CITY HALL UPDATE

Following approximately six to eight weeks of meetings with the City’s Architect, the City’s Building Design Committee did transmit to the full City Council on Tuesday, October 14th, 2008 a final Schematic Design for the new City Hall Facility. The recommended Schematic Design contains a building footprint of approximately 12,000 square feet, including a main service level that will house all City departments and will also include a lower level walkout containing police parking, locker rooms and secure records/evidence storage areas. The new City Hall Facility will

be located on the current site, but will be placed just north of the current building.

Additional aspects of the building include the use of a rotunda-style entryway that will, beyond providing a unique design, foster the most efficient delivery of public services as well as introducing significant natural light into the building. Lastly, the project includes a needed addition to Public Works Garage area, effectively doubling such space.

It is anticipated that the City Council, as it now enters into full Design Development, will additionally implement numerous energy efficiencies including the possible use of

geo-thermal heating and cooling systems that will save operational dollars in the long-run. While there will likely be several small design changes, the overall total project is anticipated to have a maximum cost of approximately $6 million. Naturally, the City will work towards completing the project below this estimate and will be striving for the best mix of efficiencies, durability and architectural quality. The targeted “move-in” date is January/February 2010.
