Summary
City staff recommended exploring acquisition of 6350 Horizon Drive (American Police Hall of Fame) as a potential site for Titusville Police Department headquarters and an emergency operations center; council approved use of staff time and consultant services to evaluate feasibility and financing.
Titusville, Fla.
Council authorized staff to proceed with a feasibility review of 6350 Horizon Drive, the American Police Hall of Fame property, to evaluate whether the city should acquire and repurpose the building for police headquarters and an emergency operations center. City staff reported a walkthrough and said the property appears to be a viable candidate for acquisition and reuse pending appraisals and consultant analysis.
The manager recommended completing two independent appraisals and drafting a scope for consultant work to evaluate acquisition costs, renovation needs and funding strategies. Council asked for a cost estimate and likely timeline; staff said the full study would likely return several months after the first of the year, with urgent steps focused on appraisals and due diligence. The motion to proceed passed unanimously.
Next steps: Staff will prepare a cost estimate for consultant services, obtain appraisals, and return with a comprehensive report with options and funding scenarios.
