The Council Chambers Improvement Project has begun construction and is estimated to be completed in early July.

During the construction timeline:

• The first Study Session and Council meeting held in their temporary locations will be on June 4.
•  Study Sessions will be temporarily moved to the Tacoma Municipal Building North, in Conference Room 16 (733 Market Street). The June 4 meeting will start at 11 AM. All other Study Sessions will continue to be held on Tuesdays at noon at this location until the project is completed.
• Council meetings will be temporarily moved to the Tacoma Public Utilities Auditorium (3628 South 35th Street). All Council meetings will continue to be held on Tuesdays at 5 PM at this facility until the project is completed. 

The project includes installing a conference table in front of the dais to facilitate face-to-face conversations between City leaders and those who join them for Study Sessions and regular meetings. While this update will require the removal of the first two rows of chairs, the City hopes to deepen its conversations and allow the Council and other groups who use the space to conduct business more effectively by providing an option to bring everyone to the table.
