Hurricane City Campus (new city hall and police station)
Hurricane plans a new city hall and a new police station, which the city calls its City Campus. On Oct. 1 the council, sitting as the Municipal Building Authority, voted unanimously to authorize lease revenue bonds of not more than $27 million for the project, and the council then approved the lease and ground-lease documents. The amount is a cap: City Manager Kaden DeMille said he expects the project to cost less, that the city has about $17 million saved plus proceeds from selling the current police station, and that he expects to put about half down. He said the city will not raise taxes for it. He gave costs of $494 a square foot for city hall and $451 for the police station, with a 9% contractor contingency and an additional 8% city contingency. The Planning Commission approved the preliminary site plan, and groundwork on the police station could begin around November. Two public hearings on the financing are planned for the first November meeting. The current city hall would be remodeled for the court.

Municipal Building Authority: issue not more than $27,000,000 of Series 2026 lease revenue bonds
Approved · 6-0
The authority will issue the bonds to finance a new police station, a new city hall and related improvements, fund a reserve and pay issuance costs. Delegated officers may accept final terms within set parameters; the council gets the final vote. Bond counsel recommended raising the maximum interest rate to 6.5 percent. City Manager DeMille said the amount is a ceiling and the actual borrowing may be less, that the city has $17 million in savings plus proceeds from selling the current police station, and that existing building payments will roll into the new debt as they are paid off.
