Special Council Meeting
December 4, 2003
Mayor Johnson called a Special Meeting of the Plymouth City Council to order at 3:10
p.m. in the Public Safety Training Room, 3400 Plymouth Boulevard, on December 4,
2003.
COUNCIL PRESENT: Mayor Johnson, Councilmembers Hewitt, Bildsoe, Black, and
Stein.
ABSENT: Councilmembers Slavik and Neset.
STAFF PRESENT: Interim City Manager Ahrens, Finance Director Hahn, Park and
Recreation Director Blank, Community Development Director Hurlburt, Property
Management Coordinator Jones, and Lieutenant Webb.
BKV Architects presented conceptual plans and cost ranges for the public safety building
expansion project and possible City Hall entrance addition. Councilmembers indicated
their support of the conceptual plan which had the following costs: Public Safety
expansion-- $7,330,500; City Hall entrance -- $3,488,660, for a total project cost of an
estimated $10,819,160.
Finance Director Hahn explained possible financing for the project. The City has
approximately $3.5 million identified for the project, and the remainder would be
bonded.
The Council briefly discussed options of using a Construction Manager or an Owner's
Representative on the project. Community Development Director Hurlburt said that good
bidders are anticipated, which could serve in the General Contractor role; therefore, it
would be desirable to have an Owner's Representative for this project. Proposals will be
requested from Owner's Representatives and will be forwarded to the Council at a future
meeting.
Interim Manager Ahrens indicated that the conceptual plans and associated costs, along
with more specific financing impact, will be presented at the December 16 Council
meeting.
Councilmember Black requested that an option for one two-story office addition to City
Hall be included conceptually as an alternate for the Council to consider on December
16. Three addition areas were previously proposed and rejected, but several
Councilmembers indicated they would like to know the cost of one addition prior to
moving forward with the project. Staff was also requested to review space and storage
needs, and to identify possible efficiencies that could be achieved within the City Hall
building
