At that time, the Council directed staff to get more <br />information regarding Verizon at the City Hall site, and they indicated that they were open <br />to hearing more about the proposal. Staff met with Verizon representatives on May 21 at City <br />Hall and discussed the matter in detail. A preliminary sketch was created by Verizon and <br />presented to staff on June 25. <br /> <br />City Administrator Klaers <br /> recommended to Verizon representatives that the sketch be reviewed <br />with the Council. He indicated that staff has concerns with the proposed size of the building and <br />the property that Verizon wants to lease. The location may also impact any future long range <br />plans the City may have for a City Hall expansion. He requested that the Council discuss the <br />plans further and direct staff on how to proceed. <br /> <br />
