City Hall Tower utilization
Summary
The city spent over $10 million seismically retrofitting City Hall's tower, but the upper floors remain empty. Councilmembers debated whether to spend roughly $5 million to finish the fifth floor in time for the Olympics, with some favoring it as community space and others calling it a luxury amid a budget deficit.

Impact analysis
Roughly $5 million to finish the fifth floor plus $1.67 million for upper-floor lobbies — not in the current budget.
Residents and visitors would gain a public/event space with rooftop views if the tower is completed.
