Discussed
The city manager said Method Studios supplied details on rooms, office equipment and the kitchen, and staff will review options with the city engineer before returning to the council. Using bolts rather than welds on exposed metal beams could cut costs; Council Member Checketts said she prefers no exposed beams because of poor acoustics. Ash trees at Hogan Park were to be removed the next day because of ash borer, with some wood saved for the new building.
