~~ ~ done to still accommodate ingress and egress in the structure as well as space layout and eleWator positions to go to the original design. For security reasons people get nervous with fewer options in parking ~ structures. It is best to take all the elevators all the way down for this reasoning. Drawings of the 2nd and 3`d floor were also viewed. Discussions about the skyli~ht and op~nings on the 3`~ & 4`~ floors followed. We are also looking at an open area at the elevator lobby on the 2" , floor. If this can be done without increasing costs and it clears structural people, the county is okay with these options. Noise and security will be the two main issues to address regarding skylights and openings oh 3rd & 4w floors. , 4th floor discussions involved layout for conferencing center and space allocated for Transit offices. A couple of options are being considered. Transit requirements are at 16,150 gsf, and Board o~ Commissioners were approximately 8,000 gsf. Logistics need to be finalized for office layduts. Plans are underway by the architect to work with blending the outside of the building with su~roundings. The option of a roof terrace was discussed and possibiliTy of not having a tenace with access.i All of these factors will need to be incorporated in Curt's GMP and will influence how Pence Kelly will l~id the project. Architect will be supplying drawings to Curt to help in the GMP's preparation. ', Curt had two issues to address, de-watering and street scape. The de-watering portion will n~ed to be a part of the construction package if you want it designed before hand. The street scape is incl~ded in the budget and part of the project ($219,000). The city will be billed separately for this portion o~ the budget. The idea of settin~ up a day's retreat for all parties to meet and discuss the project was agreea~le to everyone. It was sug?ested that this wait to take place until after June l, when the new project manager will be on board. Our weekly meetings are a great concept and the dialogue is productive with our group working together. ~ Randy and RG are working to sort out Dan's budget. RG also announced that they have rece~ved their federal funds and the dollars are in the bank. Leonard said Dan's approach was from worki~g with retail space. County and Transit can't subsidize private space. We need to know methodology on ow to break out the different components. If we know real numbers on GMP for mall and real numbers f r office spaces, then County and Transit can work out a formula to split costs. FTA has given Transi the ability to do this. GMP can be done without being broken down by components and it becomes mor~ simplified for Pence Kelly. , Meeting adjourned. , ~
