Impact of City-Hall Because of its size and age, City Hall has a major impact on the Facility Condition Index for the entire General Fund building inventory. City Hall accounts for over one-half of the existing deficiencies in all General Fund buildings while equaling about one-quarter of the total square footage. (In reality, this overstates City Hall's proportion of the square footage of the General Fund building inventory, as the parking level, basement and plaza areas are included in the City Hall square footage figure. Less than half of City Hall's square footage is actually occupied space. If the parking level and plaza area were excluded, City Hall would equal only 11 % of occupied General Fund space, but account for over one-half of existing building repair needs.) 2004 Value of Total Deficiencies -All General Fund Buildings vs. City Hall $~.oo $s.oo $s.oo ~ $a.oo $3.00 .a $2.00 $1.00 ~w $0.00 `~ _..

Without City Hall, the overall condition of the General Fund building inventory would increase from "good," with a Facility Condition Index of 7.3, to "very good," with an FCI of 4.1. In addition, City Hall also has a disproportionate level of emerging deficiencies. About 45% of General Fund building deficiencies expected in the next 5 years are related to City Hall. In May 2001, the City Council adopted a Downtown City Space Plan, setting a strategy for replacement of City Hall and other downtown City offices with one or more new buildings. The major elements of this strategy included relocation of Police personnel from the basement of City Hall, relocation of Fire Station #1 to a new facility, construction of a new Police headquarters building and eventual replacement of City Hall itself. The first two elements of the Downtown City Space Plan have been completed. In May 2002, voters approved an $8.68 million bond issue for construction of a new Downtown Fire Station and a Live Fire Training Building, Council also approved the use of up to $3.9 million from -the Facility Replacement Fund to construct the Police facility on Garfield Street adjacent to the Public Works Department's Roosevelt Yard. This new building houses the Police forensics lab and property section, which were moved from the basement of City Hall. City of Eugene 2008 - 2013 Capital Improvement Program 130
