There has never been a definitive word from the Council <br />about moving City Hall, which is a 15.8 million dollar item, and now it is on the consent agenda. <br />The last minutes from the worksession show there is an $800,000 cost just to bring this to <br />bidding, and not even to move any dirt. This is a substantial amount of money. He stated <br /> <br />City CounciV August 10, 2004 <br />Page 3 of 27 <br /> <br />P17 <br />
