ATTACHMENT A <br /> <br /> Council Action History on Downtown Space Plan <br /> <br />On April 11,2001, council was presented with the concept of developing a long-range plan for <br />replacing downtown office space. The plan included both potential short-term and long-term <br />actions. Council directed staff to research a variety of ways to procure City buildings, including <br />design/build, and report back to council before planning new City buildings. <br /> <br />On April 25, 2001, council was offered several potential short-term actions to create a safer, more <br />efficient environment for staff currently located in City Hall. Council directed the City Manager to <br />(i) develop programming, space needs and site requirements for relocating certain police functions; <br />(ii) develop a long-term master plan for future use of the property in Roosevelt Yards by the Police <br />and Public Works Departments and a financial plan for implementation, including consideration of <br />redevelopment options for more efficient land use; (iii) dedicate the proceeds from the sale of four <br />surplus properties to the Facility Reserve; and (iv) identify and recommend an appropriate <br />downtown site for purchase for Fire Station #1, with a report back to council with final site <br />selection prior to purchase. <br /> <br />On May 16, 2001, council directed the City Manager to develop a financial strategy and <br />implementation plan for replacing City Hall and other downtown City office space with new <br />buildings. Council's direction included: consideration of possible joint development with other <br />agencies; consolidation; locations along 8th Avenue from Oak Street to the river as well as possible <br />sites for joint development with other agencies; and, potential for use of some of the warehouse <br />and historic structures east of Mill for some City functions. <br /> <br />The 2001-2002 Council Goals included an action priority to "Develop a strategy and implementa- <br />tion plan for City downtown office and public safety facilities." One of the three specific work <br />items included in this action priority was to adopt a policy framework for long-range plans to help <br />guide decisions on reinvestment in existing City buildings downtown. A policy for the <br />maintenance and preservation of City Hall and the Public Works Building was presented to Coun- <br />cil on July 5, 2001. This policy reduced the level ofreinvestment in both buildings to provide only <br />for an expected 8 to 10 years of continued use. <br /> <br />On September 19, 2001, council addressed both near-term and long-term projects by directing that <br />relocation of Special Operations and EPD personnel in the basement of City Hall, and relocation of <br />Fire Station #1 be the first priority of projects proposed in the Downtown Space Plan. <br />Construction of a new Police Services building and City Hall were the next tier of projects, with <br />design for the Police Services building projected to begin in FY05, and a replacement of City Hall <br />was targeted to begin design in FY08. <br /> <br />The September 19, 2001 council agenda item on funding the Downtown Space Plan included a <br />description of internal and external funding sources to implement the eventual replacement of City <br />Hall with new buildings. Council approved the staff recommendation that the projected funding <br />gap be met with a combination of the dedication of additional General Fund resources and General <br />Obligation Bonds. One of the proposed internal mechanisms, the payment of market based "rent" <br />by services that would be located in new downtown buildings, was the topic of a follow-up work <br />session on November 26, 2001. The "market rent" concept was incorporated as an on-going City <br />practice beginning in the adopted FY03 Budget. <br /> <br /> L:\CMO\2004 Council Agendas\M040721\S040721A-atts.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
