Council delays decisions after City Hall renovation estimate returns high

City Administrator Susan Robertson told the council that the architects' renovation proposal for City Hall returned at a higher cost than anticipated and that the architects provided a breakout by areas of work. Council members did not approve funding at the session; instead the Mayor asked members to come to the July 8 meeting prepared with a dollar figure they would be comfortable spending.

The transcript does not specify the dollar amounts for the architect estimate. Staff committed to supply a cost breakout and further information at the July 8 meeting so the council can evaluate trade-offs across renovation areas.
