No City Hall?

The feasibility study failed to account for the construction and upkeep of a City Hall, a crucial element for conducting public business in every city. The study does not provide any financial allocation for the necessary building expenses. Instead, it mentions that Brandi Hammon, one of the primary sponsors for incorporation, has offered her Wolf Creek property as a temporary city hall. This raises concerns about a potential conflict of interest and an oversight in the study. The study projects a million plus for a city hall construction and or purchase. This seems very unrealistic. Furthermore, the study projects no increase in expenditures over the next five years, implying that Brandi Hammon, a real estate mogul, developer, and business owner in the Valley, could exert control over the city offices—an evident conflict of interest.

 

Additionally, it is essential to note that the eventual cost of constructing a city hall would likely fall on the citizens through the issuance of a bond, leading to a tax increase. This financial burden should be a critical consideration in evaluating the feasibility of the proposed city incorporation.
