OTHER 2, Structural Report for 215 S. Lincoln Street (Historic Fire House)
CONSIDERATIONS:
(Coned) Director West reported that staff developed a request for qualifications (RFQ) for
structural analysis of the structure located at 215 S. Lincoln. Swenson Say Faget

engineering assessment of the building. Four options were made available for
Council including consideration that included providing costs for future restoration,
rehabilitation, or remodel actions for this property. Council discussion followed.
Councilmember Nelson reported that the Real Estate Committee (REC) discussed
this issue thoroughly and the assessment is not for the sole purpose of rehabilitating
the building, but also to determine if it should be demolished, or if it could qualify
for grants.

accepting a grant and how that could obligate the City in many ways. Council
discussion followed.

Authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services contract with SSF for
