As for the pot of money, I vaguely remember the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors doing an end-run around a bond issue to finance it.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-50685336162501072002014-05-02T10:13:04.648-07:002014-05-02T10:13:04.648-07:00The hole around the foundation edges appears like ...The hole around the foundation edges appears like they are putting the building on base isolators ("shock absorbers") like they did City Hall.
