Municipal Development Group
(fMDG).
Under thi agreement TMDG

The city would I it to con­
olidate municipal office functions,
some of them now held in perate
bundlngs at remote locatio ,
Wainwright said that tbe plan w
not completed and he w not asking
the council to vo on it that evening.
If the plan is pproved, � building
would bouse the Mayor's Office and
taff, Cty Council and staff, the Qty
aerie' Office, the Buildinglnspection
Department, Treasury Departm nt,
Legal Department, Finance Depart­
ment, Public Service Admini tranon,
Community Dev lopment Department
and other functiors.
DESPITE ALL THE problems
listed by the Mayor's office making
the current i uninhabitable, the Dis­
trict Courts would continue to be main­
tained in the CU1'1l:nt municipal office
building. The police administration,
taff, aOO jail facilities would remain in
the same place, but might IOOYe at a
future �te to the building where tbe city
h.all is at oow .
The total project cost is estimated at
$725,(0) with S250,<XX> for the pur­
chase of the building, Sl(XMXX> for a
computer system allowance, and
S375,(O) for an interior movable parti­
tion system and building renovations.
In addition, tbere would be an an­
nuallease payment of S132,425.
Council President Pro Tern Chri -
tine Franklin said that U� blueprint of
the plan presented to the council did not
deal with aU h r concerns and did not,
fully explain financial arrangements in­
volved.
" AlL WE HAVE is a pretty book
with pretty pictures," he said.
Franklin stated that since the court
oFFices might have to tay in the
present city hall building, the city might
have to make repairs any way to
eliminate environmental concerns and
provide barrier Free designs.
Since the repairs would have to be
made anyway, it might be better to d
it and not move city hall to another
building, she said.
Councilman Charlie P. Davis ex­
p d concern that in th new city all
planned by the administration, th re
would be no place to park and people
might not be able to take care of busi­
n .
Wainwright admitted, "(In thi:
document] we do not have all t
answers. We have many but n \ ail."
He emphasized that th dmini tra­
tion was not asking For a vote, but had
presented th d ument "to inspire di -
cussion and input."

to make clear in the wording of th
re ijution that disc ion would not be
limited to the idea of getting a new city
hall, uggesting there might ex­

instead.
Councilwoman Greta Johnson aid

to have input, 0 lh uncil agreed to
have different council mern rs rotate
