Summary
City operations reported completion of an ADA ramp and stairwell work at City Hall, ongoing interior renovations and an AV-room asbestos finding that will be removed within hours next Wednesday; officials said work will not delay project schedule.
City operations staff updated the council on City Hall renovations, reporting completion of a new ADA-compliant ramp, finished stairwell C work, installed drop ceilings and lighting, and ongoing handrail replacements. Operations said the project is on track for public use ahead of local events and emphasized efforts to save money where possible.
Operations also reported discovery of a small piece of asbestos in the AV room behind the council chambers; staff have contracted an abatement company and scheduled removal for Wednesday morning, with crews estimating the work should take only a few hours and not delay overall progress. "We did discover 1 more piece of asbestos that needs to be taken out," Operations said, and added the removal will be handled promptly.
