DISCUSSION - <br />1. Common versus split site - Attachment B is a draft <br />summary of the issues related to the site, both ones <br />that are quantifiable together related issues in the <br />areas organizational development, location and <br />compatibility of land uses. It is requested that <br />Council indicate other issues they may think are <br />relevant or questions as to information presented. Jack <br />Boarman is reviewing the draft. <br />2. Neighborhood questionaire - A questionalre is being <br />draft for Council review. The questionaire will attempt <br />to give background and alternatives that would be <br />helpful to the neighborhood in making an informed <br />decision. If Council desires to undertake alternative <br />design for the Crystal Bay site, such designs would be <br />most helpful to give a perspective on how the building <br />would fit. <br />Storage of Pub lie Works equipment - As mentioned at <br />the January~?8th meeting, staff nas been exploring what <br />to do with the current ’'Lumber Shed” and the equipment <br />stored therein.

It is estimated that to rent the <br />sole building there, which would be storage but <br />large enough to allow the operation to work out of <br />that facility on an interim basis, would be about <br />$50,000 a year plus utilities. This facility <br />however, would not equate to the longterm needs and <br />would result in much jockeying of equipment and <br />outdoor storage to make usable together with <br />lacking many of the offices and shops that are felt <br />needed on a longterm basis for the City. <br />C. Tear Down Existing Facility, Undertake Outdoor <br />Storage of Current Indoor Storage Materials - Under <br />this optTon the City would fence in the parking lot <br />next to the lumber shed area, together with <br />utilizing the fenced in area under the Navarre <br />water tower for storage of trucks and other <br />equipment outside until a new facility was
