PUBLIC INPUT
Top 3 Priorities - 2016
Residents were provided with two opportunities to weigh in on their priorities for a new City Hall during
the 2016 feasibility study, including an Open City Hall discussion and a public open house. Feedback
received from the two forums is summarized in the chart below. Energy Efficiency, Public Access, and
Building Safety were most frequently ranked within respondents’ top three priorities.
Location Preference - 2016
During the 2016 public open house, attendees requested that two additional priorities be added to the
list for a new City Hall: Located Downtown or Located Outside of Downtown. Of the 90 priority
responses (presumably about 30 individuals), 12 identified a downtown location as a major priority,
and 12 identified a non-downtown location as a major priority.
Cost Consideration - 2016
To gage participants’ commitment to their priorities, the respondents were asked to specify how cost
would affect their priorities. More than half of the participants (58%) indicated that their priority
ranking would not change, regardless of expense. 21% of participants indicated that their priority
ranking should be balanced with cost, and the remaining 21% favored the most cost-effective solution
over their priority rankings.
Location/Cost Preference – 2014
The 2014 Citizen Survey asked residents to identify the extent to which they supported or opposed
several high-level solutions for replacing City Hall. Most respondents (74%) supported keeping City Hall
downtown if it is the most cost-effective solution, while a nearly equal number (72%) indicated they
would support the lowest cost option, regardless of location. A minority (47%) favored keeping City Hall
downtown regardless of expense.
