The probably inability of the City to expanded the prsent City Hall enlargements on a <br />"piece meal" strategy. <br />4. The wisdom of the City constructing City Hall enlargements on a "piece meal" <br />strategy. <br />5. The high present day cost of a more permanent solution versus the present day space <br />needs, and available capital funds, about $200,000. <br />Council member Armstrong thought it would be difficult expanding the building because <br />the soils were bad and it was built on fill. Planner Dillerud asked that the Council let the <br />Facilities Committee make a recommendation with a deadline at the end of the year. The <br />Committee is leaning toward a new facility rather than an addition. The existing City Hall <br />could be used for a community center or senior center. Council member Siedow noted <br />that taking out the bad soil and bringing more soil would be less expensive. Council <br />LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 17, 2002 <br />
