      3. Discuss/Take Action – Public Safety/City Hall, Fire Dept. Building Project – Mr. Renfro, the conceptual plans have been approved now to go forward from this point I need to know what the council wants inside these buildings. A detailed scope of work is needed to give an estimate of cost. Mike Shea is now the contact person for the NVFD for the building project. Mr. Shea, I’m wondering what happen from the time I was on the council to now, I was told that in the last meeting that a plan was approved for the fire dept that did not include a bathroom? Mr. Stevenson, that’s not a true statement. Mayor Schell, my understanding was to get the bays up to house the equipment, that was the priority and then after the bays were up that we would then expand on the city hall. Mr. Drummonds, you’ve seen our budget, our thinking was to spend the initial funds and build the bays and that would at least be a step and then as funds are raised we can make improvements. Mr. Shea, why don’t we have a meeting with Paul tell him the bare necessities what we could live with have him price it out and then we can present it in the July meeting. Mr. Drummonds, we cannot approve it on just his cost estimate we have to put the project out there for sealed bids. Mr. Renfro, I don’t have to be the builder, I could just be the architect that way there is no conflict. And, in order for me to have a engineered set of plans drawn up I will need the City to do a soil test which is about $1,400.00. Council will look at the budget and review itemized plans from Mr. Renfro in the next meeting.
