Council approved pay application No. 6 and change order No. 4 for the Event Hub project after staff reported the building is approximately 50% complete and interior mechanical, electrical and plumbing work is underway.

Deputy city manager reported that masonry and carpentry work has enclosed the event hub for winter work, overhead garage doors are expected soon and the project team is installing mechanical systems while finishing exterior masonry veneer.
