Louisville City Council Meeting <br />May 6, 2003 <br />Page 9 of 11 <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER'S REPORT <br /> <br />City Manager Bill Simmons asked Deputy City Manager Julie Boyd to report on the <br />progress of the police/municipal court building. <br /> <br />Boyd reported that Staff received updated cost estimates from GTC, the consulting firms <br />that will provide construction estimates for the facility. She noted the numbers came in <br />lower than expected, and the construction cost will be within the budget. Some optional <br />items have been added such as brick with stone accents and an 8,000 SF basement. She <br />stated the basement came in under the money appropriated, therefore, $64,000 will be <br />returned to the City budget. She reviewed the schedule as follows: Planning Commission <br />review on May 14, and Council review on May 20. Bid documents will be available at <br />the end of May, bid award at the end of June. Construction will begin in July 2003, and <br />be completed in July 2004. Staff is getting quotes for extending utilities and fiber optics <br />to the site. Staff will meet with the Horticulture and Forestry Advisory Board to discuss <br />the plant materials included in the landscaping plan. <br /> <br />Sisk stated he and Council member Keany attend the meetings and follow the progress of <br />the police/court facility very closely. He assured Council that any remaining funds from <br />the basement appropriations would be returned to the City budget. <br /> <br />City Manager Simmons asked Recreation/Senior Service Director Keith Williams to <br />report on Memory Square Pool improvements and the in-line skating rink project. <br /> <br />Williams reported on the May 2nd grand opening of the in-line skating rink. Staff is <br />completing the work on landscaping, drainage and the timer for the lighting. The project <br />came in $49,000 under budget, but with $30,000 add-ons for drainage, walkways and <br />additional lighting, the total cost for the project is currently $26,000 under budget. He <br />thanked the Finance; Planning; Public Works, Land Management and Recreation/Senior <br />Services Departments for their cooperative efforts in the in-line skating project. He <br />reported on the in-line rinks' public schedule, which provides time for leagues and <br />practice, general public use, birthday parties, and for noon-hour participants in the <br />business community. <br /> <br />Brown reported the grand opening was well attended and continues to be a popular <br />facility. He thanked Staff for their cooperative efforts and stated the in-line skating rink <br />is a wonderful facility. <br /> <br />Williams reported on a study conducted on the Memory Square Swimming Pool, which <br />divided the necessary improvements into three categories. Those categories are as <br />follows: 1) Immediate Improvements, 2) Bath House Improvements, and 3) Long-term <br />Improvements. This year, category 1 would include fencing to eliminate trip hazards; <br />stabilizing starting blocks; adding 2 lifeguard stations; providing an ADA lift; replacing <br />heating blocks in the pool heating system; replacing a fence around the wading pool; de- <br />energizing and removing the power lines in the alley behind the pool; and moving the <br /> <br /> <br />
