Where are We Now?
Earlier this year, the City contracted with FGMArchitects, who specialize in designing public safety facilities, to conduct a feasibility study to see if a building that meets our needs could work on the current site. FGM considered several different design options and recommended one that would meet all of our goals. This final Space Needs Assessment & Site Feasibility Analysis was presented to the City Council on September 6, 2022, and the Council had an initial discussion about the report .
Where are We Heading?
At the City Council’s September 19 meeting, the Council again discussed the report and its recommendations and ultimately voted to proceed with the public safety/civic building project. In addition, the council voted to place an advisory referendum on the ballot at the spring election (April 2023) to gauge public support for it. In the coming months, the city will be distributing detailed information about the project and conducting tours of the current facilities.
