They include remodeling of the 12th floor to be used by the Deputy Controllers Office and its various sections - Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, Budgeting and Fiscal Reporting; also on this floor will be the Personnel Department (records, interviews and training facilities) and Central Purchasing. The 14th floor remodeling would entail the enlargement of clerical space on the north end, construction of a fire exit on the west side, and con- struction of three partitioned work areas, on the south end for various city agencies. The council chambers has never been adequately furnished or renovated. Therefore, we feel since we are remodeling, the Council Chambers should be included and necessary corrections made at the same time. The cost of construction and remodeling is approximately $22, 000. 00. An additional $15, 000.00 would be required for furniture and fixtures.
