Motion to spend $12,500 to vet relocating town hall to senior center fails for lack of second
Summary
Council considered adding an option to the municipal campus master plan that would relocate town hall to the senior center site and a motion to transfer $12,500 failed for lack of a second after councilors expressed cost and feasibility concerns.
Council debated whether to authorize a $12,500 transfer from the municipal facilities schematic design capital account into the municipal campus master‑plan account to vet "idea concept number 4," which would study relocating town hall to the senior center site. Some councilors said the request had appeared suddenly as an authorization to spend rather than the informational price estimate they expected. "I never had expected it to come back as a motion to spend this money," one councilor said during debate.
A motion to move $12,500 was made but the motion failed for lack of a second, and the council took no funding action. Several members said the senior center site was likely not feasible and argued for considering other, more cost‑effective options or phased approaches before authorizing additional study funds. The council returned to routine reports after declining to fund the vetting of that option at this meeting.
