Council weighs $572,000 City Hall remodel; member suggests replacement
Summary
An architectural estimate to remodel City Hall at $572,000 prompted Council Member Don Imhoff to suggest tearing down the old building and constructing a new, handicap‑accessible structure that preserves the front façade; no formal decision was made.
Council members discussed an architectural estimate of $572,000 to remodel City Hall after BG Consultants completed a report. Brian Foster of BG Consultants presented the estimate to council.
Council Member Don Imhoff questioned the cost and suggested an alternative: demolish the existing building, preserve the front façade and construct a new, handicap‑accessible building. "A half million dollars was a lot of money to put into the existing building," Imhoff said.
Council did not take a formal vote on this matter during the Jan. 3 meeting; staff will carry the discussion forward as part of facility planning and capital budgeting. Further study and cost comparisons were not specified in the minutes.
Next steps: staff and consultants will provide additional information to council for future consideration of City Hall improvements or replacement.
