Waukee City Hall to Get Facelift in 2013

The Waukee City Council on Monday approved a $183,000 remodeling plan for Waukee City Hall, the Des Moines Register reports.

The plan, drawn up by douglasDesign+associates, inc. of Glen Ellyn, IL, would revamp about 3,400 square feet of the office space, which opened in 1999.

Work includes redesigning the reception area, and installing different counters where people can meet with city employees. The plan also calls for adding new amenities to the City Council chambers.

Councilman Mike Watts said expanding City Hall was needed to accommodate a growing staff and to provide better customer service to residents, the Register reported.

A specific timeline for the work has yet to be finalized, the newspaper said.
