 Well, after holding its first Council meeting of the year at the Sanford Center, renovations at Bemidji City Hall are on track to be completed in time for the next City Council meeting. Over the past week, construction crews began work on a ramp to make the Council Chambers ADA accessible. Desks and other furniture have also been moved to make additional space. While the renovations to the Council Chambers are a quick fix, further discussion on a more permanent fix could come in the near future. It's still on the horizon, that's why we wanted it, but it's a big deal and so that's why we wanted to make sure we could make our Council a day as ADA compliant and accessible to people that have mobility issues and so that's why we wanted to get that done right away. It's an easier job to knock out quick and the bigger remodel project has to be a larger planning process for the Council. The Bemidji City Council will return to the City Hall Conference Room for its work session next Monday.
