3. USE OF 2006 REET1 AND REET 2 FUNDS FOR FACILITIES PROJECTS - AUTHORIZE
Charlie Lindsey, Superintendent of Facilities presented the Use of 2006 Reetl and Reet 2 Funds
for Facilities Projects. Mr. Lindsey stated the request in the agenda packet was for use of the
Reet 2 Funds, however, it was determined that both Reetl funds and Reet 2 funds would be
requested. The Reet 2 Funds would be used toward the Senior Center Greenhouse project. Mr.
Lindsey stated that the Senior Center Greenhouse renovation project received only one bid which
exceeded the original costs estimate and additional upgrades were approved for the audio/visual
system resulting in a cost overrun of $173,100.80, much of these was caused by the fact that the
city did not have up to date As-Built drawings. Mr. Lindsey requested to use 2006 excess REET2
funds to cover the cost overruns for the Senior Center Greenhouse renovation project.
Debbie Raplee moved to recommend approving the use of 2006 REET2 funds to cover
the costs overrun to complete the Senior Center Greenhouse. Deborah Ranniger
seconded the motion, which passed 3-0.
The Centennial Garage Seismic project experienced delays due to a dispute between the Engineer
and Contractor resulting in a cost overrun of $178,799.33, and that the project had not been
adequately bid and it was necessary to require twice the number of dampers, and a different
template for the columns and cables in the rebar to line up the bolt holes for the dampers. City
Attorney Tom Brubaker addressed the Committee regarding the dispute with the contractor on
the project and answered questions of the Committee. Mr. Lindsey requested to use 2006 excess
REET1 funds to cover the cost overruns for the Centennial Garage seismic project.
Deborah Ranniger moved to recommend approving the use of 2006 REET1 funds to
cover the costs overrun to complete the Centennial Garage Seismic project. Debbie
