Lake, Buildings & Grounds Committee Jim Hartford, Chairman '~/~ Bill Phillips, of Phillips and Associates, gave a presentation on the selection of a proper roof for the rehabilitation of the Depot. The original alternate No. 1 to provide a clay the roofing system would be an add on of $69,000. The pre-finished metal techo the roofing system from Atlas International, Inc. would be an add on of $44,000. If the City does not have the funds to go with the clay tile, Mr. Phillips suggested the shingled roof in red, which would be guaranteed for 40 years. The add on cost would be $1500. Mr. Phillips had many reservations about the steel roof because it would take away from the historic character of the building and would be prone to fade and also prone to hail damage according to the manufacturer. It is only guaranteed for 25 years. Motion by Alderman Shores, second by Alderman May to refer the decision to council with no recommendation. Voice vote, motion carried. Motion by Alderman Shores, second by Alderman May to waive the building permit fee for the rehabilitation of the Depot. Voice vote, motion carried. Todd Jarnigan, President of Youth Acres Board, addressed the committee regarding the area that the board would like to continue sub leasing. He stated that the Board is in the process of re-incorporating. In his research he noted that a sub division came into effect in 1958 on the north corner of the property and the board would have no problem with re setting the property boundaries to eliminate this area from Youth Acres. He also stated that in 1967 an agreement was made with the owners of lots 1 through 9 and the Youth Acres Board, to lease the lake frontage to their properties from Youth Acres for $100 per year. However, the board did not present this to City Council for approval. Mr. Jarnigan asked for permission from the Council to sub lease the lake frontage of these 9 lots only, for $100 each per year. This money pays for the camp's liability insurance and general maintenance of the grounds. Motion by Alderman May, second by Alderman Shores to have City Attorney, Jim Elson, draw up a new lease with new boundaries and a provision included that will allow Youth Acres to sub lease the 91ake frontage lots and bring before the next Council Meeting. No other areas at the Youth Acres site will be sub leased. Voice vote, motion carried. Mayor Edwards appointed Alderman Hartford to serve as the Council's representative on the Youth Acres Board.
