- What: renovation of the first floor of City Hall to put public-facing services in the lobby and improve security, following a 2022 security risk assessment.
- Where it stands: presented at the 2026-10-08 work session; the $547,698 construction contract with the Daniel Company (just over $630,000 with contingency, within a $2.6 million capital project) was on the October 19 agenda.
- Next: construction expected January to March 2027; staff to bring back recommendations on public access to the second floor.
The project
- Moves the development services center to the lobby, adds a larger security operations suite, a family restroom, a lactation room, a touchdown office and a badge-controlled door separating the lobby from staff offices.
- Water billing moves temporarily to the old development services space; one exit corridor is closed during construction (fire marshal approved); disruptive work happens after hours.
- The vacated space will be part of a wider space-planning study.
Council questions
- Baker asked about the vacated space; Mayor Pro Tem Caballero asked about keeping community gathering space and locking the elevator lobbies; Burris asked how badge-controlled elevators work for Thursday public meetings. Staff said badge readers are being installed and escorts are possible; the manager asked the council for guidance on second-floor public access (retreat or procedures committee).
