As its July 9, 2008 meeting, the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission (PRAC)
discussed the tatuE of the existing City Hall. The discussion took place because there
have been sev ral ideas raised about what to do with the existing City Hall including:
1, ing it into a building that could be used for various programs including a
semor enter, a teen center and for community organizations to rent and use for
meetin s, events and gatherings,
2. Demol sh City Hall and replace it with a City park that could contain a Veteran's
Memo ial Park.
3. Sell th building for a different purpose or use.
After discussi g these options, PRAC members voted to unanimously recommend to the
Mayor and Ci Council that the existing City Hall remain and be converted to a senior
center and al 0 be used for teen programming and for community organization's
programs, eve ts and gatherings,
If you should ave any questions regarding this recommendation, please do not hesitate

Sincerely,
Karen Neal,
