Why was the Church of Christ Scientist Property selected?
The property is adjacent to other City buildings, which makes it a desirable location from a service perspective, does not displace any other business or revenue-generating use, and fills in overlooked but available space in the downtown core. Also, the Church would not agree to develop the property for any purpose other than City Offices. The Council, at a regular public meeting, directed the City Manager to enter negotiations for the property in 2003.
