280 Mr. Benest continued it is now time for the Cit Council City c to select one of three design concepts for the renovation, and once the Council has approved one of these concepts, Staff will make certain cost decisions and Eckhardt & Associates will prepare the final plans and specifica- tions for the installation and renovation work, which will be completed by the end of the fiscal year. Mr. Benest concluded Staff recommends the City Council select one of the concepts and authorize Eckhardt & Associates to proceed with the project. Chelo Eckhardt, Secretary/Treasurer of Consuelo Eckhardt Associates, Inc., introduced to those present Consuelo Eckhardt, President of their firm, and Ann Paquin, Design Consultant. Miss Eckhardt said to keep in mind these are design concepts and the next phase may have changes. Miss Eckhardt stated the Police lobby is not included in these plans. Miss Eckhardt then reviewed each design concept and color scheme, advis- ing that No. 1 is a Classic Contemporary Scheme, which would be very ade- quate and complement the architecture of our building; No. 2 is a Tradi- tional Contemporary Scheme, with warmer colors and concept; and No. 3 is a Progressive Scheme, a new concept, very modern and very 1801s. Miss Ann Paquin then outlined the materials, patterns, textures, etc., to be used, advising the same type of materials will be utilized through- out, but with different textures. Miss Paquin advised the carpeting will have a ten year warranty and the upholstery a five year warranty. Miss Paquin stated they are recommending the use of tile in the high traffic areas, the lobby and corridors, for better wear and durability, and vinyl wall coverings. Miss Paquin said the Council Chambers will have attractive upholstered wall coverings, which will help to muffle noise and echoes, and offer better acoustics for the Chambers. Mrs. Consuelo Eckhardt stated the Council will be very pleased with any of the three designs they might choose, as they will all blend well with the architectural design of the building, and will adapt to City,Hall very well. Miss Eckhardt then stated they are recommending Concept No. 1, as this plan fits the architectural design of the building the best, it is the most cost-effective, and the least expensive of the three plans. Discussion then followed regarding the different materials to be used, the type of chairs for the Council Chambers, and the P.A. system. Moved by Councilman Rios, seconded by Councilwoman Cisneros, selecting and approving Design Concept No. 1 as presented, and authorizing Eck- hardt & Associates to proceed with the project.
