Historv
At the June 1, 1998 City Council meeting the Council authorized the
preparation of plans and specifications for the Library/Resource
Center.
Current Circumstances
The Architectural firm of Meyer, Scherer, and Rockcastle has
completed the plans and specifications, and with Council approval we
would a~vertise for bids for the project on July 25, 1998. We would
plan on opening bids on Thursday, August 20, 1998 and begin
construction this Fall. Councilmembers interested in reviewing the
plans and specifications should contact Paul Hokeness to arrange for a
reVIew.
The Issues
Currently there are no outstanding issues. City Attorney Suesan Lea
Pace and Barry Petit of Meyer, Scherer, Rockcastle are working out
the details in regards to the State of Minnesota tax exemption for
Public Libraries. This information will be included in the bid
packages and we will take advantage of every cost effective tax
exemption opportunity on this project.
Conclusion
If all goes well and bids come in on or under budget we would plan on
the facility being open in the Fall of 1999.
