The meeting, which was held for the purpose of being debriefed by the architects on the
proposed new police building, (which will be acted on at the regular 6:00 pm meeting, 3/8/10 as
Item SC) was called to order at 5:00 p.m. by Mayor Borno. Mayor Borno welcomed the
audience.
1. Ian Reeves, president of Architects Design Group, explained the various options for
consideration for the east bank locations proposed for the new police building as well as the
original location proposed on the west bank. He explained that Options 2, 3, and 4 require the
demolition and re-creation of the Commission Chamber to create enough buildable site footprint
area. He further stated Option 2 would also require selective demolition of a portion of the
existing Public Safety Building for construction staging and secured access into the remaining
portion of the Public Safety Building, which would require fording a temporary location for the
Police Department as well as the Commission Chamber. He stated all options require the creek
to be reconfigured to give a better buildable site area.
Mr. Reeves answered questions from the Commission and City Manager.
Mr. Reeves further explained which trees would be necessary to remove for the different options.
Assistant City Manager David Thompson explained the various cost comparisons for each option.
Discussion ensued regarding demolition of the existing police building versus renovation.
City Manager Hanson summarized the options to fund the cost of the new building, and
explained further that approximately $2,757,000 will need to be financed. He stated the current
interest rate is estimated to be 4.5%.
There being no further discussion by the City Commission, the Mayor declared the meeting
adjourned at 7:42 p.m.
