Old Business:
1. ADM 2017-70 Building Conditions Survey Results
Ms. Willrett presented two more building reports: Beecher Center and Wolf Street building (which
houses the Public Works Department). She outlined the repairs needed at Beecher and said the overall
building condition is fair. An RFP will go out for repair costs and the recommendation by staff is to
continue to maintain this building. She also detailed the issues and repair costs for the Wolf St.
building. Staff also recommends maintaining this building since it is in good condition. There was
some further discussion by the committee. These two buildings will also be discussed at next month's
Administration Committee meeting.
Additional Business:
Chairman Frieders asked what the process is for forced annexation of businesses. Mr. Olson said there
are certain guidelines as part of the Comp Plan. Mr. Frieders said with the gas station coming in on
McHugh, it would make good sense for contiguity, to include the parcels still outside the city limits. In
conjuncton, Mr. Olson said people are still burning leaves in that area. It is illegal in the city limits and
the County is not enforcing it at this time.
In another matter, it was noted the school district has not yet approved the TIF.
There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 6:28pm.
