Regular Meeting March 28, 2005 resident $260 and private event non-resident $325” were agreeable to the Parks Commission and Ms. Brungardt said that after considerable discussion, these numbers were determined. Ms. Welsch then asked for clarification - were these numbers recommended by the Parks Commission and if the staff had recommend the same figures of “$325 to use half of the facility and $675 to use the whole facility?” Ms. Brungardt responded yes. Mayor Adams asked for even further clarification when he inquired if these rates were for “normal events” and if the residents were holding a fund raising event, then rental fees would not be at this rate? Ms. Brungardt said there was a large laundry list of organizations who are exempt from standard rates, and that the current discussion was focused upon standard rates only. Mr. Sharpe said he had asked for a comparison of fees from other comparable community centers and he would like to wait until that information was received. Ms. Brot said the information had been received and she looked at fees for Olivette and Clayton and there had been a comparison made. Mr. Sharpe did not remember it. Mr. Ollendorff said he would put another one in the packets; the previous one was distributed three weeks previously. Mr. Ollendorff said the City’s rates were above average, but not the highest, and then he asked the Assistant City Manager who conducted the survey to approach the speaker. Mr. Moton described two surveys that had been conducted, one by himself and one by the Parks department. The City’s rates were basically in the middle or slightly above average from other cities in the survey, but over all we compared fairly with the others. Mayor Adams asked for any further comments and hearing none, called the question. Ms. Brungardt moved approval. Ms. Brot seconded, which carried six to one, with Mr. Sharpe voting Nay. Agenda # 7 – City Hall Restoration Contract: Mr. Ollendorff introduced the bids for the city hall restoration project for approval by Council so that completion of the city hall building can be done in time for our centennial. He recommends the contract be awarded to the low bidder Vince Kelly Construction for the total amount $3,550,200. Note there are several items included in the bid which we hope to carry out but they are not included in this recommended award, since we have not located adequate funding. We have enough money in the bank to cover the award he is recommending and we expect by this summer to have an adequate funding to be able to finance the excluded items.
