CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT
City Administrator Eric Hanson gave a report on the results of the recent bid opening for the new city hall building. He mentioned the very favorable bidding climate helped the project come in almost $300,000 under budget on the construction side alone and recommended the low bidder. The material testing also came in under budget.

The combined lower bid amount will mean the City can pay cash for the whole project without needing to finance any aspect—including the addition of the new board room.

Mayor Pogue stated he sat in on the contractor interviews and thought staff was recommending the right contractor to build the new City Hall building.

Alderman Stallmann thanked staff for their outstanding work on the project. He also thanked the Mayor and members of the Board prior to him being an alderman, who started this process.

Alderman Terbrock added that much of the credit was due to the prior City Administrator, Bob Kuntz, who had the aforementioned thought to create an ordinance to set aside money for this project. He stated a big thanks should go to him.
