These are the main repairs that should be made to the tower and not listed in any order of priority. Engineering Resource Assoc. and their sub-consultants are working on figuring out which repairs need to be done in conjunction with others to be the most efficient and cost effective, that is, which work should be bid out together if the City Council decides to move forward with the rehabilitation. The alternatives to rehabilitate the tower will be included in the final report as well as the estimated cost for each alternative. Novack shared that funds have been included in the 2019 CIP budget for engineering and the 2020 CIP budget for the repairs. The funds requested are the worst-case scenario and are only place holders until final recommendations have been made. 2.
