On al MOTION by Roering, and a second by Ruschke, approval was given for the minutes of the regular Borough Council Deering said based on comments he wanted to review what soft cost are concerning the project. He asked' Vukmanic from Crabtree to explain these costs. Vukmanic said the there are two costs, the construction cost which would be the brick and mortar and soft cost. Vukmanic said soft cost would be things like permitting, testing, fees, construction contingencies, furniture, equipment, financing ift the project was bonded, data and technology. Typically, percentage wise with this project soft costs are estimated at approximately 22%. Deering said they did do a pretty thorough analysis in reference to thel Florin Station and constructing a pole barn for the Parks Department. He said there are other needs than just constructing a pole  Building Ad Hoc Committee    barn for the Parks Department and he asked Vukmanic to touch on the topic. Vukmanic said they did at full survey of the property about 6 months ago. He said the word pole barn has been used but it really is a prefabricated metal building and itwould haver meet ASHRAE: standards in order tol be occupied and a simple' "pole! barn" will not dot that. Vukmanic reminded everyone thatt this project willl be at prevailing wages sincei itis a municipal project. Sowhenf folks are asking local contractors for quick pricing or estimates iti is not going to be accurate. Vukmanic talked about the Florin Station's square footage, the building itself along with the additions and the HVAC: system and everything that would need to be done in order to use it fort the Police Department. Vukmanic said youy would also have to bring the current building upt to ASHRAE standards, ADA standards, and IBC standards. Some other things you need to look at are potential zoning issues, stormwater due to increasing the impervious surface, and where youy would put the pole barn/prefabricated metal building. So once you look at all of this, the number Crabtree gave for that project is a valid number. Deering said there was a request to have a look at the current Main Street buildings structural capacity. Vukmanic and a structural engineer visited the Borough Office and did and assessment of the both basement areas of both sides of the building. He stated that the are under the Police Department is in fairly good shape except for some concrete falling over the years due to water infiltration. The other side oft the building however is a little concerning. Vukmanic said the numbers he gave for rehabbing the current building are also valid. The building needs more then just some new flooring and a coat of paint. He said once you start to alter a building depending on what needs tol be done ito could change from al level 1 alteration to al level 2 and at that pointy your need to bring things up to certain codes. Mayor Bradley stated that he would like to take a second look at building a new Police Station and doing minor upgrades to the current building. Pugliese spoke regarding the conditions oft the current of the building relating to the health and safety oft the employees. He said there are areas of black mold in the current building. He: also, said there is a good possibility ofe exposure to lead paint and probably asbestos underneath the current carpet that isl lifted. He stated hel has no issues with staying at this location, but he is concerned about the potential health risk to the On al MOTION by Youngerman, and a second by Roering, a request was made adopt Resolution 2023-02, a resolution appointing RETTEW Engineering as the Borough Engineer effective immediately.

Dale Murry 120 Farmington Wy., asked what the square footage oft the current Police Department is. He compared it to the Florin Station Building/Parks Department building. He asked what the soft cost are for the Grandview plan. He would like what the Mayor proposed for the Parks Department to be looked at again and get a cost to have the Police Department relocated there. He doesn't feel the original cost from Crabtree is accurate. Murry doesn't feel that the current Borough Ferne Silberman, 6301 Florin Ave., said she was in the Borough building back in 1950 when it was an Acme and barber shop before it became the Borough Office and Police Station. She said being al Realtor she has been in older homes and sees the health hazard like black mold which is dangerous and other health hazards. She said ify youy were to start doing work on the Borough Office you) will need to bring itl up to code. She said discussion of a new building started in 2009 and the longer you wait to build a new building the higher the cost is going to be. She thinks the Police Department definitely needs Rodney Wilbert, 119 David St., said maybe the Borough needs to do phase work on the current Borough Building.

Main St., asked if it is going to be standard procedure to discuss items coming before the Zoning Charles Groff, 211 Frank St., asked ifat traffic study was done at Grandview. He feels that it does not make sense to move New municipal complex: zoning hearing variance. With the parcel currently zoned conservation it has restriction.
