City staff shows progress on civic-center renovation; dispatch relocated while work continues
Summary
Staff presented photos and details of ongoing Civic Center renovations: the old boiler was removed, dispatch operations were moved because construction made continued 911 work infeasible, concrete reinforced for a new front facade, and the project remains on schedule and within budget with a tentative September move-in goal.
City staff presented progress updates and photos of the Civic Center renovation during the May 8 Moraine City Council meeting, showing removal of the old boiler, interior demolition, and work on the building’s front façade.
The presenter identified the large, obsolete boiler unit that has been dismantled and removed and said the new heating equipment will be significantly smaller. Staff showed images of the former dispatch area with exposed wiring and explained that continuing 911 dispatch operations amid construction proved infeasible, so dispatch activities were moved while work proceeds.
Staff described concrete reinforcement on the front of the building to support the new entrance and façade and said the project remains on schedule and on budget. Presenters noted access to the mailbox and water payment box will be maintained despite a fence around part of the site.
Council members asked about schedule and access; staff said the goal is to have the work ready around September, though the presentation emphasized a preference to report progress later rather than commit to an exact date. Staff also acknowledged the chief of police’s cooperation with the construction-related disruption to dispatch.
No formal action or contract award was taken at the meeting; the presentation served as an informational update to council and the public.
