The City Commission hosted a special meeting about City Hall on Friday, November 1. Commissioners discussed and approved their new City Hall renderings as they move forward with City Hall renovations plans.
Quote of the Day
"I don't want resident input
to affect what the architect does."
Mayor Joey Raspe
The current City Hall has about 4,200 s.f. of ground floor office space. The renderings add 1,377 s.f. new first floor space plus 1,550 .f. new second floor space for 2,927 s.f total new construction. Most commissioners said they were not in favor of the "three tower" plan.
Commissioners expressed a desire for "enough" space. They discussed that that space could include a gym, visitor center, and multiple reception areas. Worthy of note, KCB uses Marble Hall for community meetings, visitors, and exercise groups.
The drawings were in the November 1 commissioner's packet but not on the city website. The city website also still shows City Hall is condemned. Click or tap here to email the commissioners and city clerk .
The renderings in the November 1 Special Meeting Agenda Packet are "old news" and, apparently not the renderings they voted on. They approved "Scheme A1" from Wes Burton which was unavailable at press time.
People Are Asking, If a building must be completed in 15 months, why has KCB taken over six years just to start on City Hall, and "hopes" to finish by 2026?

People Are also Asking why the towered rendering looks so much like the LIVS-design rejected by KCB residents?
