Council Meeting - June 30 , 1980 Mayor Van Nest moved, Paurus seconded, to arrange future Town Meetings and to include the School Districts. Motion, Ayes (4) - Nays (0) . Alan Olson, City Planner, prepared a memo CRYSTAL BAY POST regarding space analysis for the post office OFFICE building dated June 19, 1980 , which states: In February, 1980 , a major space analysis was undertaken for all of the various administrative buildings, resulting in two recommended alternatives for better space utilization. Some of the moves have been done, especially in consolidation of the Public Works Coordinator and his secretary into the main administrative building. The major deficiencies remaining are a general lack of efficient space (poor circulation and crowding) and a total lack of any usable conf erence room. These continuing problems, plus a renewed interest in retaining some post office functions, has lead to a new look at the post office building. Assuming the post office were to retain about 200 sq. ft. for a small station, the remainder of the building could be occupied by a City department. With about 700 usable sq. ft. inside, this means about 500 sq. ft. would be available for City use . This can accommodate no more than three persons given the existing entry, toilet and mechanical spaces. The best use of this space is for the assessing district. They fit in the area and are the most autonomous depart- ment. Building and zoning would fit in the post office building nicely by ourselves, but not together with any post office space. , (Continued)
