With a new set of floor plans set to go, the rebuilt Grand Forks City Hall looks like it could be ready to go in the late spring.After a fire caused extensive damage to the venerable building, the city has had to move services into different locations throughout the area while City Hall is rebuilt.“These floor plans are really an improvement over what we had before in terms of the utility of the building,” said Mayor Brian Taylor. “I’m talking primarily of the bottom (main) floor which was where the majority of the damage was. We are going to take the opportunity to upgrade a number of things in the building.”Taylor said the plans for the inside of the building are creative, but won’t affect the outside at all.“Everything is on schedule in our planning,” he said. “What we’re doing is looking is finalizing our floor plans and budgeting for the renovations to start in the spring.”He added that the majority of the costs will be covered by insurance.“I could see us absorbing some small costs,” said Taylor. “I would not be opposed to some minimal cost to us to improve the heritage nature of the building. Primarily, we’re talking about upstairs and things we want to do at the same time as the major downstairs floor plan change.”Taylor said they would like to work with the gallery 2 historical group and the Grand Forks museum society to decorate and “really bring attention to those great historical features of the city.”“This is going to be a showcase of the community,” he said. Doug Allin, Grand Forks city administrative officer, said that council will receive an update on the floor plans at the next regular council meeting. “We’re going to show them what we’ve got for the floor plans at this point right now based on consultation with our team,” he said. “We’re then going to put that out at a Committee of the Whole meeting to get some feedback from our customers. Then we’re going to move forward to the next level of the rehabilitation.”Allin said the city received a report from their insurance company on Monday.“They reviewed the quantities of the damage and put together a cost estimate with that,” he said. “We’re going to review that and basically come to an agreement about what’s going to be the cost of replacement and we’ll carry on from there.”Once the city and the insurers agree on the replacement costs, the city will put the construction work out to tender.
