The City of Indianola recently met with the city’s consultant regarding the Public Safety, the Library, and City Hall building project, which is a plan approved by the Indianola City Council to review and develop plans for replacement facilities. City Manager Ryan Waller tells KNIA News City Hall is not operating as efficiently as possible.

“We have departments that are split by hallways, we have equipment stored in multiple locations for police and fire and in the time of emergency that could make a difference because seconds matter. As far as the building, we identified that some of our mechanical systems, the boiler system, our windows were not as efficient as they could be which does cost more to run and maintain.”

The project plans for a combined Library and City Hall facility and a new Public Safety facility at the existing sites, and an update will be provided to the Indianola City Council within the next several months.
