Livermore moves ahead with new city hall

In a meeting fraught with emotions and strong opinions on both sides, the Livermore City Council decided Monday to go ahead with construction of a new city hall on 4th Avenue (main street downtown) at the intersection with 4th Street. At its November meeting, the council voted 4-0 to proceed with plans to construct a new city hall building on 4th Avenue (the town’s main street) on the lot of the former Livermore State Bank. The action came in light of extensive structural damage to the current Livermore City Hall on 4th Street, as the result of a May 2 snowstorm and strong winds on Sunday, Nov. 3, that blew portions of the roof off the building. At Monday night’s meeting, the council discussed the matter and heard from members of the public opposed to the new building. Livermore residents Paul and Catherine McKibban presented a petition with 129 signatures opposed to building a new city hall for an estimated cost of $258,000.
