Item/Subject Resolve, Making an Appropriation from Me General Fund's Undesignated Fund Balance
for Certain purposes Related W the Waterworks.
Responsible Department City Manager
Commentary:
Me City has been working with Me Coostel America program since last spring in an effect to rermvate
and reuse Me Waterworks Complex. A series of meetings have recently been hNd with a variety of
reprecentadves of this program, and it has became apparent Mat some preliminary expenditures are
requiredto determine Me feasibility of using Mis mechanism for this purpose. Aslbelieveyouare
under this program, various federal resources are used to provide labor for projects designed
to enhance the natural and human environment in coastal areas. Various costs, however, remain the
responsibility of Me local organization, in this case Me City.
Based on Mese conversations, the City must First update a structural study of Me building to
determine whether it is in a safe condition for work to be performed. In addition, a number of
environmental remediation steps must also be taken W address such issues as asbestos and lead
paintremoval,
We should also recognize Me potential for additional City expenditures for each items as roof and
Floor repairs and installation of a railroad crossing. The City Engineer has develop Preliminary
estimates for Me range of costs Me City may be required to absorb to bring the structure into the
necessary condition to utilize the labor that can be provided by Coastal America. This cast estimate is
attached.
This imbal expenditure level should be seen as a part of our effort to determine the feasibility ofthis
approach toward renovating the waterworks. While this work is proceeding, staff will continue to
discuss the project with Coastal America, proceed with Me necessary permitting, and further explore
the potential end uses for the complex. Should we determine Mat renovation is rent financially
feasible, the majority of these expenditures, particularly those related W environmental issues, en um
be required should the City decide and receive permission to remove the structures. At this pointe I
would recommend your approval of this appropriation.
