Business Item

15-141
It is recommended the Board approve the Resolution Selecting Design Professional and Authorizing Agreement for the Required Services.
Minutes
- Dr. Fagan shared concerns about the original RFQ being for Transportation garage - need to be excessively transparent to community if changing location.
- Mr. Wecker mentioned his conceern as well but understands the option was only recently brought to our attention.
- Mrs. Meyer agreed that she has concerns with the entire process.
- Mr. Wecker mentioned that we have now looked at 5 buildings - slim pickings, garage was best option until alternative.
- Mr. Schneider asked Ron what the difference in the scope of work between the two options. Ron didn't think there was any difference - he has left a message for village to find out what building (additions and parking) limitations may be with property.
- Board had discussion about the alternative building. Positives and negatives of both buildings.
- Ms. Day mentioned to keep in mind that the original RFQ, recommendation and request for resolution was completed with only the transportation building in mind, no alternative was available until last Wednesday, 11/18/15. A phone call with attorney from Bricker and Eckler confirmed that resolution as it was created would have been fine because scope of work would not change, only the location. It was alright that the resolution was changed to be generic and not about transportation facility only.
- Dr. Fagan mentioned that a positive about alternative site is that should we outgrow it, we have a property that is able to be sold in Sunbury.
- Mrs. Meyer stated again that she is concerned about complete process, that t's were not crossed and i's were not dotted.
- Mr. Wecker stated that it is possible these are mistakes, not patterns.
- Mrs. Meyer said "I hope so".
- Mrs. Pollock clarified that the realtor showing the alternative property was not the listing realtor.
