decided at the next regular meeting? Mayor Kirkham said
that it could be. The City Flnance Director said that there is sti11
two weeks work after the adoption of the Resolution, and it has to go
to the County as soon as possible. The Council said that the next meeting
was being held Octoher 31, 1966 and the decision could be made at that time
Mr. Paulson said that there was recourse for the people through District
Court if the ro11 is adopted. He said the people on the other side of
University had no voice in this hearing and they should have been here.
Councilman Wright said that Mr Paulson's statement was inaccurate in that the
people on the west side of University were not consulted because they will
have a separate assessment hearing.

no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the hearing closed at 9:50 P.M

1966 - CONFIRMING ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR STORM SEWER
MENT
���
io/�i/66
Mayor Kirkham said that if it is the Council's determination to move ahead
on this pro�ect, it is now in order to adopt a resolution. The City Mariager
reviewed the status of this pro�ect, and reminded the Council that the Public
Aearing had been held on October 19, 1966 and this item had been continued
until the meeting of October 20, 1966, at which time it had been tabled
until the meetCng of October 31, 1966. C9uncilman Wright said that he
was satisfied that the good of the City and the good of the drainage district
� wi11 be satisfied by adopting this resolution, but he would like to feel
also that Mr. Carl Paulson had received some satisfaction, and he asked
if Mr. Paulson had received replies to his questions. The City Manager
said that Mr. Paulson had not received a copy as they had �ust been received
this afternoon from the Consulting Engineer.
MOTION by Couacilman Wright to receive the copy of Mr Carl Paulson`s
questions, the memorandum from the Consulting Engineer with the replies
to the questions, and the memorandum from the Finance Director, and that
the Administration make a copy of the reply availa6le to Mr Paulson.
Seconded by Councilman Harris.
The City Manager said that the Council might wish to review the reply
before they release it, as it would be up to the Council, to add or delete
anything they may wish. Councilman Wright said that he had read the reply,
and that the points made seemed to be quite factual. Upon a voice vote,
there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried
Mr. Carl Paulson was handed a copy of the reply. He said that this was
his first chance to study the reply, and he said that it must be authentic
and verifiable. He asked if this was the first chance that the Council had
to see it, and he was told it was. Mr. Paulson asked how the Council
could vote on something so important without studying the report first.
The City Manager�explained that this was not new information to the Council.
� He said that it may be presented in a different form here, but that this
was information that has been given to the Council over the last few years
Councilman Wright said that Mr. Paulson had raised no new questions that
have not been answered, and he did not think any more study was necessary
Councilman Wright said he would be happy to give pSr. P-�ulsor. any answers
that�he may feel remain unanswered. Mr. Paulson said that he wanted to
make sure the Council knows a11 the facts before they vote, because this
will be appealed in District Court, Mayor Kirkham said that his feelings
personally; after reviewing the situation, were that there is no alter-
native but to adopt the xo11 as prepared. He said he would like to point
out the fact mentioned in the last sentence of the Finance Director's
memorandum that rt is costing about $475 each week that this�pro�ect
is delayed.
MOTIOPI by Councilman Wright to adopt Resolution �E156-1966 confirming
assessment roll SS��S for which a Public flearing was held October 19, 1966.
Seconded by Councilman Harris
Mayor Kirkham asked if there was anyone else present at the meeting that
wished to speak on this pro�ect. One person at the meeting said she was
�ust listening as their property is being assessed. Mr. Carl Paulson said
that he could not conceive of the Council proceeding on this basis, on a
matter that is so important to the people. FIe complained that he had had
trouble getting the information though it had been advertised that it was
available. The City Manager said that the roll was prepared in written
� form, but at that time had not been typed yet
Upon a roll ca11 vote; Those voting aye, Kirkham, Harris, Sheridan,
Wright, Samuelson, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
CONSIDERATION OF CITY HALL BIDS (OPENED 2:00 P M, OCTOBER 27, 1966):
MOTION by Councilman Harris to receive the letter dated October 27, 1966
from Mn. Mas Matsumoto of 5. C. Smiley & Associates, the letter dated
October,28, 1966 from Mr. Mas Matsumoto and the memorandum from the City
� ` 0 10/31/66
Manager dated October 31, 1966. Councilman Wright said that before these
are received, he would like to discuss the fact that the memorandum of
October 27th reports on a bid summary meeting which was not a legal council
meetLng. He sa�.d that no statutory notice had been sent out, he had received
no notice, and Councilman Sheridan and the City Manager had aot been present
at the meeting. He said that this had been a❑ informal meeting and the
receipt of these memorandums should not imply that this was a faithful
record, or should not imply that it was a formal meeting. Councilman Harris
said this was a fair intexpretation. He said that he had taken it upon
himself to sit down with Mr. Eilers and Mr. Matsumoto so they could get an
idea of where they stood and we shou?d know what they had to suggest. �
The City Manager said that his secretary had anformed him that she had
tried to reach a11 five Councilmen. Councilman Harris said that he had
felt that in this way Smiley, Assoclates would have time to prepare some
communication for the Council, otherwise they would have had to wait until
this evening Mr Matsumoto said that it had been his understanding that
rt was an informal meeting. Mayor Rirkham sazd that the Councilmea knew
that the bids were to be opened and anyone interested could have been there.
The motion to receive the letters and memorandum was seconded by Councilman
Wright. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the
motion carried.
Councilman Wright said that the only question that he had on the communicaCion
of October 27, L966 was on the paragraph which mentioned the architectural
fee. Councilman Harris said that the item of fees were brought up because
there was a question of the approximate dollars owed the firm. The Council
proc9eded to discuss the letter from S. C. Smiley, Associates dated
October 28, 1966 Councilman Wright said that he felt M-3 and E-3,
pertaining to air conditioning, should be kept as is proposed by the
architect and he is sure the Council agrees. Mayor Kirkham said that he
agreed with the whole recommendation by the architect Mr. Matsumoto
pointed out that the base bids vary. He said that the apparent low bidder
as general contractor is Sheehy Construction Company, but with the alternate
deducts taken, D. M. Noyes Construction Company becomes lower. Councilman �
Wright asked Mr Matsumoto what their experiertce with Noyes and Sheehy
Companxes has been Mr. Matsumoto said that Mr. Eilers had worked with
and considered Noyes Construction a good firm, and Mr. Matsumoto had worked
wrth Sheehy Construction and felt they were a good firm. Councilman
Wright said that he had checked a bit further and he had found that both
firms were reputable, although the Noyes firm needed a little needling
and strict supervision, but his information may be biased. Councilman
Wright asked the City Engineex if the City had ever worked with Noyes
Construction. Mr Qureshi said not to his knowledge. Councilman Samuelson
said that he had no ob�ection to Noyes Construction, that through his
information he was a good contractor. The CiCy Attorney said that Mr. Eilers
had indicated that Noyes did not have any other big �ob at present.
Councilman Harxis said that if the bid was awarded to them, they were aaxLOUs
to start immediately. Councilman Wright said that personally he was satisfied.
Councilman Samuelson said that he had worked with Hoffman ELectric Company
and they were a conscientious company.
The City Manager said that it could be pointed out fox the public that
these deduct alternates do not reduce the size of the City Ha11, Council-
man Wrlght said that neither does it drastically change any thing the
public will have contact with or use.
Councilman Wright said that there was one thing he would like to raise, and
he reminded the Council of a report sent to the FHRA from a committee headed
by Mr. Roger ,Tohnson which they had received December 20, 1965. He said �
that this report covered the present building and listed specific defects
for the most part safety and fire hazards He said that fie had looked at
this report and at the present structure, and had been able to geY an
informal estimate on the cost of reducing the fire hazard items and the
fume hazard to a safe code level, and they had been less than any one of
the bids. IIe said that the present plans include the use of this building,
and if they f-ollowed the recommendations of the committee report Chere
would be no fancy repairs, only those con,istent and proper to remedy the
defects in the present building. Councilman Harris said that he agrees
���
10/31/66
that there is certain work that needs to be done, how much he did not know,
but he felt this should be treated separately Councilman Wright suggested
they turn the list over to Mr. Matsumoto and ask him for aa opinion of
whether this could be added as a change order to the contract - not remodel-
ing the building, but fireproofing it to a safe level Councilman Wright
recommended also that they turn over the Johnson report prepared for the
FHI2A to Mr. Matsumoto asking for an on-the-spot inspection and asking him
to have a discussion with the contractor, regardless of who it is, regarding
minimum alternate adds as a change order to the contract Councilman
� Samuelson said he felt this decision should have been made long ago, and
he feels the Council should get other bids. He said that in most cases
a contractor will charge more money for alternate adds and some oF these
could be handled by the City personnel.
RESOLUTION �k157-1966 - A RESOLUTION OF IN'1�NT TO REMOVE DEFICIENCIES FROM
THE EXISTING CITY HALL:
MOTION by Councilman Wright to adopt Resolution -0F157-1966 that it be the
Council's policy that before a move to the new City Hall is made, Uasic
safety fire defects in the present building be remedied to minimum standards
at a minimum cost in whatever manner the Council chooses, and that the
Sohnson report be given to Smiley, AssociaL-es. Mr Matsumoto said they
would be glad to give the Council an informal opinion on the best way to
handle this or give them two or three alternatives Mayor Kirkham said
that he could not see why the Council should delay any riecision on the new
structure. Councilman Samuelson said that some of the items t.ould be done
by a separate contract or by the Fire and Police Department volunteering
Councilman Wright said that he felt the Council should be committed to it
now before they award the contract and a reasonable cost be set for it.
Mayor Kirkham said that he saw no reason why any action on this building
should delay action on the new building. Councilman Sheridan asked
Councilman Wright if he wanted the Council to commit itself to make
sure that minimal work is done. Councilman Wright said yes, before
the contract is awarded. Councilman Wright said that the Council has this
� report available to them, and he feels they should make a commitment to
minimal work being done to bring this building up to safety code The
City Manager said that the heating inspector was conversant with what
needs to be done. Mr. Matsumoto said that the real item would be what
point the Council accepts as minimum. He said he would talk to the inspector
about this, and based on that point they could recommend to the Council what
is required. Councilman Sheridan asked if this could be done in a week.
Mr. Matsumoto said they could accomplish this in a week or ten days
Councilman Sheridan seconded the motion. Mr. Sohn Meyer, a visitor to
the Council Meeting, said that the defects listed in the Johnson report
are based on the City building code. He said if these remedial repairs
are done after occupying the new City Hal1, eleven more months will go
by at great risk He said it seems obvious that the repairs should be
done immediately, and that a minimal amount of money should be set aside
for it. He said the Council should commrt themselves to this financially
before they distribute the money from the bonds to enter the contract
with the contractor.
Mayor Kiskham questioned whether the Council needs an architect to tell
them what needs to be done to bring it up to code He said that if we
have the report and our own inspectors, we could go ahead and do it our-
self as part of maintenance. Councilman Samuelson said he agreed with
this. Councilman Wright said it was fine if they could work this out as
� a maintenance item, but it is something that musC be done. Councilman
Harris said that he agreed that Mr Matsumoto would not be asked for any
structural changes, �ust his opinxon on the basis of a maintenance item.
He asked Mr Matsumoto if they could do this on that basis. Mr. Matsumoto
said he would assume that the shortcomings are items that the Council is
aware of. He said he did not know the total picture, but he thought that
there was much that the City could take care of Councilman Wright said
that as long as the building is up to code, it does not matter how it is
accomplished, �ust so a commitment is made to the public. The City Manager
said that the City Inspectors were aware of what needs to be done according
to code, but he was not sure of how competent they would be directing the
� � � 10/31/66
�ob to be done He suggested that if bids or speca.fications are needed,
it could go to Mr. Matsumoto to pu11 it together if necessary Council-
man Samuelson said that he would be willing to work with the Building,
P�lectrical and Plumbing Inspectors on this. Councilman Wright said he
wouLd be happy to take Gouncllman Samuelson's �udgment.
Coixncilman Wright, with the consent of the seconder, changed the wording
of his motion as follows: MOTION that it is the Council's policy that
the City Council is committed to pxoceed with remedial measures to bring
the present building to fire and safety standards, and that the Administra-
tion is to report to the Council what is to be done and the Council will '
act on this information. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor
Kirkham declared the motion carried.
Mayor Kirkham asked if there were any further comments on the deducts
or on the recommendation of the architect.
MOTION by Councilman IIarris to accept the de3uct alternates as shown and
recommended by the architect. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a
voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
The Council discussed the memorandum from the City Manager regarding the
Oman house at the corner of 64th Avenue Northeast and Sth Street Northeast.
Councilman Ldright said that the house was worth something and the Council
should make an attempt to find out if it was movable. The City Manager
said that Mr. Wa11y Oman was interested in the purchase of this property.
Councilman Harris said the Council could direct the Administration to
find out what value Mr. Oman would give and at the same time get bids
on it. He said he thought the bidder should be aware of any defects
Pfayor Kirkham said that they could find out if the house was movable from
the Building Inspector. The City Manager read from Section 12 06 of the
City Charter regarding the sale of real property which stated that this
could be done by ordinance.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to direct the Administration to investigate �
what value Mr Oman would give for the home on 64th Avenue Northeast and
Sth Street Northeast and where he would propose to place it, and that he
get an appraisal Seconded by Councilman Wright. Councilman Harris said
that any defects should be noted to the purchaser. Upon a voice vote,
there being no nays, Mayor IZirkham declared the motion carried.
Councilman Ldright had a question on the report of receipts and disbursements
on the City Hall construction fund to date. He asked about check �'�7525 Yo
D. W. Harstad Company for fire barn construction in the amount of $208.24.
He said he assumed this had something to do with the tornado in 1965 and
asked if the insurance had not covered this. The City Manager said he
would guess this was some change that was made in the building that insurance
would not pick up, but he would have to check to be sure.
Councilman Tdright said that the Council is aware that the present garage
is not to be incorporated in the plans and that the maintenance garage
must be relocated.
MOTION by Councilman Wright that rental costs for space for the maintenar}ce
garage (inside work) not be i¢cluded in the City Ha11 bond fund on the
grounds that this will be a continuing commitment, and that this be a
budgeted item external to the funds. The City Manager said that this
could be charged to the utility fund and some could come from the general
fund. Councilman Harris said he felt the moving costs should be kept to
a minimal amount. The City Manager said that it would be �ust man hours. '
Councilman Harris asked the City Manager if he had considered any site.
The City Manager said that P1r. Chesney had looked at the Hafner building
years ago, which was adequate in size, but there was a heating problem.
He said that he thinks that they have improved it since then and put in
flooring. He said he thought this is the one that should be looked at
first as it is the largest building availa6le to be used on a rental basis.
Councilman Harris said that he had talked to Mr. Hafner and he indicated
that the City could do what they wished, write up their terms, and he would
be pretty agreeable. Councilman HarrLS said that Mr. Hafnex indLCated it
could be on a lease or lease purchase for a period of time within reason,
�s�
1D/31/66
and they would lease back space at the first year's rental of the building
Any capital improvements would be applied against the rent or lease. He
said the present tenant has been notified that he will have to leave if the
City wishes to rent the building Councilman Samuelson said that the City
might investigate infra-red heating.
MOTION by Councilman Wxight that the Council authorize the City Attorney
and Administration to get together with Mr Hafner or his Power of Attorney
and prepare a contract for Council's approval on November 7, 1966, which
will give the Council immediate access to space and an esL-imate of what
� it would cost to make the space functional. The City Manager said that
they could look into this the next day, and they would also look into the
price space is p��esently going for. CounciLman Wright said he would like
to see a rental purchase option with all capital improvements to be written
off against the option. Councilman Sheridan asked if the Administration
contemplates just replacing the present space or looking for expansion space
over and above that which we may need lIe said that there was another
building that could be considered, known as the Cochran property which
is for sale or rent in an zndustrial area and he believes it is ready for
immediate occupancy. He said that it is smaller than the Hafner building
but probably larger than we have now. The Crty Manager said he was not
aware that this property was for sale and he will look into this also.
Councilman Wright said that his motion should be reworded to take into
consideration both sites. The City Attorney said that he and the Administra-
tion could consider both buildings and iP both are acceptable he would see
what kind of a contract he could arrange. Councilman Harris pointed out
that Mr. Hafner has stated that if they have to move tomoorow, they could
move over to his building, �ust so they w�uld assume responsibility.
Councilman Wright restated his motion as follows;
MOTION by Councilman Wright that the Administration contact bir. Cochran
and Mr. Hafner regarding a location of the maintenance shop, and seek to
negotiate with both parties for the most favorable building on a rental
purchase option not to exceed five years, with any caprtal improvements
� installed by the City to be applied against the rent or purchase, with a
lease back by owner of any space not needed, and that the Administration report
back to the Council at the regular Council Meeting of November 7th wrth
proposals, contracts, and comparable costs if possible. Seconded by
Councilman Harris. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried.
ADDITIONAL SITE WO�K:
Councilman Harris said that the site work was deleted as alternate G-1
in the amount of approximately $25,D00. He said he felt there was some
that should be done, such as the blacktopping, concrete curb and gutter,
and he suggested that the Council ask the architect to check with the
general contractor to see what he would do the ad3itional work for. The
City Manager questioned what funds they might want to use for this. He
said that at present he thinks we are about $30,OOD short of the money
necessary, but that there are some potentials in the budget and also some
liquor fund money. He said that perhaps he and the City Finance Director
could get together and work out some funding, 2nd the Council could decide
if they want to commit it to the pro�ect. Councilman Harris said that the
Finance Director had said that they could reasonably take $30,000 out oi
the liquor fund. The City Manager said there was perhaps $35,000 in liquor
funds, perhaps $5,000 to $10,000 in the budget, part of which had been
budgeted for an Administrative Assistant Councilman I�arris said that
they could add up available funds and perhaps set a limit at approximately
� $465,000. Councilman Wright asked if this included Mr, Smiley's fees
Councilman Harris said yes. Councilman Wright asked the City Attorney
if they can legally award the contract when they are short of funds.
The City Attorney said he thought they could legally award the bids if
they had the assurance that the funds were available, Councilman Wright
asked if there was any statute that would prohibit them from putting
money into the bond account The City Attorney said he did not know of
any, but they would probably be limited on what they could use the mone�
for.
1�4
10/31/66
Councalman Sheridan asked what G-1 alternate consisted of. Mr. Matsumoto
saxd xt was sodding base, concrete curb and gutter, a11 finish work on
the land outside the building The contract at present leaves in the walks
around the building and rough grading. Councilman Harris suggested that
they put back the blacktopping, curb and gutter, and grading to street level
on 64th Avenue. The City Manager said that it would perhaps be possible
for the Crty to buy and lay sod cheaper. Civic clubs may even want to do
some of the landscaping. Mr. Matsumoto said they would be happy to ask
the contractor to give a breakdown of the s�te work bid. Councilman
Sheridan said that perhaps our own engineers could give us a price that �
would beat that of the contractor. Councilman Wright sa�d he could see
two problems on these suggestions. He thought there should be an allowance
of some money for maintenance on this building which should have equal
priority and he thought the $S,D00 figure they have discussed on the
architect's fee was very conservative. He'said he would like another
$10,000 allotted for this building when they take funds £rom the liquor
fund. The City Manager said that the goal could possibly be set at
$475,000 and this probably could be handled, Councilman Harris said
he suggested a figure for site preparation so they will know where the
money is coming from instead of taking money out of general revenue. He
said he would rather take money out of general revenue from maintenance
of this building. The City Manager said that in a couple of weeks the
Finance Dixectox and he will be working on the transfer resolution and
they wi1Y be close to knowing what amounts will be available. The Council
decided that this fund could be taken care of in a separate action from
the contract award.
