I residents were asked about the need for a new City Hall. Their response is summarized as follows: - I "After being informed of the inadequacies of the present City Hall, a fIfty-eight percent to twenty-nine percent margin favDred 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 I 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 community center addition facilities and an indDor swimming pool were opposed by I'. strong majorities. The residents split, though, in their support for a stand-alone City Hall versus one with a community 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, I residents would support a bond referendum for a new City Hall. They would oppose a combination City Hall-Community 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 Ii referendum. Under these circumstances, the City may wish to investigate funding alternatives which do not require a bond referendum election." .,.~ 11 ANAL YSIS I) Possible Solutions Several alternatives were discussed by subcommittee that should be considered by the City.
