IV. VILLAGE HALL SPACE STUDY DISCUSSION
The current Village Hall was built in 1958 as a bank facility and was acquired by the
Village of Mount Prospect in 1976. The building houses the Administrative offices
for the Finance and Community Development Departments as well as the offices of
the Village Clerk, Manager and Mayor. 37 full-time and 8 part-time employees
occupy approximately 15,000 square feet of space.
A number of physical and operational deficiencies in the building have been
identified over the past decade. Numerous band-aid repairs and small scale
remodelings have maintained the viability of the facility for the short-term but the
need for substantial repair and renovation is critical in order to keep it as a valuable
Village asset. Unfortunately, due to funding limitations and other priorities, a
resolution to these deficiencies has, to date, never been implemented.
This year, the Village Board budgeted $75,000 for a Space Study and has set aside
an additional $1 million for possible rehabilitation of the building. The proposed
Study will evaluate physical and operational deficiencies and recommend a range of
solutions. All solutions will include projected costs for the Board to evaluate prior to
any decision relative to rehabilitation.
The purpose of Tuesday's meeting is to:
1. Review the proposed course of action with Board members to address
physical and operational deficiencies to rehabilitate and reuse the existing
facility.
2. Review and approve commencement of a Space Study as the first item in the
proposed action plan.
Appropriate staff will be in attendance to facilitate the discussion. In addition,
representatives from the firm of Yas/Fischel Partnership (recommended firm) will be
available for questions or comments.
