Body
I. SUMMARY
Office furnishings on the second floor of City Hall have not been updated in more than 20 years, with many workspaces showing severe signs of wear and tear. Namely, the council member offices, council support staff workstations, and the council aide workstations all require upgrades.

A subsequent Amendment No. 1 was entered into on June 20, 2023, for the fulfillment of various unforeseen changes to staff work areas that required modifications to the order. A second amendment was approved by City Council on September 19, 2023 to obtain furniture for the Community Center, Veterans Sports Complex, and the Clerk's Office. Now a third amendment is recommended for remaining offices on the second floor of City Hall supporting the City Council.
