In the March 19, 2026 Building/Grounds Committee minutes, Mayor Stewart charged the committee with overseeing city properties and developing a plan for the future of Lake Shore's City Hall and related facilities. The April 14, 2026 committee meeting continued with review of current building concerns with the intention of conducting repairs or replacements. This indicates an early-stage facilities planning effort that could lead to significant capital projects, ranging from targeted building systems upgrades to potential City Hall renovation or replacement.Architects, engineers, facility planners, and construction managers can help the committee assess building conditions, evaluate space needs, and develop costed options and phasing plans. Early conversations about feasibility studies, master planning, and funding strategies will let vendors shape any subsequent design and construction procurements.

The documents point to concern about City Hall’s condition but do not specify whether the city is leaning toward major renovation, expansion, or replacement.
