Council approves $5,000 City Hall space-utilization study to guide future facility planning
Summary
Council authorized a Bureau Veritas space utilization study of City Hall (M8025) at a cost not to exceed $5,000; staff said the consultant will interview departments, tour the building and deliver a report in about 30–35 days.
The council approved a $5,000 proposal with Bureau Veritas to complete a space-utilization study of City Hall (motion M8025).
Facilities Manager Alex Brown said the study will document current space use, recommend how to better use existing space and project staffing and space needs over the next 10 years. "They'll tour the building, look at plans, interview each department, see what they're thinking for future staffing needs, future office needs, conference rooms, all the logistics of things," Brown said. He told council the consultant would begin work about two weeks after contract approval and deliver a report in roughly 30–35 days.
City Manager and staff said the study complements an earlier facilities assessment and will help match the building’s physical condition with spatial needs identified by departments. The consultants will include ADA and accessibility considerations when plans move to renovation.
