“The Dallas City Council’s action to authorize advance work for relocating City Hall is a step that supports a more modern, cost-effective municipal operations. The City Council has authorized the City Manager to negotiate pre-development agreements and conduct thorough due diligence on prospective sites, and has appropriated funds for that work, including reimbursement of property owner expenses. This deliberate process is designed to give the City the information it needs to make a sound, fiscally responsible decision that better serves residents, supports staff, and supports Dallas’s long-term growth.
“The City Council also approved relocating 911 operations and the Office of Emergency Management and Crisis Response from 1500 Marilla to a more resilient, purpose-built facility. The action authorizes advance planning, directs the City Manager to negotiate and execute pre-development agreements and perform due diligence on prospective sites, and appropriates funding for site evaluations, including reimbursement of reasonable property owner expenses. The goal is to strengthen reliability, response times, and continuity of operations while ensuring fiscal responsibility and transparency. We will engage stakeholders and report progress Council regularly.”
