Subject: City Hall Project Update
_____________________________________________________________________
PURPOSE
To review the City Hall Project, present updates and ask for feedback on several areas to help finalize
schematic design.
INFORMATION
At the November work session, Council met with Wold Architects and Engineers, the City’s project
consultants to review the results of a facility assessment. In January, after reviewing finances, Council
directed staff to move forward with the schematic design process for City Hall.
At tonight’s work session Wold will review the project, present updates made over the past few months,
and ask for feedback on several areas to help finalize schematic design.
Staff also would like to propose hiring a construction manager to assist with the process. A construction
manager was not previously included in project estimates.
FUTURE ACTION
As the schematic design process finishes, staff plans to come back at the May work session and talk
about financing the project and next steps. Next steps in the project would include approval of schematic
design, selecting a project timeline, hiring a construction manager, and design development.
