Construction to start at Paso Robles City Hall. How it will affect city services
The Paso Robles City Hall is about to be renovated — and some key meeting places will temporarily change as a result.
Paso Robles City Hall, located on the second floor of 1000 Spring St., hasn’t seen a comprehensive upgrade since it was built in 1995, a news release from the city said Tuesday. Now, the Paso Robles City Council has made it a priority to address city workspace needs over the next year, and that includes a remodel for City Hall.
Construction is set to begin the week of Nov. 17, the release said. The majority of city staff will relocate by the last week of October.
The water billing, building, engineering and planning services are set to move to the city council meeting chambers on the first floor of the building by Nov. 3, the city wrote.
Other staff will work from alternate city facilities, the release said.
City staff will remain available via phone, email and for in-person appointments, and city services will continue as normal throughout the construction, the release said. The library, which is located in the same building as City Hall, will remain open.
Because some city services are relocating to the city council chambers, city meetings will also be relocated.
According to the release, the City Council, Planning Commission and Development Review Committee meetings will all be held in the Norris Room at Centennial Park, located at 600 Nickerson Drive.
The setting of the Library Board of Trustees meetings will also change, but a location had not been determined as of Tuesday, according to the release.
The city estimated that city staff would return to their offices by January, after which city council chambers would go under construction until April.
The release said the renovations are intended to improve services, enhance building security and support the growth of the city.
“The city of Paso Robles appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation during this important transition,” the release said. “The modernization of City Hall represents a long-term investment in delivering efficient, secure and responsive public services for years to come.”
