<p>Dear LAN Neighborhood Association Members,</p>
<p>You probably are aware that a city consultant is proposing
relocating city hall from the current building downtown to the
former Sally Mae building northeast of 6th and Iowa. If you are
having difficulty picturing this building, it may be because it is
completely invisible from nearly any direction. This proposal has
been scheduled for discussion at the October 15 City Commission
meeting. After a discussion at the September LAN meeting, LAN
officers moved that we send a letter to the City Commission
opposing this move. Some of the reasons for keeping City Hall
Downtown include:</p>
<ul>
<li>The City Hall anchors the northern end of downtown. Abandoning
the current location will adversely effect all of downtown, the
gem of our community. <br>
</li>
<li>The new site will be less visible and less accessible than our
current city hall.</li>
<li>The funds required have not been estimated, but will certainly
be quite large.</li>
<li>A decision to rearrange key public space cannot be done on an
administrative basis and should not be considered for approval
solely at the City Commission level. <br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>I have attached a draft letter to the commission.<b> The officers
ask that you consider these concerns and vote yes or no on
submitting a letter opposing this proposed relocation. Please
email Holli Joyce at <a href="mailto: holliajoyce@yahoo.com" moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">holliajoyce@yahoo.com</a>
with your vote asap. A majority of membership (8) is required to
pass this motion.<br>
</b></p>
Thanks,<br>
Gary Webber, LAN Secretary
