Cosby said the facility would be about 11,000 square feet with 12 emergency beds and a helipad, and he estimated the project cost at $16 million.

Cosby offered to provide project updates to city staff every two to three months.

City Manager Johnson thanked Becky Carroll for keeping the city informed. The remarks were part of citizen participation and an informational announcement rather than a city-funded project approval; Parkridge's stated cost and timeline were presented by the new CEO and are reported here as his statements to the board.
