SUBJECT:
Title
APPROVE A BUDGET ALLOCATION OF $163,000, ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 20-031 TO REPLACE THE CARPET ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF CITY HALL AND APPOINT A SUB-COMMITTEE TO EVALUATE OPTIONS AND MAKE THE FINAL FLOORING SELECTION.
Body

On a daily basis, there is a significant amount of foot traffic throughout the facility, with most of the large scale public activities occurring on the second floor.
