Council members delayed the vote because of the city’s uncertain fiscal condition and ongoing state and federal investigations into allegations of misuse of funds.
Williamsport City Hall had been condemned. All but several city police officers were relocated after leaks in the roof caused significant water damage during thunderstorms in mid-July.City Council Thursday night voted 6-1 to table“Not only did the sale get tabled, but progress and development in the city did also,” JBAS president John Basalyga said Friday.
Basalyga questions whether council members considered the condition of the more than 125-year-old building, that needs a new roof, if it sits vacant for another winter. Councilwoman Bonnie Katz believes city offices could be consolidated on the first floor of City Hall for a little more than $5 million.
The unanswered questions acknowledged by mayor and council are attributed to the city’s uncertain fiscal condition and ongoing state and federal investigations into allegations of misuse of funds. He favors keeping city offices in their temporary locations until the results of the audits and investigations are known. “You’re talking about the city being homeless for next three to four years,” Miele said.
Yoder later suggested that council try to find sufficient money to hire a third-party person to look at City Hall to determine the scope of the required work.
