Tether to continue or not. The Planning Commission will continue to meet in the City Hall because of . he proximity to the city inspector's office. .

A citizens committee has determined deter-mined that the city's major needs are a new library, new city hall, new fire station and ambulance station, and a new city shop. He said that the new city shop could be built with capital improvement im-provement funds for the 1984-85 budget year, approximately $100,000. With bonding, a new library-city hall complex could be built and furnished for about $700,000. With an additional, $300,000 an ambulance and fire station could be added to the city hall-library complex or to the present Public Safety Building, either on the north side or the west side. The city hall-library complex could be built on the property that fronts on Center Street and connects with the present city hall and Public Safety Building. The council discussed adding to the present library, remodeling the city hall and adding to the Public Safety Building. The Community Development Committee could review this in long range planning. The council agreed to proceed to have the proposals reviewed and get more input. In the meantime the city council will try meeting in the courtroom as more seats are available there. The public is invited to all city council meetings. They are held at 7 p.m. each first and third Tuesday. |
