Mulga approves $15,000 for due diligence on proposed $2.5–$3.2 million town hall
Summary
The Mulga Town Council voted May 5 to fund up to $15,000 for due diligence — including surveying and land development evaluation — for a proposed new town hall whose preliminary architect estimate is $2.5–$3.2 million.
The Mulga Town Council voted May 5 to authorize up to $15,000 to fund due diligence for a proposed new town hall after Mayor W. Keith Varner reported a preliminary architect estimate of $2.5–$3.2 million.
Councilmember Gage Kelley moved to approve the funds for land-development evaluation and surveying; Rachel Davis seconded. The motion passed on a roll-call vote with Seats 1–5 and the mayor voting yes.
Mayor Varner told the council he has met with one architect and scheduled a meeting next week with another to obtain pricing and further design input. He said the town also needs surveying of the proposed site before any final plan is selected. The motion explicitly authorized up to $15,000 for those due-diligence activities.
The mayor also noted that the town received an ADEM inspection report with a positive result during the meeting. The council adjourned after the vote; no timeline for the town hall project or a construction schedule was provided at the meeting.
Next steps the council recorded were the additional architect meeting and completion of required surveys and site evaluation before bringing more detailed cost estimates or a formal project proposal back to the council.
