(KLZA)-- Falls City Council members voted unanimously Monday night to approve a demolition contract for the majority of the interior in the former City Hall Building in the 1800 Block of Towle Street.
Mayor Jerry Oliver says the plan is to remove the former utility offices except for the Gas Department. The Fire Station will remain in tact and in use.
City Administrator Gary Jorn says the facility is deteriorating. He noted whenever items are retrieved from the building you notice a steady decline in the facility. Jorn hopes the demolition of the offices will help make the building more marketable.
The Council approved a bid from Brown Construction in an amount of $12,350 for the demolition work. That does not include the cost of dumpsters that will be leased. Capital Improvement Funds will be used to pay for the work.
The building was originally built as the National Guard Armory then served as City Hall and the Falls City Police Department for approximately 40 years.
The possibility of selling the building has been discusses as well as having it razed if it cannot be sold.
