Title
Honnen Building Facility Condition Assessment Review
Body
Summary and Background Information:
Council has engaged in a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Adams County to purchase the Honnen Building located at 7111 E 56th Ave. for the price of $500,000.

Additionally, IT estimates a cost of approximately $88,000 to develop the building’s IT infrastructure and connect it to the city’s network.
The short-term items have a total estimated cost of $198,548. These are items that should be addressed within three years of the purchase. The single largest short-ter...
