Council Minutes of 1 1-16-2021 on it when he gets more information. Councilwoman Hemann asked what the dollar value is on the amount of the repairs. Director Gareau said he did not have one off the top of his head as it is dealing with structural repairs to the garage as well as the skin of the building being redone. He said it would be several hundred thousand dollars and he didn't think it exceeded a million dollars at this point, but the full scope of repairs hasn't been submitted yet. The City knows what it wants them to do, but if they were going to do what was asked to be done, it wouldn't be talked about five years after we asked them to. He said, once Rocky River found out there was a case downtown, they .kind of deferred to downtown and that's not what the City had hoped would happen. The City had hoped the criminal process could go at the same time dealing with the civil action downtown. Councilwoman Hemann asked why it wouldn't all be handled downtown. Director Gareau said the criminal case predates the civil case by four years. The City isn't precluded from pursuing both remedies. The City wants to just get the problems fixed. Councilwoman Hemann asked why the building has not been closed. Director Gareau said the City has not moved to close the entire building at this time. Councilwoman Hemann asked why not as it's been five years. Director Gareau said condemning the building is a pretty drastic measure. Councilwoman Hemann said she gets pretty drastic complaints. Director Gareau said the City has made the decision not to condemn the building in conjunction with working with Mr. Grusenmeyer. Councilwoman Hemann said the elevator being broken for three years was a problem. Director Gareau said he did not know anything about an elevator being broken for three years. Director of Finance Copfer: • Ordinance 2021-69 is the temporary budget for 2022. It's a third of the budget and gives the City enough spending to get the City through the end of March if it takes that long to pass the permanent budget. The new administration will be presenting a new detailed budget in February of 2022 that must be passed by March 31, 2022. There will be budget hearings during that time.
