The other buildings are fairly new, and Johnson Controls previously identified 42 smaller items in the other buildings that could help. Encompassing all the buildings will take 43 focus off of the City Hall building, which probably needs the most focus. According to the 44 Johnson Controls report, there is not a lot to be done of a considerable sum of money at the other 45 buildings. To spend another $16,000 just to verify the Johnson Controls report takes the focus 46 away from what needs to be done on City Hall where the greatest amount of work could be done
