Ci[y Hall- Police Station E~,cpansion Commiltee Page 4 There are a number of issues for the City Council to discuss. Hopefully some decisions will be made at the Monday, November 19, 2001, meeting. At a minimum we'd like to get a decision on building layout options and resolve the fire department location issue. Ideally, we would make some decisions about how to fund the police facility and whether or not we should move forward with a police/fire hall facility together at one time. Another decision to consider relates to the public safety complex and whether the facility should be funded with tax monies and if the project should be considered now or next fall. The next step in this building project process is to have the City Council authorize Tushie Montgomery to move forward into the design phase. This would be part of the architectural contract for the project. Architectural services generally run in the 7.5% range. This design work will get the city to the point of being able to go out for construction documents and this design work will give us good cost estimates for the project. The cost for the design services may need to be adjusted if the fire department is included in the proposal. Also, a separate proposal will most likely be needed for the utilities facility. It is appropriate for the Utilities Commission to consider this information and provide an indication to the City Council on how it wants to proceed. A joint meeting with the commission may also be appropriate. We will need to move forward soon if we are going to try for a spring building project. As previously discussed with the City Council, the city can stop the project at any time including after the design phase due to lack of funds being available or the need to downsize the project.
