EXECUTIVE SESSION: Pursuant to ORS 192.660(2)(e) The City Council met in executive session pursuant to ORS 192.660(2)(e). 2. WORK SESSION City Hall Update Design and Construction Manager Mike Penwell led the council in a discussion on rebid options on low-cost reductions, simplification of south facade, and the mechanical system. Council discussion: • Do not want to reduce energy efficiency and subvert City's energy goals. • Better options may be available that aren't currently begin explored. • Keeping all options on the table makes sense. • Prioritizing short-term costs over long term costs is unwise. • Request made for a drawing showing building without the second skin. • Not having updated AV seems counterproductive; not using cedar would be a mistake. • This process isn't eliminating options but keeps them viable. • Each option needs to be a smart choice over the long-term. • Shouldn't alter proposed mechanical system; keep it energy efficient. • Reconsider EWEB site; schedule a tour of the facility. MOTION AND VOTE: Councilor Zelenka, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved to direct the City Manager to continue with work on a rebuild option that includes the low- and no - cost reduction items presented at the work session and continue to work on a rebuild option to explore simplification of the south facade including elimination of the double skin.. PASSED 6:1, Councilor Clark opposed, Councilor Evans absent.
