Oppenheimer Inc., Parkville’s financial advisor to the city on the construction for a new City Hall, said higher-than-expected bids for the project will require cutting $500,000 from the original project plans. City Administrator Joe Turner and Mayor Kathy Dusenbery said some items could easily be eliminated. “There was going to be a $200,000 parking garage that wasn’t in the original plans,” Turner said. “We may be able to cut that pretty easily.” Dusenbery said: “I’m not sad about cutting the little atrium with the little peak thing on top. I never thought it was attractive so if it’s going to save us money I’m for getting ride of it.”
