ADMINISTRATORS COMMENTS Administrator tt Date COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: ❑ APPROVED ❑ DENIED OTHER Dooument2 r C ity o Cottacie G To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members From: Ryan R. Schroeder, City Administrator Date: February 10, 2011 Subject: February 16, 2011 PSCH Workshop and Presentation On February 16 we will have two separate discussions regarding the PSCH project. First will be a 6PM workshop, facilitated by Wold Architects to over site and Council Chamber issues to gain direction. Second will be a presentation by Wold at the regular Council meeting to provide the public with a status update. It is anticipated that this will be a 10 or 15 minute update. It is further anticipated that one or more citizens may request time to present concerns or questions. The Mayor has informed one interested party that a structured presentation should be limited to 15 minutes. The City has received suggestions that communication efforts have not been sufficient. In reaction to that suggestion I have included an enclosure denoting important action steps between 1993 and today that relate to the PSCH project. Most notable is the planning effort that determined the government campus site for the South Service Center, this project, and perhaps others. As shown in the exhibit that process began in 2003 and was effectively complete by mid 2006. There were a series of Open House Events along the way with the government center campus initially rolled out publicly on February 24, 2004. It was that process that determined the government campus site off County Road 19. The site review process in 2010 began in March to evaluate if Norris Marketplace presented a site alternative. Upon completion of a design charette in April and May Council directed a more expansive site review. Council narrowed sites on June 2 and confirmed continuance of the East Ravine site on June 16. Going forward, as is noted in the project timeline we have upcoming public meetings as follows in our schedule: March 16, 2011: Council workshop on building materials March 29, 2011: Community Open House at 6PM with Presentation at 7PM April 6, 2011: Design approval; authorize construction documents April 25, 2011: Planning Commission Site Plan Review May 4, 2011: Council Site Plan Review June 15, 2011: Approve construction drawings and set a bid date We anticipate that a bid would be awarded on August 17, 2011 with the notice to proceed on September 1, 2011. In addition to the above there will continue to be Advisory Commission updates with expected requests for these commissions to address aspects of the project. There will also be meetings expected related to the site such as grading approvals and project financing. These are not yet scheduled.
