Council awards consultant for police facilities master plan and appropriates funds for substation feasibility study
Summary
Carrier Johnson + Culture will perform a 7‑month police facilities master plan and 10‑year CIP/20‑year master plan to analyze headquarters needs and whether an eastern substation is warranted; council approved the contract and a $93,815 CIP appropriation.
The council approved a consultant services agreement with Carrier Johnson + Culture to deliver a police facilities master plan, a 10‑year capital improvement program and a 20‑year facilities plan that will evaluate current space use, staffing and deployment needs and examine whether a substation in the eastern part of the city is warranted.
The scope includes data gathering, benchmarking against similar agencies, walk‑throughs of existing facilities, GIS and call‑for‑service modeling and deliverables that include conceptual site identification, cost estimates and an actionable CIP. Carrier Johnson presented the approach and said the team will combine local familiarity with national benchmarking and a data‑driven modeler (Jensen Hughes) to simulate current and projected service demands. Staff noted the city previously appropriated $300,000 and the additional appropriation requested is $93,815 to complete the scope.
Council emphasized enforcement, response times, parking and potential administrative uses at a second site; several members recommended district‑level engagement and coordination with economic development for transfer and mitigation strategies. The resolution to award the agreement and appropriate the additional $93,815 passed unanimously.
Ending: Staff will initiate the seven‑month process and return with a final master plan and CIP recommendations, including any recommended substation location and cost estimates.
