Statement made by Alderman Meyer re New Municipal Bldg. attached hereto and made a part hereof. 9/4/73 Page two -A 46 I believe that increase in the projected cost of construction of the new City Hall from 1.2 million to over 1.6 million necessitates a re-examination of this issue. The new schedule calls for the sale of $3 million in general obligation bonds for the construction of the City Hall, Police Building, and the Parking Structure, $1.7 million allocated for the New Civic Center, with $800,000 and $250,000 for the Police Building and Parking Structure respectively. In this schedule there is almost no latitude if the cost of the Police Building and Parking Structure exceed the estimates. I seriously doubt, after seeing the inaccuracy of the estimated cost for the City Hall, that the Malice Building and the parking structure can be built for these estimated costs outlined above. I believe that a Police Building with its unique needs and design would be even more difficult to estimate accurately than the Civic Center which is basically an office building. This leads us to the necessity of knowing what this amount will be, or be faced with the distinct possibility of not being able to complete the Police Building and Parking Structure without looking for alternate methods of funding. I believe the Police Building should have top priority. When we speak of expanding city services in our community, upgrading of the police facilities is of primary importance. Because of the cost of the Municipal Building being more than anticipated, and the present schedule of general obligation Bond being close to our legal limit of non -referendum bonding authority, I believe that alternatives to the proposed City Hall Building be explored. The reduction of size of the new Civic Center has already been discussed. Our present City Hall was built in 1937, and is 36 years old. The total area of this building, including the police garage and excluding the basement is approximately 15,000 square feet. The four floors to be used by the city in the proposed new civic center is approximately 25,000 square feet. We are paying a handsome price for this additional space. Our present City Hall is a structurally sound building which has not reached half of its life expectancy. The potential to refurbish the interior is enormous. To demolish this building or allow it go into disuse would be a tragic error. Additional space could be provided either by building on to the existing structure, or by adding two additional floors to the new Police Building providing 13,000 additional square feet. The police building could be built without any effect on the continuing function of the Department. After construction of Police Building was completed, police would completely vacate their existing facilities, leaving the contractors free to do all revamping, necessary to achieve a very functional office complex which would be done without disrupting any of the administrative functions of the city. When the city hall chambers were renovated half could be done at a time, so that normal court activities could be held and council business go on in that area which was not in the process of renovation. Our parking requirements would not be as great since we would be constructing only one building. Less land would be utilized for building structures, more on -grade spaces would be available or the open area could be used for a mall. In any event, any parking structure built would be smaller than presently planned. To sum up, by building a new Police Building and adding two floors which would provide an additional 13,000 square feet; revamping the existing city hall building, we could fill the needs of the city and could reduce the over- all cost by as much as one million dollars. I share Alderman Bolek's concern about the present plans for approaching the legal limit of 1% of the city's assessed valuation for non -referendum bonds. A statement was made that the city does not have any projects contemplated in the near future to worry about this. I would like to remind the council that plans for a new fire station off of Central Road to service the north and west part of the city have already been discussed and the need determined. Funds for land acquisition, construction, and equiping a fire station will be well over $500,000. I further believe that this points to the serious need for adopting a.. City Comprehensive Plan, so that future facilities, and land acquisitions be known so that priorities can be set, and projected costs of 9/4/73 47 Page two -B these improvements can be taken into consideration as we plan our future financial obligations. In conclusion, I would like to touch briefly on the cost to the individual homeowner of the $3,000,000 General Obligation Bonds. Considering the term to be 15 years or to 1988, the amount is approximately 87N per $1,000 of assessed valuation. Taking my tax bill, my equalized valuation is $15,300 or about $13 per year. Last year, my total Des Plaines portion was $130.55. This, therefore, would constitute about a 8-10o increase in my total City of Des Plaines Real Estate Tax contribution. This is not a small amount. Even though the Home Rule permits the City indebt itself to 1% of its assessed valuation, without referendum, I believe the city council should be as prudent as possible in spending these funds. The purpose of this presentation is to suggest alternate plans to accomplish our goals, with as little additional burden as possible to the taxpayers of Des Plaines. Thank you for your time and attention. s/s Gerald J. Meyer Alderman, 7th Ward 1 Aebi/ 1 9/4/73 Page three 48 DEMOLITION Moved by Szabo, seconded by..
