"...that we need to be here and be open to deal with the crisis, but also the next stage, which is to here and open to help in the recovery, to get back"
It probably makes more sense (and cheaper) to run a command centre out of the Public Works Yard. There's no added value of keeping City Hall open so Dean & Co can check their emails and Katie can have a staging ground for interviews.

Please paint it any colour but what it is now.
I actually much prefer the current all-over red colour to the 1980's "neapolitan ice-cream" palette it replaced. There must be colour pictures existing of City Hall's appearance before it's ghastly 1980s paint job.

What you need is the Firehall to be functioning, the one they have known for two years needs work to survive an earthquake
The firehall needs to be the first priority.
The city could use a brand new city hall in a new location. Then you could gut the present building, do a proper seismic upgrade, and then move the Art Gallery into that location.
Like others I didn't know this project was on the books, which is par for the course to announce projects after the election. What's a little more debt got to do with it, got to do with it.

I suppose renovations here are done?
Something else I noticed is that, although the building has a different address, the entrance to Victoria City Hall, being 2/3rds of the way up the 600 block, is located at 666 Pandora Ave. The true Pandora's box?

The priorities committee directed staff for the City of Victoria to start implementing a plan aimed at bridging the gap between City Hall and the business community.
One of the ideas put forward by the plan is to put $250,000 a year on a business hub at City Hall.
Staff and council hope to have the business hub up and running by the end of this year.
A hub?

As far as business, though, is there anything other than a business license that a typical business needs from the city?

“Can it be righted? Well that depends,” says the City of Victoria’s Facilities Manager, Chaz Whipp.
Whipp is speaking about the City Hall clocktower and its ...lean. [Full article]
