FOR council says goodbye to city hall

The Fair Oaks Ranch conducted its final city council meeting ever in its city hall last week.

The big and long-awaited changeover comes as the reconfiguration to expand city staff offices in the once council chambers is underway. The council unanimously approved a budget amendment for the construction costs with Waterman Construction for $177,643, bringing the conversion cost to a total of $952,945 to convert the council chambers to office spaces.

“This is the last council meeting that will be conducted in the council chambers,” FOR Mayor Greg Maxton said. “Right now, the plan is our next council meeting is scheduled to take place in the Police Training Room.”
