Milton-Freewater City Hall renovation.
Where is it?
At current City Hall site.
How much does it cost?
$3.5 million, through a bond issue because grant funding probably would not cover the entire cost of renovation.
When will it be built/bought?
Unscheduled, but not until after the school district passes a bond. "Instead of pursuing a bond at the same time the school district is trying to get the funding for schools, we decided to wait on our bond vote because we all feel the school bond has a higher priority,'' City Manager Delphine Palmer wrote in an e-mail.
Why is it being proposed?
The city lies close to two earthquake faults, Palmer wrote. According to a seismologist and structural engineer the city consulted, even a moderate earthquake would totally collapse City Hall. The building was built of soft bricks, one entire wall is held up with cables and the roof merely sits on top of the structure.
