1 I 1 Council Meeting Minutes April 14~ 1987 Page 6 At this point, without having any specifics, Locke suggested council direct staff to go ahead with preparing orders to comply with the original orders for action at the next council meeting. Beisswenger stated his new building is on next week's Planning Commission agenda; but would like to explore leasing space down- town and knows that would not be completed in thirty days. Williams asked if between now and when the item comes back to council, a list be made of what can be done practically; because, regardless of the outcome, it will take awhile until a new build- ing is built. Schmidt stated Items 9, 10, and 11 could be completed within 30 days, recognizing that some are in the process of being taken care of already. Schmidt further stated that before the 60-120 day deadlines, council should know whether or not a project is going in across the street from city hall; and whether or not Beisswen- ger Hardware will be building a new building on their site. Brandt asked if there is any information available as to the cost and difficulty of bringing matters into compliance; asked if Locke could come to the next council meeting with an indication of what would be involved to accomplish each item. Locke indicated the timing indicated is based on the relative seriousness and difficulty for correcting the problems; does not believe the city is in a position to be concerned about the own- er's cost to bring the building up to code. Gunderman expressed concern that the city not get involved in cost, but rather be concerned about safety. Schmidt stated a time period has been established and each one must be followed; however, to the extent that there might be a new building on the site or a commitment to lease downtown, there might be a stay in the proceedings (with regard to the electrical and other major cost items) if plans have been approved within that 60 day period. Benke is willing to adopt the staff recommendation and have a re- port back on May 12, 1987, by which time we should have more in- formation on the downtown development. Brandt would like to see faster action orr the three items identi- fied by Schmidt. Gunderman would encourage council to let staff and the owner work out a schedule of what is appropriate.
