in at that orwt." Executive Dine
tor of Operations Rill Davison
said of the almost 4b percent
inrreaae in the cos* of City Hall s
planned renovation and exnan
s>on “The increased coat of ms
tenais is one reason the pner
has gone up and there have been
changes in the city in the last
couple of years We had to add
personnel to meet the needs of
the citizens We are forking at
very minimal n pans ion *
The voters approved reno
vsting City Hall (expanding ser-
vice areas such as utility billing
and the court clerk's area/ and
acquiring land for additional
parking as part of the sales tax
project
Voters vetoed a I2A5.0GC
proposal to allow thr city to buy
the land between City Hall and
the police station to expand nt>
facilities
Mure than 13)0.000 had to
be transferred from a park de

Tbs! project, without the

more than (400.000 over bud
get It s now projected to exceed
the budgeted amount by just
(90 ClOO c tairlesy of thr budget
transfer
Davie n said the project was
under the guidance of a differ
ent police chief at the time, and
changes were made in the sire
of the police building after the
bond package was put together
"We startl'd Ixrking at the
needs of the department, and
determined that they needed
something larger * Davison said
of the poller Station
The prwr of the fire subs la
Uon and training center also in
creased because the project is 90
percent concrete Davison said
the last price he was quoted
showed that the cost of concrete
had risen from (40 a cubic yard
to (50 a cubic yard
The bond package was sold
in three groups — general ohli
gation bonds, revenue bonds,
and sab-* tax bond* < >enera] ob-
