CITY HALL EXPANSION i PROPOSAL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY · .[ '1' In an effort to make City government more efficient and to facilitate growth, staff was asked to develop alternative proposals to consolidate, the various City buildings into one I central location. Currently, City services are housed in several different buildings : ~ including existing City Hall and City Hall Annex located at 1501 Truxtun Avenue, the Police Department located at 1601 Truxtun Avenue, Development Services located at I , 1715 Chester Avenue, Economic and Community Development located at 515 Truxtun '. · Avenue, Recreation and Parks at 4101 Truxtun Avenue and the Water Department located at 1000 Buena Vista Road. Excluded from this list is the .Fire Department which ' is housed in a number of individual stations sites throughout the City and the Corporation Yard which houses various maintenance and operations functions. I Each of the aforementioned buildings contain public counter space, conference moms and othercommon wOrk areas that if consolidated could result in a much more efficient use of space. In addition, public convenience would be greatly enhanced by a central i~ location making it a truly "one stop" facility. For purposes of this report, space needs for growth ·in the Police Department will be facilitated through building additions to its existing facility. I The attached report proposes to consolidate six (6) buildings (City Hall, City Hall Annex, Development services, EDCD, Recreation and Parks and Water) into one central 'B location. Currently these building house 298 employees. It is anticipated that this w..~ number will grow to approximately 450 employees in 20 years. Space and facility needs, for a City Government facility that houses 450 employees equateS to I approximately 220,000 square feet of space and 700 parking spaces. Several alternatives were explored including rebuilding on the existing City Hall site with ~, a new larger building, building a new City Government District consistent with that envisioned in the Downtown Charrette process, constructing a City Hall complex with a · ' "campus style" arrangement, purchasing an additional building downtown· and .possibly ~ constructing a series of skybridge interconnections between the individual buildings and ~ acquiring the downtown Mercy Hospital site and converting it to City Hall. I The following report will outline each alternative including costs forland acquisition (if ..~.~ necessary), buildings and parking. !

This new structure would provide necessary parking for all City Hall and Police Department needs for the next 20 years. Alternate No. 1 would require all of existing departments utilizing the current City Hall complex to relocate for approximately 18 to 24 months. Therefore, costs assOciated with moving twice (to temporary facility and back) as well as lease costs for up to two years must be considered.
