Here's a deal you can't refuse Dickinson City Administrator Don Taylor is trying to crunch the numbers so the city can build a new city hall next to the planned police station without raising taxes. One way it would work is if UTMB rents out the entire existing city hall to expand the Points of Light clinic that now occupies a small part of the municipal building. "I can't lease it to UTMB unless we build a new city hall," Taylor said. But the city can't afford to build a new one unless it has the money from renting out the old one. Not to worry.

Taylor has another idea: Water Control and Improvement District No. 1, which is crammed into a tiny office on Pine Drive, could share space in a new city hall. "They've got a room over there for meetings," Taylor said. "They could use our city council room that will seat 100 people. It's just silly for two taxing entities to have two buildings like that Both of us don't have to build a kitchen.

Share the cost, and the cost goes down." le MONDAY to 6 Action Leather Comfort Recliner Comfortable Rocker Recliner Features heavily padded attached back and armrest Available in brown; blue, mauve or green.
