ARGUMENT FOR CIVIC CENTER
BOND PROPOSITION
It is deemed necessary that a new Civic Center be constructed
for the following reasons:
1. The progress and character of a community are
measured by its central civic buildings. A
new Civic Center would stimulate new business
interests in this area, thereby creating new
jobs and aiding the growth of our City.
2. The present City Hall, constructed in 1910 and
added to in 1937, is obsolete.
3. The building is a fire hazard, with many electri-
cal circuits being overloaded.
4. The City Hall is in such poor condition that it
would not be economically feasible to restore it.
5. Those who are employed, as well as the vital
records contained in the present City Hall, are
in jeopardy due to the fire hazard and the de-
terioratedcondition of the present structure.
6. Present floor space is inadequate to provide the
service required by citizens and visitors.
7. Present facilities are decentralized. At present,
persons wishing to transact business with the City
often must first visit three separate City build-
ings in separate sections of the City.
8. Current Council Chambers are not sufficiently large
to accomodate interested citizens, nor does the
courtroom have sufficient seating capacity consis-
tent with the needs of the community.
9. The City's nerve center,
is located in unsuitable
