six concept options for the Butterfly Lot/Rock N Rodeo site revised to show the updated costs related to site acquisition. The total costs for the six concept options on the existing City Hall site range from $114.4 million to $118.4 million. The total costs for the six concept options on the Butterfly Lot/Rock N Rodeo site range from $126.8 million to $129.2 million, not including a replacement site for the County Courthouse. Additional Consultant Work As an alternative to selecting a site at the work session, the council could direct the design team to perform an additional study to investigate the opportunities and constraints of each site in more detail and, if desired by the council, present the results at an additional Community Forum. The study could include further development of the phasing possibilities for each site (in lieu of the complete 25 year build-out), future expansion opportunities beyond a 25-year build-out, a more informed concept design on each site, and the associated costs. Additional public input could then be received at a Community Forum to be held in February 2007. Materials from the additional study and results from the Community Forum would then be presented to the council in a work session in late February or early March. RELATED CITY POLICIES The City Hall Complex master planning and public participation process relates to the council goals of an effective, accountable municipal government, a safe community, and sustainable community growth and change. COUNCIL OPTIONS The council may decide to select a site for use in Schematic Design during the Implementation Plan Phase or direct the design team to perform additional study to investigate each site's opportunities, constraints, and costs in more detail prior to commencing the Implementation Plan Phase. Council may also decide to have the consultant team hold an additional Community Forum on site selection to inform the council's decision-making process. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION Due to the greater flexibility and lower cost of the existing City Hall site, and the proximity to potential future expansion space, the City Manager recommends the existing City Hall site be carried forward for use in Schematic Design. SUGGESTED MOTION Move to select the existing City Hall site for use in Schematic Design. ATTACHMENTS A. Summary of Site Pros and Cons B. Comparative Site Costs C. Comparative Cost Model Summary D.
