In an effort to provide a healthy and aesthetic surrounding for our Publi.c Works
Supervisors to work and our Public Works Employees to have breaks, we have
contacted Mr. Charles Novak to prepare some plans and specifications regardir�g
the south bay. The plans eall for three offices alang the south haif of the
south bay. The exterior wall would be permanent, however the interior office
walls would be some type of partitions to allow the most flexibility. The north
half of the south bay would be the employee lunch, break and meeting area. The
lunch area wil,l provide some kitchen cabinets along with a sink. The entire area
will be heated and cooled by a new system mounted above the roof.
In order to meet code we have to add another bathroom to the one bathroom that is
existing. The existing bathroom will have to be removed to make room for the new
bathroom. Both bathrooms will be handicapped accessibie. The new bathroom that
_ will be eonstructed in the corner of the next bay will require the relocatian of
the existing air compressor.
In a related item, we are also lookinp, into improving the venti.lati�n tc� the
mechanics bay area. Their present system is inadequate to handle exhaust from a
small engine. The fumes can be bad enough to almost choke a Minnesota mosquito.
Even though the possibility exist of relocating the Public Works Facility in the
future, we feel that the need for office space for City departments is so �;reat
t.hat we feel the rc�modelinp of the so�rr.h b��y wil.1 not bc wt�sted. St.nff h,ys
