Chief: new police facility nearly complete; cleaning and finishing costs remain
Summary
The police chief told trustees the new Beecher police facility is nearly finished, roughly on track for mid‑April occupancy, and that some tasks such as cleaning were not included in the construction contract and will require additional expense.
Police Chief updated trustees on March 24 that the village’s new police facility is in the final stages of construction and that contractors have been responsive to change requests.
The chief said crews corrected a sloped electrical floor panel at the village’s request and replaced concrete and tile where needed. He described the building as “a really, really nice building” and said officers will appreciate the finished facility. The chief reported contractors expect the department to occupy the building in mid‑April if schedules hold.
Chiefs also told trustees that some expected items—specifically cleaning the completed building—were not included in the original construction contract and will require hiring a cleaning contractor, adding modest unforeseen cost. He noted an evidence vault and final interior finishes are in place. Trustees were invited to request a site tour.
The update was presented as an informational report; trustees did not take a formal vote on additional contract work at the March 24 meeting.
