Legislative History: House: At the April 12, 2011 City Council Meeting, the City Council authorized the City Manager to negotiate a Purchase Agreement with 901 11`" Avenue NW. The purchase agreement was signed and a closing of the property is scheduled for June 14, 2011. Vermont Park Shelter: At the February 2, 2011 PREC Meeting, staff informed the commission of the possibility of demolishing the shelter. They were in support of this action. Financial Impact: House: It is estimated the demolition will cost between$10,000 and$20,000. These costs were included in the Feasibility Study for the 2011 Street Reconstruction Project. Vermont Park Shelter: It is estimated the demolition will cost between$5,000 and $10,000. This shelter is in poor condition and will require a new roof, siding, and windows at an estimated cost of up to $70,000. Explanation: The City of New Brighton is requesting quotations for demolition of two city structures. One structure is a single family residential house built in 1962 and the other is a park shelter built in 1976. The house is located at 901 11`t' Avenue NW and will be vacated after June 15, 2011. The park shelter located at 150 1st Avenue SE is currently not in use. Once a Contractor has been selected by the City, the Contractor will be required to acquire all necessary permits with Ramsey County and the City of New Brighton. Prior to commencing demolition, the Contractor will be required to perform the abatement of hazardous substances and materials and allow time for public safety personnel (fire,police,rescue)to train in the abated buildings. Training will include partial burns of the structures. After the specified training period dates, the Contractor will demolish the building and restore the site. Vermont Park Shelter: The shelter was last rented in 2006. Since 2003 there have only been 4 rentals (1 in 2004, 2 in 2005 & 1 in 2006); resulting in a total of$10 in revenue. The City had an ice rink at the park (estimated last year of flooding was 2002) and has not staffed the rink for at least the last 15 years. The replacement of the shelter is not included in the Parks non-fleet capital plan since there is no intention to replace or to renovate. When the four new neighborhood centers were built, residents asked if money would be set aside for replacing the old park shelter; it was discussed that the neighborhood centers would be the new community use areas and the City would not reinvest in the old park shelter areas and take them down when they fell into disrepair. Also, the building is not open for restroom use (for soccer, etc, as the water is shut off). A satellite is put on this site from spring thru fall.
