Council renews Garden City Police workspace license at Ada County Victim Services Center
Summary
By unanimous vote, council renewed a license agreement allowing the Garden City Police Department to maintain a workspace at the Ada County Victim Services Center (417 S. 6th St.); staff said the agreement costs the city nothing and supports co-located victim services.
The Garden City City Council unanimously approved a resolution on Oct. 13 renewing the police department’s licensed workspace at the Ada County Victim Services Center, 417 S. 6th Street. City legal counsel described the action as a license renewal, not a lease, and said the county provides the space as part of an interagency partnership at no cost to the city.
“This is a standard renewal. It doesn't cost Garden City a dime. It's a license agreement,” city legal counsel said while introducing the resolution, noting the facility (formerly known as Faces of Hope) offers a one-stop location for victims and co-located services including police, medical and victim-witness coordination.
Council members praised the center’s services and encouraged residents to visit an open house scheduled for Oct. 16 called Steps Against Domestic Violence. The council moved, seconded and approved the resolution with a recorded roll call of council members voting in the affirmative.
The resolution renews the city’s ability to use the workspace; no financial obligations to Garden City were reported in the council discussion.
