Mayor Lien then spoke regarding his response to Councilmember Wilson's
thoughts about data centers last meeting. He clarified that he is not in support
of a moratorium due to:
1. Only applies for maximum of up to one (1) year
2. Current lawsuit will not be resolved until next June 2027, and no
development will occur on the land until that suit resolves
3. Moratorium would not apply to the Tract Development
4. It would give false hope to residents that Council and City Staff
could cancel the Tract Development
He stated he commits to the next three months of his term to having office hours
as place for people to come and feel heard. He addressed that the members of
the public have shared concerns that they are unable to speak at work sessions,
and the format of the public comment feels one-sided. He has requested City Staff
to create a Town Hall meeting(s) to have further discussions about this topic.

REGULAR COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO

Subject: Donation from Happy Harry's Furniture to the Rambling River Center
Meeting: Regular Council - Sep 08 2026
INTRODUCTION:
A donation was recently made to the Rambling River Center (RRC) by Happy Harry's
Furniture.
DISCUSSION:
A donation in the amount of $179.90 was recently made by Happy Harry's Furniture to the
RRC. The donation was made through a program created in 2011 in which a customer of
Happy Harry's Furniture can select a charity of their choice to receive a donation when
merchandise is purchased from the store. Then 10% from the sale to the customer is
donated to the charity. The RRC is one of the charities that can be selected by customers.
With these donations, Happy Harry's Furniture has donated a total of $19,470.29 to the RRC
since the program's inception. This partnership with Happy Harry's Furniture has been very
beneficial over the long term given the funds that have been donated to the RRC.
The donation has been deposited into the RRC Capital Improvement Fund to fund future
building improvements and/or purchase new equipment and furniture.
Staff will communicate the City's appreciation on behalf of the City Council to Happy
Harry's Furniture for their generous donation to the RRC.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Adopt Resolution 2026-071 Accepting a Donation of $179.90 from Happy Harry's Furniture

Subject: Contract with Kraus -Anderson Construction for Construction Manager at
Risk Services
Meeting: Regular Council - Sep 08 2026
INTRODUCTION:
The City Council authorized Staff to enter into contract development for Construction
Manager at Risk (CMaR) services with Kraus -Anderson Construction for the Police
Department Remodel & Expansion Project on August 17, 2026. Staff now seeks Council
approval of that contract.
DISCUSSION:
The City initiated a selection process to identify a qualifications -based Construction
Manager at Risk (CMAR) for the Police Department Expansion and Remodel Project in
June. That process, aided by project architect BKV Group, included solicitation,
evaluation, interviews, and selection process. That process ultimately resulted in the
recommendation of Kraus -Anderson Construction, which was presented to Council during
the August 17 City Council meeting.
As Construction Manager at Risk, Kraus -Anderson will work with the City, BKV Group, and
the project team during design development to provide preconstruction services, cost
estimating, constructability reviews, scheduling, value analysis, and coordination. During
the construction phase, Kraus -Anderson will be responsible for all construction related
activities including but not limited to quality control, subcontractor management and
scheduling, project and site coordination, risk management, and project communication.
The City Attorney is reviewing the contract documents, and this item will be updated to
include those documents upon completion of review.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Kraus -Anderson's services are split between preconstruction services and construction
management.
Page 53 of 59
Preconstruction Services costs are $19,500 following a $15,280 discount upon execution of
the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP).
Construction Management fee will be 1.3% of the project's Guaranteed Maximum Price.
For an estimated $16 million GMP, the fee would be $208,000.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve the AIA Owner/Construction Manager as Constructor Agreement between the
City of Farmington and Kraus -Anderson Construction Company for Construction Manager
at Risk services for the Police Department Remodel & Expansion Project and authorize the
Mayor and City Clerk to execute the agreement.
