The City Council voted unanimously to advance exploration of building a new home — for itself. A discussion that started in 2020 with a feasibility study to explore improvements to City Hall has entered a new chapter. On July 17, the council unanimously directed city staff to explore building a new City Hall with a cost ceiling of $30 million. A few weeks earlier, the council’s finance committee reviewed three concepts: a basic renovation of the existing building, with an estimated cost of $11.95 million; a heavy renovation, with an estimated cost of $21.77 million; and a two-story, new construction option, with an estimated cost of $30.77 million.
