RE: New City Hall Review
Gentlemen:
Following is a summary of issues relating to your new city hall which I
thought would be good for you to refer to as an update:
(1) We will be moving on January 10th. The mover selected
is Bester Bros. of South St. Paul. They have been in
business in the areas for some 20 years. Their price
was much better than the $4,100 you approved. It came
in at just under $1,850. City staff will be packing
and unpacking.
Some city staff will be working that Saturday just to
help locate furniture and make any on the spot
decisions necessary.
(2) Cleaning -- You have a report on the three cleaners
from which I received quotes. I did review a fourth
quote from John Hawkins of Rosemount. John does
monthly service at our existing city hall. John's
quote was $1,800/month. I felt it was good we received
this quote and felt even better about recommending
Fidelity Services.
(3) Furnishings -- To date I've ordered $11,106 worth of
furniture. The estimated cost for additional to
furnish all areas is about $13,000. This does not
include equipment for the workout room. I don't have
any numbers on that yet. Parks & Rec and the Police
Department are working on a plan for the workout room,
and we'll have a recommendation for you to consider the
first meeting in February.
.Once we move in, there will be miscellaneous items to
purchase which we can't foresee at this time.
I have contacted John Lock, and he has agreed to head
up a committee to put together a display for the wall
dedicated to "Historical Rosemount". We're having an
article put in the paper asking for help and pictures
for the display.

I've also talked to Niki Kimberly, representing the
local arts group. She is suppose to put together some
ideas on displays of local art work at the new
building. She will get this to us sometime in January.
(4) Construction -- The original bond issue for the
building was: $1,300,000.
Bond Discount (30,094)
Contract Amount (988,700)
Change Orders to Date (52,000) Approx. to $100.
Architect Fees (63,276)
Fiscal Costs (11,417)
Furnishings to Date (11,106)
Balance Available (12/31/86) $ 143,407
Estimate Add'1 Furnishings (13,000)
$ 130,407
This amount will be available for remaining change orders,
additional furnishings and computer equipment which may be
part of getting totally established at the new facility.
I thought you would like to get a picture of the financial
end of the project as we continually come back to you for
approval on purchases and change orders.
(5) Open House -- I would expect we should consider an open
house at the new facility for sometime in late February
or early March. Please start thinking about ideas and
suggestions for this. Staff will do the same, and
we'll present to you some ideas in a month.
If there are any questions on any of this or anything to do with the new
building, please contact me.
Respectfully,
46'
