Council chambers were packed for a meeting where supporters spoke out in favor of renaming the building. No one at the meeting spoke against honoring the former mayor. Supporters of the renaming have said they wanted to honor Palmer now while he is still alive rather than a posthumous dedication like many building renamings.
