A
B
Chairman
more
sami
committee
members,
I'm
greg
oke
finance
and
property
services,
and
today
we
hope
to
give
you
a
brief
update
on
the
public
service
building
project
and
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
I'm
joined
today
by
Eric
ammo
of
MSR
design,
Darren
app
and
Rob
Eldon
Dorf
of
Mortenson
construction,
Mary
Altman,
our
public
arted
manager,
Don
Baker,
and
visit
therian
of
Human
Resources,
who
will
be
leading
our
transition
management
into
the
new
building
throughout
the
project.
We
have
revisited
our
strategic
concept
to
make
sure
that
all
major
decisions
are
aligned
with
our
intended
outcomes.
B
It
has
been
our
standard
practice
to
follow
the
lead
standards
of
quality
and
environmental
stewardship
to
ensure
the
building
is
sustainable
and
healthy
for
our
occupants.
New
to
this
project
is
the
fit
well
program
that
places
a
higher
emphasis
on
employee
health
and
wellness.
We
are
also
benchmarking
this
building
on
energy
performance
with
the
SB
2030,
with
the
goal
of
an
alternate
compliance
path.
The
overall
carbon
footprint
will
be
reduced
by
installing
high
efficiency,
cooling,
heating
and
lighting
systems
and
being
further
reduced
by
investments
in
solar
production
on
the
roof
triple
pane
glass.
B
Some
of
the
features
in
the
building
from
an
architectural
standpoint,
one
of
our
design
goals,
was
to
create
connectivity
between
floors,
so
departments
could
work
more
collaboratively
and
informally
throughout
the
building.
These
features
spaces
are
referred
to
as
the
double-height
collaboration
spaces,
they're
shared
between
departments
and
connect
floors
throughout
the
building.
B
B
B
C
Mr.
chair
council
members,
there
are
a
number
of
public
art
works
planned
for
the
office
building,
including
this
suspended
kinetic
lobby
sculpture
by
Tristan
al-haddad,
which
will
move
in
connection
to
real
time.
Data
gathered
about
Minneapolis
climate
in
the
Minneapolis
sky.
There
are
also
artists,
design,
glass
pieces
on
the
tenth
floor
and
on
the
second
floor,
there
are
five
conference
room
murals
in
those
conference
rooms
that
Greg
just
pointed
out
to
you
on
the
employee
floors.
C
There
are
seven
illuminated,
elevator,
be
ceilings
and
we
are
also
restoring
the
Great
Seal
and
reinstalling
it
on
the
first
floor.
So
this
is
the
piece
current
conditions
by
Tristan
Alfa
dad.
As
I
said,
it
will
be
a
moving
kinetic
piece
and
it
moves
in
relationship
to
the
real-time
data
related
to
the
Minneapolis
climate
in
Minneapolis
sky.
A
D
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
Altman
I'm,
reminded
by
this
of
something
that
I
saw
in
the
City
of
London's
City
Hall,
where
they
also
have
a
moving
exhibit,
and
they
do
speak
about
different
aspects
of
air
pollution.
Climate
change,
that
sort
of
thing
and
an
important
component
of
that
is
also
education
as
to
what
is
being
measured.
And
what
that's
about.
Is
there
that
educational
component
to
this
particular
piece
from
Tristan
AlphaDog.
C
D
C
The
artist
design
class
pieces
are
to
promote
bird
safety.
The
first
piece
lines
of
flight
is
imagery
based
on
bird
flight.
Migration,
that
is
both
of
these
pieces
are
designed
by
futures.
North
Minneapolis
10th
floor
will
be
a
ceramic
frit
and
then
also
on
the
Skyway.
Connecting
the
Hennepin
County
Government
Center
to
the
new
building
will
be
a
vinyl
bird,
safe
design,
that
is,
about
human
migration.
That's
called
lines
of
flight
and
as
a
design
based
on
data
related
to
when
different
populations
of
people
came
to
Minnesota,
as
well
as
data
related
to
native
tribes.
C
The
employee
floors
will
feature
two
works,
elevator
lobby
ceilings
which
are
illuminate
and
conference
room
floors
they.
These
are
too
conceptual
designs,
one
four
by
Alexander
television,
aluminum,
lumen,
ated
fingerprints.
For
the
ninth
floor,
which
is
the
police
floor
and
a
piece
by
Erin
marks,
which
is
a
topo
map
of
the
Mississippi
River,
as
it
winds
through
Minneapolis
and
that's
by
Erin
marks.
There's
also
going
to
be
five
conference
room
murals.
C
C
We
have
a
public
art
committee
consisting
of
staff,
people
that
are
advising
the
project
and
there's
a
staff
person
from
each
of
the
departments
that
will
be
moving
into
the
building.
They've
been
doing.
Work
with
employees
and
meeting
with
employees
and
artists
have
also
been
working
with
the
community,
and
we
have
a
public
meeting
tomorrow
night
at
crown
roller
mill
at
6
o'clock,
where
some
of
the
artists
will
share
their
designs
and
the
mural
artists
will
be
doing
community
engagement
activities.
C
One
of
the
coolest
projects
that
is
connected
to
the
new
office
building
is
the
restoration
of
the
city's
seal,
which,
thanks
to
mr.
go
key,
has
been
preserved
and
the
city
has
been
storing
since
about
1990,
and
this
is
being
conserved
by
a
conservator
and
will
be
reinstalled
in
city
communications.
As
doing
a
detailed
video
about
the
conservation
and
reinstallation
processes,
as
well
as
information
about
what
is
a
city
seal
and
the
history
of
this
artifact.
E
Chair
and
members
of
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee
Means
Committee,
my
name
is
dawn
Baker.
This
is
Vince
therian,
we're
both
part
of
the
HR
department
and
we
are
helping
manage
change
around
the
new
building.
So
I'd
like
to
give
you
an
update
of
our
activities
and
our
progress
with
change
management.
I
wanted
to
just
present
our
overall
strategy
and
plan
and
describe
it
a
bit
to
you.
We
are
following
a
change.
E
Management
methodology
called
add
car,
which
is
an
acronym
that
stands
for
awareness,
desire,
knowledge
ability
and
reinforcement
or
rewards,
and,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
been
ramping
up
our
activities
really
since
2017
and
earlier
and
as
we
head
into
our
final
year
or
so
we'll
really
be
ramping.
These
activities
up
so
I'd
like
to
just
quickly
give
you
a
snapshot
of
some
recent
undertakings
that
we
have
been
doing
to
help
employees
develop
along
all
of
these
pieces
awareness
and
in
terms
of
why
we
need
this
change.
E
Why
we're
going
into
the
new
building
why
decisions
have
been
made,
etcetera
desire,
which
has
got
to
do
with
motivation,
and
you
would
think
wow
bright,
shiny,
new
building?
Where
would
be
the
issue
with
that,
but
many
of
our
employees
have
worked
in
more
closed
office
conditions
for
a
number
of
years,
higher
cubicle
walls
in
closed
offices
etc,
and
they
don't
really
have
the
perspective
or
the
context
to
know
that
you
know
many.
E
Other
people
are
successful
in
working
in
quite
different
ways
with
the
open
office
environment,
and
so
it's
really
helping
them
understand,
figure
out
what
those
challenges
are
going
to
be
and
then
making
some
ground
rules
and
some
other
kinds
of
agreements
amongst
their
teams,
so
that
they'll
be
able
to
do
this
and
manage
the
distractions
and
and
other
kinds
of
pieces
that
they
are
concerned
about.
So
that's
the
desire
piece
and
then
knowledge
and
ability
and
reinforcement,
obviously,
will
continue
to
be
planted
and
communicated
and
programmed
throughout.
E
But
those
are
the
two
big
hurdles
that
we
want
to
get
people
over
that
awareness
and
that
desire
and
that's
really
what
we've
been
focusing
on
so
far.
Let
me
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
our
recent
activities
most
recently.
Just
about
a
month
ago,
we
hosted
something
we
called
furniture
tours,
and
this
was
in
conjunction
with
Greg
and
his
team,
his
facilities
team
and
others
with
our
design
advisory
team
involved
too.
But
we
had
over.
E
Oh,
let's
see
200
people
over
250
people
attended
the
tours,
meaning
we
had
MOX
workstations
set
up
in
a
large
room
in
City
Hall,
so
that
folks
could
come
in
and
try
them
out
and
and
give
us
some
feedback.
We
gave
them
a
survey
to
respond
to
and
we
had
lots
and
lots
of
feedback.
Everybody
is
really
excited
about
the
sit
to
stand
workstations,
for
example,
but
people
are
concerned
about
increased
distractions
and
noise
with
the
more
the
lowered
cubicle
walls
and
the
more
open
piece
of
it.
E
E
Secondly,
we
have
developed,
we've
been
working
very
closely
with
Andrea
Larson
to
develop
a
plan
in
a
staffing
proposal,
because
we
need
to
transform
how
the
city
provides
service
to
the
public.
With
this
new
second
floor
public
service
space,
we
have
the
opportunity
to
transform
our
service
delivery
model
and
what
it
means
is
we'd
like
to
have
some
positions
that
would
be
capable
of
answering
simple
questions
and
performing
simple
transactions
on
the
behalf
of
a
number
of
departments
in
the
city
rather
than
having
each
one
belong
to
one
of
those
departments.
E
You
can
see
how
that
would
be
much
more
efficient
and
pleasing
to
the
public
that,
in
any
person
that
you
met
with,
could
mostly
help
you
and
then
be
able
to
treat
triage
you
to
a
subject
matter
expert
if
they
weren't
able
to
completely
transact
your
business.
That's
going
to
take
obviously
some
change
current
state
to
her
future
state,
and
so
we've
put
together
a
plan
and
some
steps
that
could
get
us
from
current
to
what
we're
envisioning
with
that.
E
Third,
we
just
got
ourselves
seated
with
some
of
our
project
champions
and
sponsors,
including
mr.
Gogi,
and
did
a
mid
kind
of
a
midstream
assessment.
How
are
we
doing
with
the
degree
of
sponsorship
of
the
project
with
how
it's
being
managed
and
also
how
we're
doing
with
the
change
piece?
And
it
yielded
a
number
of
insights?
E
We
really
do
need
to
step
up
the
visibility
of
the
champion
of
which
we're
seeing
is
Mark
ruff
and
he's
going
to
be
doing
a
little
bit
more
with
the
communication
and
making
him
more
visible
and
active
as
a
champion
as
we
go.
So
that's
an
exciting
development
and
we'll
be
making
some
other
adjustments
and
really
again
beefing
this
up
into
our
final
year
and
then
just
a
quick
example
of
how
we're
really
turning
the
corner
from
building
design
to
how
we
will
operate
in
the
new
building,
and
so
just
a
quick
example
of
that.
E
Is
we
devised
some
guidelines
for
how
people
could
use
the
quiet
rooms
that
are
being
planned
for
the
10th
floor
and
also
the
lactation
facilities
on
the
10th
floor
and
just
a
quick.
You
know,
example
of
what
we'll
need
to
do
from
both
a
macro
level
and
a
micro
level
to
help
people
be
able
to
again
operate
efficiently
and
effectively
in
their
new
environment.
B
I'm
sure,
at
times
it
seems
like
I'm
always
here
with
contracts
and
contract
amendments,
but
it
is
kind
of
the
nature
of
construction
management
as
an
advisor
delivery
model
in
the
size
of
this
project.
But
today,
here
our
summary
of
our
individual
bid
packages
as
we
refer
to
them,
and
these
are
contracts,
including
any
amendments
that
you've
approved
to
date,
and
we
are
still
have
approximately
half
of
our
construction
contingency
remaining
for
any
future
amendments
or
Corrections
that
we
need
to
make
and
design
or
construction.
As
we
move
forward
a.
B
Current
project
schedule
has
slipped
a
little
bit
and
we
are
looking
right
now
to
start
moving
people
in
on
the
lower
levels
of
floor.
Approximately
the
third
week
in
October,
we
are
working
with
Mortensen
to
look
at
things
that
we
may
be
able
to
accelerate
our
schedule.
The
cost
of
those
items
might
be
over
time,
working,
Saturdays
and
Sundays
and
so
forth,
and
we
will
weigh
those
against
the
cost
of
our
lease
basis.
B
F
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
one
of
the
things
that
I
remember
from
an
earlier
presentation
and
I
wanted
to
see
how
its
shaking
out
and
now
that
we're
seeing
how
departments
are
actually
envisioning
using
the
space
and
we're
sort
of
figuring
out
the
layouts
a
little
more.
How
much
unused
space
is
there
in
this
building,
or
are
we
really
building
something
that
we're
already
gonna
fill
right
up
before
we
account
for
any
potential
growth
in
the
future.
B
B
Also,
if
you
look
at
the
collaboration
stairs,
the
idea
is:
is
that
maybe
some
folks
that
work
together
from
different
departments
could
be
placed
more
on
the
floors
at
the
ends
where
you
can
work
together
and
capture
some
of
that
space?
If
one
department
needs
a
few
extra
seats
and
has
to
be
on
another
floor
as
far
as
the
efficiency
of
the
floor
print
I
mean
we
had
a
tight
site
and,
as
used
to
see
the
two
stair
towers
emerge
from
from
the
foundation,
and
we
have
an
open
office
concept.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Any
other
questions
from
the
committee.
I
think
you've
answered
everybody's
questions,
so
thank
you
very
much.
Mr.
Haines
you're
welcome
for
the
presentation
and
I
move
to
receive
on
the
foul
this
update
from
on
the
public
service
building
project,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye,
those
against,
and
that
is
done
and
we
have
concluded
our
business
for
today.
Thank
you
very
much.
