Logical Occupants for Operational Efficiency

• Primarily office-based
• Adjacencies needs
• Economies of scale by centralizing
• Convenience for citizens
• Convenience for internal customers
• Does not rule out decentralization for enhanced
  customer service

10
Baseline

• Assess cost to accommodate all City functions
  that should (based on operational efficiency)
  operate from a City Hall (single or multiple
  buildings)
• If multiple buildings, all functions should be
  located within walking distance from each other
  
• Decentralize as indicated by ongoing analysis
