The ADA compliance issues must be addressed in the very near future and reasonable modifications to the historical structure have been proposed. For greatest efficiency and the best utilizations of resources, the ADA and storage issues should be addressed simultaneously. Given the age of the facility and the possibility of unknown issues associated with certain aspects of this project (particularly related to water lines), the architect estimated the work to be roughly $20,000 - $30,000. • Provide information on the HPC grant for Neihoff House, what occurs if don't receive grant funding — This is requesting money from the Louisville HPF. If funding is not granted the building's exterior will not be restored. • Legal costs associated with urban renewal efforts at the Former Sam's Club - No condemnation actions have been initiated warranting legal costs at this time. If a condemnation action is necessary to advance a redevelopment project at 550 S. McCaslin Blvd, a future budget amendment detailing proposed costs will be presented. CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION 18
