[0:10] Happy summer everybody. It's been a

[0:11] while since we've checked in with you,

[0:13] but as you can tell from the building

[0:14] behind me, we've made a lot of progress

[0:16] on our new civic campus building. We

[0:17] can't wait to welcome you into it later

[0:19] this fall. First, we're going to give

[0:21] you an update on phase two, which will

[0:22] be completed summer of 2026. and then

[0:25] we'll take you inside this building to

[0:27] show you what's been done and what's

[0:28] going to continue to be done over these

[0:30] next few weeks and months. So, if you

[0:31] walked around city hall lately, you

[0:33] noticed that there's a lot of fencing, a

[0:35] lot of routes that are no longer open to

[0:37] the public. That's because phase two of

[0:39] the Civic Campus project is slowly

[0:41] getting underway. Um, tell us a little

[0:43] bit about what's happening on this stage

[0:44] of the project.

[0:45] So, right now, we've mobilized the

[0:47] fencing to the the uh north side of the

[0:50] project. This is really going to start

[0:51] to to kick off that pavilion building,

[0:55] the stage structure, and really that

[0:56] park aspect of this project with all of

[0:58] the site work and sidewalks and

[1:01] obviously the the fencing we we put up

[1:03] to create a safe spot for everyone and

[1:05] uh working towards that part of the

[1:07] project, wrapping up city hall.

[1:10] [Music]

[1:28] So, I think the last time we were here

[1:29] was about 2 months ago. Um, so what's

[1:32] happened on the exterior of the building

[1:33] since then? the exterior of the

[1:35] building, the glass and glazing, the

[1:36] storefront and curve walls have been

[1:38] going in. Uh basically wrapping around

[1:40] the building, hit heading around the uh

[1:42] west side there. And then uh the

[1:44] background here, you can see that

[1:45] they're kind of pouring the the entrance

[1:47] to the uh parking garage. Uh they just

[1:50] poured the trench drain in. Uh it does

[1:51] have snow melt in it, so it's been a

[1:53] pretty big pretty big task so far to get

[1:56] done this spring through this summer.

[1:59] Couple of exterior highlights coming up

[2:02] will be uh the solar panels and the

[2:04] clock winds will be in August. The clock

[2:07] will be at the end of this month. Uh

[2:08] starting the 28th they'll be putting the

[2:10] scaffolding up to put in the uh clock.

[2:13] So uh as a community you'll see that

[2:15] starting here at the end of this month.

[2:17] So this side this side the brick is

[2:19] brick and stone have all been washed. Uh

[2:21] we still got a couple of metal panels we

[2:23] got to put in and obviously some of the

[2:25] entrances, but uh this side as far as

[2:28] the finishes, they're pretty much

[2:29] complete. So then you can see the glass

[2:31] is starting to go in and and pretty much

[2:33] wrapping up. They've got one last frame

[2:34] to complete on the glass for the council

[2:36] chambers and then it'll just be wrapping

[2:39] the rest of the building with the metal

[2:40] panels.

[2:41] All right, we're inside now. What's

[2:42] happened recently in here and what are

[2:44] you guys going to be working on in the

[2:46] coming weeks and months? So, what we've

[2:48] gone through recently is we we've

[2:50] started the finishes. Uh behind me, you

[2:52] can see the ceiling grid is is gone in

[2:55] the upper ceiling grid. We've been

[2:56] putting in the specially slat one

[2:58] ceiling. It's a wood grain kind of uh

[3:00] ceiling ceiling grid or ceiling tile. Uh

[3:03] startup has happened for all the

[3:05] mechanical equipment. The feature stair

[3:07] has gone in. We're putting the railings

[3:09] on. Uh and then it's just the the rest

[3:11] of the finishes. This is one of the

[3:14] highlights of the building, our new

[3:15] council chambers where members of the

[3:17] public will come and obviously it's

[3:18] where our city council meetings will be

[3:20] held. What have you guys accomplished

[3:22] here recently and what's left to do? So,

[3:24] recently all the stone work has gone in.

[3:26] Um the rough ends in the ceiling, all of

[3:29] that has gone in and right now they're

[3:31] working on putting all the track in for

[3:33] the slat one ceilings. It's kind of like

[3:35] a specialty ceiling that's going to

[3:37] really make this place pop. Um, coming

[3:40] up next, we'll get the dies put in, wood

[3:42] paneling going along that wall. Um, all

[3:44] of that will go in and basically work

[3:47] our way out of this room. We're here in

[3:49] the senior center, one of the new

[3:50] buildings. Amazing highlights. We can't

[3:52] wait to welcome our 55 plus community

[3:54] here um in this space. What's still left

[3:57] to do? What can we look forward to the

[3:58] next month or so? Well, the fellas are

[4:00] going to be working on the ceiling. Uh,

[4:02] same thing as kind of that main area,

[4:04] the slat one ceiling. It's a feature

[4:06] finish. it it's going to look really

[4:08] beautiful. Um the fireplace is all ready

[4:11] to go. We've just got to put in a couple

[4:13] more finishes there and and really it's

[4:15] just going to be some returns and and

[4:17] carpet.

[4:32] Heat. Heat.
