Work Session

CITY OF MARSHALL WORK SESSION MINUTES Tuesday, December 10, 2024 The work session of the Common Council of the City of Marshall was held December 10, 2024, at City Hall, 344 West Main Street. The meeting was called to order at 4:00 PM by Mayor Robert Byrnes. In addition to Byrnes the following members were in attendance: Craig Schafer, Amanda Schroeder, James Lozinski, John Alcorn and See Moua-Leske. Absent: Steve Meister. Staff present included: Sharon Hanson, City Administrator; E.J. Moberg, Director of Administrative Services; Jason Anderson, Director of Public Works/City Engineer; Eric Hanson, Asst. City Engineer; Preston Stensrud, Park and Rec Supervisor; and Steven Anderson, City Clerk. Councilmember Schafer attended via interactive technology due to being out of state. Aquatic Center Update Administrator Hanson briefly introduced Stockwell Engineering and Contegrity Group Incorporated. David Locke of Stockwell Engineering reviewed the original design of the pool and add alternates. A floating lily pad and private shade structures were not included in the new proposed alternates. A majority of the alternates were to include piping for future expansion of the aquatic center. Hanson asked about the money that was donated specifically for the splashpad and if that request was included as part of the alternate bid. Hanson also asked for clarification on the number of lifeguards that would be needed since the amount of water would be reduced. Pete and Larry Filippi of Contegrity Group reviewed the budget and proposed schedule. Contegrity was estimating to seek advertisements of bids in late January of 2025. Lozinski questioned the amounts of the contingencies that were estimated and also wanted to know the amount to remove the old pool as it was not included in the new project. From the previous bid documents the removal of the old pool was estimated to be $350,000. Contegrity felt the timing of the bids would generate more interest and better bids. At 4:40 PM Mayor Byrnes adjourned the meeting. Attest: _________________________ _________________________ City Clerk Mayor
