a. Comprehensive Needs Report – Municipal Building
Director Sprague explained he has been digging into this, and he is aware there has been some
work done with consultants for a comprehensive needs report for the building in the past. He
explained he found out today either the report isn’t done or was never completed by the
consultant. He explained this came to us through our insurance company. He explained he has
to check with the insurance company to see if they still have a copy of this information. He
explained within a couple of weeks he will be able to give a reasonable update memo to the
Council with needs that the staff in the building know about as well as things he has seen in his
