The city has priced repairs four times — the figure has grown from $81 million to more than $1 billion, depending on what gets counted and by whom. The cost of the alternative — moving out, leasing office space, selling a building that is expensive to demolish — has never been published at all. The council is pressing ahead anyway, in the middle of budget season.
The case for repairing the building the city already owns — and below, the meetings where you can say so.
Council decisions on City Hall have already happened at meetings most people never heard about. In June the council denied phased repairs 9–6, then voted 9–5 to spend $3 million searching for somewhere else to go. The city manager is due back with relocation options in late August — into the middle of budget season.
Fifteen people decide this — the fourteen district members and the mayor, and what each of them has done on the record so far.
