CENTRAL LIBRARY Council Chambers, 307 West Second Street, Austin, Texas Memorandum To: Mayor Cooksey called to order the special called meeting of the Council, noting the absence of Councilmember Shipman. CITY MANAGER REPORTS City Manager Carrasco told Council the MOC Site/ Warehouse District Feasibility Study of a Civic Center and Related Public Improvements report was not yet ready. Mr. Richard Ridings, Director of Public Works, presented the report on Consolidation of City Office Space. He described different options, said RFP's would be requested and three of those would be selected for final review. Mr. Ridings said the space would not be able to be "to-be-built" space because planning for City offices would begin March 2, 1987 with target date for space to be ready for occupancy on July 1, 1987. As Mr. Ridings went through the report page by page, Council asked him to delete the anti-lobbying section on page 21. When the report was complete, Mr. Paul Isham, City Attorney, told Council they should direct the City Manager to issue RFP's and bring back a ratifying resolution in October.
