I understand this issue is coming before <br /> Kathy W'l r <br /> Pre sident the council on the consent calendar for your July 9 meeting. <br /> President <br /> Debra Delegato <br /> Vice President This land was originally donated in 1995 with the understanding that we <br /> Paul Theisen would vacate our current city -owned site within five years. Since that time we <br /> Treasurer have obtained a Conditional Use Permit (a process we had to go through twice) <br /> Cheri Peterson for the site, contracts for the land transfer and parking lot, acquired our architect <br /> Secretary and general contractor, and completed the architectural drawings, all a process <br /> Mike Garling taking the first several years. <br /> Greg Gerot <br /> Bill Hoffman Unfortunately it has taken three years to complete the building permit <br /> Susan Williams process for this project. Our first set of drawings for the building had to be <br /> Cam Committee: substantially revised by our architect when the city staff learned that the <br /> Debra Delegato, chair occupancy code for the infant /toddler section was being interpreted differently <br /> McCabe Investments by the state. After the revised drawings were submitted it was then learned that <br /> Bill McCabe, chair <br /> McCabe Investments there were serious water issues on the donated site. The water flow test for the <br /> Micheal Roberts site came in extremely low and for some time jeopardized the possibility of even <br /> Gale Roberts Co.. Inc. being able to build on that site. The City, EWEB, CSI, NAWIC, and others <br /> Lynn Daniels Anderson worked together to help resolve the code changes and interpretations as well as <br /> Community Volunteer <br /> the water flow issues, which have caused the project to extend beyond its <br /> Diane Dugan <br /> Community Volunteer original timeline. We received building permits in October of 2000 after this <br /> Steve Gunn three -year process. <br /> Construction Focus <br /> Paul Theisen We would have met our original timeline if the building permit process <br /> 2G Construction <br /> Robin Langkamp had been completed within a typical timeline. We've met the city's <br /> Sehopfs Twin Oaks BIbs.Supply requirements in all other areas and are asking that the council reaffirm the <br /> Greg Gerot agreements made between the City and Child Care Inc. in 1995. <br /> Edward Jones <br /> Bill Northwest Retirem We have met the requirements set by the City to reach 80% of our <br /> Mike Garling construction funding before groundbreaking.
