MINUTES `
1. Roll Call of Committee members. Meeting called to order at 4:30 PM. Clerk called the
roll and there was a sufficient quorum.
2. Review and Approval of May 22, 2018 Minutes. Motion by Ron Hogan to approve the
Minutes of May 22, 2018, seconded by Ryan O’Malley. Minutes of May 22, 2018 were
approved unanimously.
3. Schedule Updates. Next week there are meetings scheduled on June 5th and 7th
between Department Heads and Flansburgh to show layouts of furniture and fixtures.
Flansburgh will develop a model representing the first two floors to present to the
Committee at the June 12th MBC meeting. The goal is to set the materials and
demonstrate concept of the layout so that we can finalize schematic design and obtain a
cost estimate to make sure we are on track. Discussion to add an area for bike racks to
accommodate employees.
4. Continued Discussion on Design Development.
a. 1st Floor- Flansburgh worked to refine two schemes for this floor based on the
last meeting; both options are roughly the same size, the main difference being
the orientation of the Council platform. Discussion about the wall in front of the
windows (on Pleasant Street) being retractable to allow for art to be displayed
most of the time but have the option to retract the wall to provide additional
space. Option B is the preferred layout of the Committee. In large conference
room on left, added cabinetry and a sink that can be used for events that may
require light catering. Also added power to allow for the ability to use room for
an emergency call center.
b. 2nd Floor – Director and staff areas were swapped in Clerk’s office to allow for
more flexibility.
c. 3rd floor – No changes.
d. 4th Floor – Still refining the changes from the last meeting to the Law Office and
City Council office.
e. 5th Floor – No changes.
5. New Business. No new business.
6. Next Steps. Architects to meet with Department Heads next week.
7. Next Meeting: June 12, 2018 at 3:30 PM.
Motion to adjourn at 5:09 PM by Eric Rubin and seconded by Debbie. All in favor, meeting
adjourned.
