The first is the purchase of land west of the Public Works building, the second is the completion of the pavilion building at Andover Station North Ball Fields. Slyzuk Property Councilmember Trude stated she was concerned that is appears they are putting a lot of water and sewer funds into this parcel ofland when they still have a lot of water projects on their project list and the water users are already paying for the land of the new water treatment plant. She stated she was having a difficult time justifying tapping those two funds for the land purchase when she sees a big portion of that land is access to the Community Center/General City Center. She did not think the budgets were allocated for this previously. Mr. Berkowitz stated the whole Public Works Facility obviously covers all of the streets, parks, sewer and water and so enterprise funds as it relates to public works expansion is a reasonable 0 expenditure. Councilmember Orttel thought forty-percent was pretty high and when he first read this he thought it may be some sort ofloan, but it is not. He stated it seems as though there are no other options and could be considered a loan if not justified. Councilmember Trude indicated she would like more information regarding that idea The Council discussed with staff possible funding. Councilmember Jacobson suggested they authorize the use of the CenterPoint Energy money towards this while having staff look at the shortfall and find other options. Councilmember Trude wondered if they need to look at this for 2009. Mr. Berkowitz stated he would have to review this because he thought the take down date was important. Motion by Councilmember Orttel, Seconded by Councilmember Jacobson, to use the CenterPoint money and bringing this back at a workshop meeting for further discussion. Motion carried unanimously. Ballfields Councilmember Jacobson stated when they looked at the skateboard park they said "no" since they were short $80,000, but now they somehow have the money, he wondered if they were being fair. 0 Mayor Gamache asked what the costs have been for the ballfield and building to this point. Mr. Berkowitz stated the ballfield was approximately $800,000 and the cost of material has gone up significantly since last year. 0 Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes - June 17, 2008 Page 4 Councilmember Trude stated she would like to see a balance sheet for Andover Station North to see what is still owed. Mayor Gamache inquired as to the cost of just doing the fire suppression. Fire Chief Winkel stated it is usually ten percent of the entire cost for the building. He stated he would like to see this level of protection because it is open and vulnerable. Mr. Berkowitz stated the entire lighting system is run from the building and irthere was a fIre, they would lose all of that. Councilmember Orttel wondered if it needs to be sprinkled even if it is not occupied. Fire Chief Winkel stated if it is going to be occupied, it would need to be sprinkled. They could let it go for now, but there will still be an exposure risk and the building could be sealed up. Councilmember Trude thought they need more details before making a decision. Motion by Councilmember Trude, Seconded by Jacobson, to table this item until they have more information, either at the workshop or another Council meeting. Motion carried unanimously. 0 RESCHEDULE AUGUST 5TH COUNCIL MEETING To give the Council the opportunity to attend National Night Out events throughout the City on August 5, 2008, it is recommended that the August 5, 2008 Council meeting be rescheduled.
