CITY HALL GOAL
Goal: To improve the conditions of the
public buildings for community users and city
employees within a three-year timeframe.
Why a new City Hall?
Inadequate community
meeting rooms and
counter space.
40% of City Hall is
unusable due to safety
concerns.
Ceiling collapses
and roofing falls
on desk
Structural and energy
efficiencies and a safe staff
environment are needed.
Retrofit cost is 94% of new
construction cost and does
not achieve efficiencies.
