The Fleets and Facilities Department (FFD) manages and maintains municipal real property and facilities, as well as overseeing the City’s vehicle fleet. FFD was created in 2001 in a reorganization of the Executive Services Department, which was itself created from a merger between the Finance Department, the Personnel Department, and the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) in 1997. DAS was created in 1980 with the merger of certain functions of the General Services Department, Building Department, Division of Motor Transportation, and Office of Management and Budget.

Memoranda, meeting agendas and minutes, and reports on the need for a new city hall in Seattle and where and how it would be established. Topics include employee and visitor needs, space needs, available properties, the benefits of building a new city hall rather than leasing space, and financial analyses. The series contains appraisals of existing spaces available for lease, minutes of public information meetings, reports on space needs, and minutes and reports of the Planning and Design Advisory Committee.

Records are open to the public.
