RE: Armory Cammittee UpdatejFunding Request
The Armory Committee has been woxking for several monttis ta put
together a listing of po�ential uses and corresponding facility
components for the armory�community project.
The Committee has tnured several cities to see their armories
and/or community facilities. The committee has listened to
representatives of ather cities who have built community
faci.lities such as theaters, ice arenas, banquet facilities
either, in conjunction with the building of an armory , or
separately. ,
The committee also met twice with representatives of the Guard,
once to kick off our work program to discuss overall planning and
how the armory program works and once to discuss arehitectural
- design and construction options. �
At this juncture the eommittee would like to put some numbers to
the items on the list of potential faeility options.
In order to do this with some credibility we will be asking
authorization to spend funds out of the armory fund, fo have an
architeet take aur list of facility options and give us some
general ideas of the cost we would be looking to build those
items.
This work would not entail the production of detailed lists of
building components and cast factors but a "ballpark" range of
cost for each optian. It would take an experienced architecturai
firm only a few hours to accomplish this.

Armory Update
Memo to Couneil
December 1, 1989
The purpose o€ doing this is to give to the committee some
realistic costs associated with each item they are considering so
that the committee can consider eaeh item as to its relative cost
and assaciate its costs to the affect it will have 'on the
community in regazds to tax 1evy.
One of the major concerns the city wi11 have is paying far any
and all of this project. The committee is well aware of the
potential this project has for improving the life of the
Rosemount community but also is sensitive as to how important it
� wi1.1 be to make this a project the whole community can enjoy and
i support.
T have discussed this with David Kroos, of Boarman and
Associa;tes . They are the firm claing the Space Needs Study for
;. • �� � us. David wi�I liave a cost estimate for the work to us� on Monday • :
'; and the Armary Committee will review and make a reeommet�dation to ' �
you on Tuesday. I expect the cost will be no more than a $10Q0.
I will be asking for your approval `,for this expenditure and will
have the exact amount.
