However, members of council, meeting in committee, adopted Mayor Lyman Gifford's sugges- tion to recommend to council at its regular meeting Monday. that the financial implications of the proposal be referred to the fi- nance committee for study and a report. e The proposal, if approved, jwould start a-chain reaction ithat, over the next several years, would move the police de- lpartment to Public Utilities jCommission buildings with the {PUC constructing new office jand service buildings next to its inew Farewell st. transportation 'building hall addition 'and could house the magistrate's court and three departments now located outside city hall in rented premises -- juvenile and family court, wel- fare department and industrial commission. He suggested it might cost the "city an additional $625,000 to re- place the PUC floor space and to purchase the church property on Centre st., which is located in the middle of city-owned lands, But, he added, if the police department did not move it would require a 2,000 square foot addition, more parking would have to be provided and more space in the proposed ad- dition would have to be con- structed to house departments earmarked for the police build- ing -- all of which would cost about $340,000. budget for new administration buildings, Ald. Hayward Mur- doch, property committee chair- man, last night said that when he suggested $1 million he was| considering only. additional buildings and not parking costs and a few other factors, 'The $1 million was just a guess," he said. The Toronto architects were hired in June and presented a $2.8 million proposal at a coun- cil-in-committee meeting Oct. 26. Council asked the architects to come back with a $1.7 mil- lion, proposal and include police department space requirements in their investigations. (At the Oct. 26 meeting, council voted, with Ald. Margaret Shaw and Ald. Christine Thomas opposing, not to release details of the $2.8 million proposal to news media.) Architect Paul Pentland told council last night the $1.7 mil- two-storey wing,' $369,600; two- storey tower, $321,200; one-level underground garage, $468,000; council chamber, $100,000; alter- ations to the present city hall including air conditioning in the present and proposed buildings, $276,000; landscaping, $20,000; furniture, $50,000; and fees, $92 500 for a total of $1,697,300. *H., F.. Baldwin, PUC chair- man, told council the PUC re- quires additional office space but at present has enough space for service departments. How- ever, he said the PUC is willing to turn over its land and build- ings to the city providing the city pays the cost of construct- ing an equivalent amount of floor space on the PUC's 10- acre Farewell st. land.
