City sets tentative October move for Kingston Road temporary police station; Shreve City move delayed by cabling
Summary
Staff said movers are scheduled to relocate Area 4 to Kingston Road on Oct. 27; the Shreve City temporary substation is waiting for cabling vendor availability and will be scheduled when cabling is finished (typically one day of work), after which movers will be booked
City staff briefed the Public Safety Committee on schedules for two temporary police substations, saying Area 4 is scheduled to move to Kingston Road on Oct. 27 and that the Shreve City move remains pending final cabling work.
Shelley Rangel said Kingston Road’s movers are scheduled for Oct. 27. For the Shreve City (temporary) station, staff said all equipment has been configured but the city must still schedule cabling with a vendor; staff said the vendor had calendar availability next week but the city did not yet have a hard date. City staff said cabling work normally takes one day once the vendor is on site, and they will schedule movers after cabling is complete.
Staff told the committee they expect Area 2 to be moved into the Shreve City location once cabling and scheduling are finished and that City moves are being coordinated to limit repeated cancellations. Committee members urged staff to keep council offices informed once a hard date is set.
The committee also discussed the Southpointe lease for other city operations: staff confirmed a three-year lease term with options to extend month-to-month afterward. A council member asked whether the planned new headquarters (referred to as “1234 Texas” in the meeting) will be completed within that lease term; staff said the headquarters project is estimated at about a 22-month build time once construction starts and that actual construction is likely to begin after the first of the year, following the 30-day bid period and additional contract and bonding steps.
Ending: Staff said it will notify council offices when cabling is scheduled and will attempt to secure moving dates as soon as the cabling vendor confirms availability; Area 4 remains scheduled for Oct. 27.
