Explanation
This ordinance establishes a capital budget reservation for renovations and improvements in City Hall.
With the 2024 Council expansion, City Council has continued to repurpose office space within City Hall to accommodate additional staff and to renovate spaces requiring updates and improvements, including the replacement of furniture that is beyond its useful life. The City Hall 3rd floor has required extensive modifications to achieve functionality for Council’s needs, and it is anticipated that an additional slate of renovations will conclude Council’s construction needs for the foreseeable future.
This capital budget reservation will be used to contract with one or more vendors under universal term contract to perform small scale renovations and furniture acquisition for space needs.
Fiscal Impact: Funding is available within the Construction Management Capital Improvement Bond Fund.
Emergency action is requested in order to initiate renovations within the next several weeks.
