REQUEST FOR CONSULTANT ANALYSIS - FACILITIES STUDY As discussed at the September 17th budget meeting, City Administrator Bernhardson stated that the request was made to engage the consulting engineer to spend up to $8,000 in analyzing current buildings regarding structural ability, rehabilitation and code compliance together with a program analysis process of space needs based on existing needs and projected future needs.
