Monday morning, during the ongoing renovations to the building, a big steel trap door was found by one of the workers in the basement of the current City Hall, future MAAG. Nobody could get it open though they tried everything, including explosives. One of the workers spilled a cup of OSO Negro coffee on it Tuesday afternoon and when the work crew returned Wednesday morning the trap door had sprung open. A steep ladder leads down to a cavernous area with in its centre a shiny 25 foot diameter disc shaped object. The material of the disc is unknown at this time, but it does contain large amounts of Carbonate and Silica. 
It was discovered that the disc shape actually turned when one of the carpenters couldn't find his toolbox at the end of his shift; the toolbox was found, still on top of the mysterious disc, but on the dark end of the huge sub-basement space. That same day a large lever was found which resembled the levers on old rail line switches. When one of the carpenters leaned against the lever it broke off, which caused a loud eerie creaking sound all through the building. When the workers arrived at City Hall Thursday morning the entire building had rotated 180 degrees. Around 6 in the evening the building had rotated back into its original place.
During Thursday many of City employees and citizens walked into the walls of City Hall in places where there used to be doors. Apparently the building's rotation is such an incredible phenomenon that the brain simply cannot compute the change, which causes everything to look just normal to them. Many of the hurt citizens complained that the mayor had promised his doors would always open but that instead approaching him felt like walking into a brick wall.
Measurements were taken by scientists who predicted that if this was the earth's rotation axle, the other end of it would be visible in or near Nelson New Zealand. This fact has now been confirmed; the New Zealanders apparently have known about it for years and have repeatedly tried to inform our City Hall staff about it, but were 'given the run around'. 'We felt kind of shafted' says mayor Sam Heep who added that the enormous torque provided by the earth's giant axle has been used to run turbines which power all electric sheep shears in New Zealand. Mayor Heep also quipped that here in BC the shaft could produce enough electricity to double the number of grow-ops in Nelson and the Slocan Valley.
Initial drawings have been produced for a projection clock above City Hall. The clock would have a giant stationary screen above the building and the change in time on the clock would be caused by the rotation of the building. The clock would show Kootenay time; MLA Suffridene has introduced a motion into the legislative assembly which would see the entire province adopting Kootenay time.
Mayor Elliott, who bloodied his nose while trying to enter City Hall commented that if people only paid attention between elections, they would have discovered this years ago. Councillor MacDonald announced that she is negotiating with the Disney Corporation for a substantial amount of sponsorship money. She assured BTP that the proposed display of Mickey Mouse images on the outside of the building would be done in 'very good taste'. 
Councillor Mungall commented the building could become a shrine for her Moderately Conservative Cheerleading group, which she felt caused the building's turn to the right. Councillors Dooley, Jay and Mason introduced a motion which opposes the movement of the building.
