The meeting was called to order in the Trustee's Conference Room at 7:15 P.M.
by Michael Tosto. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the proposed
Public Works Garage modifications recommended by Donohue and Associates. 0
The Director of Public works briefly summarized the report indicating that
the solutions to the Public works space problem ranged from $490,000 to
$4,400,000 depending on whether we choose to modify our existing facilities
or build new. The consultant had recommended Alternate A (modifications of
our existing buildings and the movement of our Vehicle Maintenance operations
to the West Garage) as a very workable and cost effective solution.
The Public Works staff was in agreement with the consultant's recommendation
and unanimously supports Alternate A.
Chairman Tosto suggested an alternate for consideration that was not included
in the report. Discussion centered on the possibility of moving Street Division
operations to the West Garage and leaving Vehicle Maintenance at the East Garage.
Public Works presented several different plans prepared in house showing that
this solution won't work well because of the physical and structural constraints
of the East Garage.
Chairman Tosto suggested the possible addition of butler buildings and a service
pit. He also suggested that walls and partitions be kept to a minimum.
The Public Works Director stated that Alternate A was a conceptional plan and
the detailed design phase would finalize the specifics and possibility include
a butler building and a service pit.
The committee agreed that an optimum and long term solution to the Public Works
operating problems was needed.
The Public Works staff stated that Alternate A was the optimum solution utilizing
the two existing buildings and was developed to meet their needs for the fore-
seeable future.

The Public Works Director stated that if design commenced in the next few
months, construction could be completed by the end of 1986.
The committee unanimously agreed that Alternate A was the best plan. It is
the most cost effective long term solution to the storage and work space de-
ficiencies as well as the vehicle stacking, circulation and heating problems.
Chairman Tosto stated that he will recommend Village Board approval of
Alternate A at an estimated cost of $490,000, and also recommend that the
detailed design phase be authorized as soon as possible.
