Summary

Council asked staff to return with a resolution to create an ad hoc committee to assess the City Hall auxiliary property; multiple past bids were rejected for cost and council emphasized the committee would only report back for council action.

Council member Torren asked the council to revisit prior studies and potential uses for the City Hall auxiliary building, noting four previous bid efforts had been rejected because estimated construction costs exceeded the city's budget. City staff summarized the history: prior alternatives and bids were rejected and the item had been tabled previously because of budget constraints.

Council directed staff to prepare a resolution forming an ad hoc committee to analyze the property footprint, operational needs, revenue opportunities and potential partnerships; the city attorney confirmed the committee would have no independent authority and would only report back to council with recommendations. Staff will return with a formal resolution at the next meeting.
