City Hall Annex Construction May Be Delayed Again
City officials may hold off on building the City Hall annex in the 1949-50 fiscal year. The buildings and grounds committee urges delaying the purchase of the one half block south of Third Street on Cedar Avenue for another year. If approved, the $750,000 budgeted for the annex could fund other public works. The plan cites Kroeger and Associates analysis suggesting space could be restructured or obtained later. The panel also recommends acquiring two blocks of Pacific Electric right of way on 14th Street for public parking.
