RE: City Hall Design
The City Hall Committee met at the Family Pancake House on 9
September 1992 for a luncheon meeting. Members present were John
Clauson, Carolyn Powers and Jack Grable. Also Present was Larry
Curles.
Efforts have been made to find the Chevron offices responsible for
the former Chevron site. The telephone numbers available have not
been right. Two other parties have expressed an interest in this
site and the reported cost is about $300,000. Also, it would appear
that the site is smaller than the existing site at 216 Prospect
Street. The Committee is concentrating on a new City Hall at 216
Prospect Street.
The title company is having trouble clearing the title for the
garage at 560 Bay Street. The City Attorney may have to initiate a
quiet title action in court to clear the problem.
Construction of the fire station will be the City's primary effort
for 1993 and 1994. It is anticipated that the City will decide on
some basic building requirements in 1992. The architect will design
the building in 1993. The City will use 1994 to prepare for a bond
issue and construction shall be in 1995.
The Committee reviewed the space requirements, as provided by the
departments. Time only allowed a detailed look at the mayor and
police requirements. The following modifications or questions are
being considered:
1. Why does the administrative secretary area have a waiting
room for three people?
2. The police classroom for twenty people shall be available
to the rest of the staff and not be exclusive for police
activities.
3. The physical fitness room shall be deleted. Physical
fitness equipment can possibly be included in another
room.
4. A shower shall be installed in the men's room instead of
a dedicated locker room.
5. A shower shall be installed in the ladies room instead of
a dedicated locker room. The ladies room shall have more
fixtures than the one toilet.
6. The Mayor's office should be of similar size to that of
the Bremerton's Mayor. The office should be large enough
for a desk, sofa and two chairs to allow for a
comfortable meeting place.
7. A conference room large enough for 12 people should be
near the Mayor's office.
8. Another unspecified office should be near the Mayor's
office in case the City has a full time administrator.
The Committee was not able to Discuss parking at this meeting.
Carolyn Powers will be out of town for a while. The Committee will
resume the work upon her return.
