New City Hall walk-through

Assistant City Manager Susan Brown (left) tests the security door in what will be the the office for the city's water department at the new City Hall building at 123 S. Main St. during a walk-through Wednesday. Also present were City Clerk Diane Clay and City Manager Dave Martin. Officials visited the new quarters earlier in the day, but made a return trip for a photo. Renovations to the former Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitative Services building cost about $104,000, lower than an original estimate of $125,000. Brown said the projected move-in date for city offices going to the new building is Jan. 15. (Ruth Campbell/Tribune)
