Mr. Fialho pointed out that Council could decide at that time to bifurcate the improvements to Lions Wayside Park and the complex in order to avoid doing the entire project simultaneously depending upon the resources available. There were no public comments. It was moved by Mr. Brozosky, seconded by Mr. Thorne, to approve design documents for Scenario #2 as outlined in the staff report and prior to authorization to bid this project, the total cost analysis, including the capital and operating costs, shall be provided to Council. In response to an inquiry by Ms. McGovern, Mr. Schindler said the project consultant's process would include the various review processes with the City over the next several months, and the actual preparation of the construction documents would be prepared in five months which would leave two months for the bidding process. Ms. McGovern asked if there were a way to accelerate the process? Mr. Schindler said the process could be accelerated but it was at the City's discretion. Ms. McGovern asked if Mr. Brozosky's motion allowed Council the best opportunity to do alternative bids when this project is ready to constructed? Mr. Fialho said yes. He clarified that Council was committing to the design documents this evening and as mentioned previously, t,here is a cost associated with it. At the end, if Council decided not to pursue the project, which is an option, it has committed approximately $800,000 to the design of the facility as presented in Scenario #2. Mr. Sullivan said he would support the motion with the understanding that when this item returned to Council prior to authorization to bid, it include the total cost analysis both from a capital and operating standpoint. Ms. McGovern concurred with Mr. Sullivan. The roll call vote was taken as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Brozosky, McGovern, Sullivan, Thorne, and Mayor Hosterman NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAINED: None Mr. Brozosky saw the improvements to Lions Wayside Park as a separate project and he did not want to diminish or take away from the Firehouse Arts Center or any other Council priority project. He believed the matter should return to Council for its consideration when it reviewed the Capital Improvement Program. Ms. McGovern envisioned the City working on its downtown with the Delucchi Park Restroom facilities, improvements to Lions Wayside Park and the Firehouse Arts Theater. She wanted to see how these projects could be pulled together. She asked staff when it planned to present planning documents to Council for the improvements to Lions Wayside Park?
