Community Goals and Values
Manzanita Listens revealed several themes that are important to the community.
These include:
- Getting the most value for their investment
- The community wants a city hall that is durable, adaptable, functional and efficient
- They want a building able to withstand coastal conditions and that is resilient in the event of an earthquake
- Matching the unique culture and norms of the community
- Being environmentally sustainable
The Manzanita City Council is committed to incorporating these themes
as it implements all phases of the city hall project.
Together, we will build a city hall that:
- Reflects the culture and diverse values of our community
- Creates an inspiring workspace for our staff
- Provides for user-friendly, efficient customer service
- Embraces innovation
