New Downtown Village Hall Option to be Presented on Monday to City Council

At the April 3 meeting, the City Council requested additional information and research be collected related to the five existing Village Hall options.  As a result of this additional study, a “sixth option” has been developed for a concept using the existing Village Hall site in the historic downtown.

This new construction option consists of a new two-story, at-grade/no basement, 8,520 sq. ft. building (approximately 4,260 sq. ft. per floor).  The concept includes city hall offices, as well as a dual-purposed space for community events (with a caterer’s kitchen), and City Council Chambers.  The estimated cost of construction is $3,997,661, with an estimated tax impact of $201 for a $300,000 home.

At Monday’s meeting, the City Council will consider selecting a “preferred option” for Village Hall.  The selection would result in City staff developing an “action plan” for the implementation of the “preferred option.”  The action plan would be reviewed and considered at a future City Council meeting.  The City Council will be considering this new downtown option, as well as all the previously discussed options, at their meeting on Monday, April 17 at 7 pm.  For a link to the April 17 City Council Packet click here.
