It is also important to be able to efficiently coordinate emergency services <br />and communicate with other governmental organizations. <br /> <br />13.5 CITY BUILDINGS <br /> <br />13.5.1 City Hall <br /> <br />The City Hall building was opened in October 2001 and is located at 1245 West <br />Highway 96, which is approximately half way between Lexington and Hamline <br />Avenues on the north side of Highway 96.
