Now, the city is again vacating City Hall and putting the building up for sale as water intrusion and mold buildup has made it all but uninhabitable. That move started in March when customer service, utility billing and other services moved there, when the city was thinking of the move as temporary, and the City Hall problems as still repairable. The city experienced the same water-borne scenario in May 2009 when it was forced to vacate the old coquina-constructed city hall behind the old courthouse, also because of water intrusion. The city is hoping that the building sells so it can use the proceeds toward the new city hall. Robinson says that’s not her priority anyway, at the moment: the priority is to get City Hall and a watewater treatment plant built.
