RE: Public toilet/comfort station design on lakefront
The purpose of this report is to provide you with current
information on the subject matter.
$23 , 400 was approved in the 1995/96 FY budget to construct a
comfort station (public rest room) at the lakefront.
In July 1995 the Commission selected a preferred site for
the facility. It was also suggested that a pre-fabricated
facility might be considered similar to those used in parks
nationwide. In researching this possibility I learned the
buildings would exceed the money budgeted. It was also felt
that the facility should blend with the Municipal Complex
design.
November 7, 1995, the Commission unanimously approved an
agreement with Mr. Jim Swickerath, A. I .A. , to provide
architectural design services for the rest room facility
near the Municipal Complex on Starke Lake. Attached are two
suggested designs submitted by Mr. Swickerath along with
cost estimates prepared by Associated Cost Engineers, Inc.
(for study only. )
Mr. Swickerath's presentation shows a design that would not
only be functional, but would blend nicely with the
municipal complex. Mr. Swickerath' s projections range from
$54, 000 to $62 , 000. These amounts also exceed budgeted
funds. Mr. Swickerath will be present at the June 18
meeting to answer any questions you might have.
A breakdown of the money budgeted for this project is
attached.

The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
Suggested alternatives for the commission to consider would
be:
1. Delay the project at this time and budget
additional funds in the 1996/97 budget in order to erect
either a facility as presented by Mr. Swickerath, or
a pre-fabricated building.
2 . Use funds from the General Government
Contingency to make up the difference in money budgeted
and the shortfall. Recent phone conversations
indicate the current price for a pre-fabricated
facility would be as much as $34, 000. I feel up to
$15, 000 would be needed to complete the project.
Finally, I have been advised this date by Mr. Corwin, Public
Works Director, that we may be able to acquire a
modular bathroom building from Orlando Utilities, at no
cost, and with a portion of the remaining $19, 000 may be
able to adapt to our use. More information on this facility
will be forthcoming within the next two weeks.
I respectfully submit this report and request your
direction.
