Their response is surrunarized as follows: "After being informed of the inadequacies of the present City Hall, a fIfty-eight percent to twenty-nine percent margin favored the construction of a new one. A majority would support a multi-use facility containing space to be rented to other government bodies. The current site for this new facility was favored by sixty-four percent of the sample; no other site generated much enthusiasm. A popularly supported community center addition would contain only meeting rooms for corrununity center addition facilities and an indoor swimming pool were opposed by . strong majorities. The residents split, though, in their support for a stand-alone City Hall versus one with a corrununity center addition: thirty-seven percent prefer the former, while thirty-nine percent opted for the latter. By a narrow forty-seven percent to forty-five percent margin, residents would support a bond referendum for a new City Hall. They would oppose a combination City Hall-Corrununity Center bond referendum by a fifty-eight percent to thirty-six percent margin. Neither of these margins bode well for a successful special election bond , referendum. Under these circumstances, the City may wish to investigate funding alternatives which do not require a bond referendum election." .if ANALYSIS Possible Solutions Several alternatives were discussed by subcommittee that should be considered by the City. These are as follows: A. Retrofit and expand both buildings on the present site B. Build totally new facilities on alternate sites . 9 ) I ,-. ~
