FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

                On June14, 2006 the Finance Committee met to discuss a request to increase the capital appropriation for the fire department building from $5,700,000 to $6,156,288.  Present from the committee were Jenny Barlos and Todd Zimmerman and Mike Coyle of council.  Also present were Dave Hazard, Larry Gamble, Joe Camp and Chief Monto from the administration.  Finally, representatives of Poggemeyer were present. 

                The committee reviewed the request and went over in detail the reasons for the increase since the original appropriation earlier this year.  The primary reasons as set forth to the committee were as follows:

1.        An additional bay has been added that, despite being planned for, was not included in the figures that were brought forth to the finance committee earlier this year.  The estimated cost of this is $200,000.

2.                Waterproofing will need to be done more extensively than previously planned.

                      The estimated cost of this is $70,000.

3.        The main entrance will cost approximately $75,000 more than estimated

at its original design.

4.        A change in the site plan will require concrete beyond the original estimate. 

The estimate of this cost is $36,000.

                5.   No one planned for the cost of teledata terminations in the original estimate

(i.e. turning wire into phone jacks, plugs, etc.).  The estimate of this cost is

$60,000.

6.   A change from heavy-duty asphalt to concrete in some areas for longevity

                      reasons due to the weight of the equipment.  The estimate of this cost is

                      $40,000.

7.        A recent inflation rate of eight to ten percent in the construction industry.

The committee ascertained that the administration had been through the project several times to make significant cuts or changes where possible to decrease an even larger cost overrun from the original appropriation.  Further, with the newly requested appropriation amount the project will have a five percent contingency built in and thus should not need further appropriation.

Dave Hazard indicated that considering the previously budgeted capital expenditures, the City could make the additional appropriation and not have a negative impact on its Income Tax B fund.  The committee again made clear that the appropriation was not meant to take the place of the Buildings and Lands committee’s review of the necessity of certain items from the building perspective, but simply to make available the monies provided buildings and lands concurs.

                Thus, after extensive review it was the unanimous recommendation of those present from the committee that the appropriation for the fire station be increased to $6,156,288.

Respectfully submitted,

                Todd M. Zimmerman, Chair
               
Jenny Barlos
               
Brent Buehrer 

Mr. ZIMMERMAN moved the report be accepted in its entirety and that legislation be prepared to authorize approval to increase appropriation for the fire station, as requested.  Roll call: All members present voting yea, the Chair declared the motion carried. 

Mr. Coyle gave a verbal report from the Building and Lands Committee: 

Building and Lands Committee Report

                Mr. Coyle reported that the Building and Lands Committee met on June 19, 2006 at approximately 6:30 p.m. to discuss the plans for a new Fire Station to be located at 220 Illinois Avenue.  In attendance were Committee members Tim Pauken, Rich Carr and Mike Coyle; Larry Gamble and Chief Monto; and Jim Bell and Sonny Hamizadeh from Poggemeyer Design Group.
