Commission authorizes up to $850,000 for police-station fixtures, furnishings and equipment
Summary
Deputy City Manager Colin Belzer updated the commission on the police-station renovation and requested authority to purchase furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) for the renovated AstroBank building; commissioners authorized up to $850,000 to be paid from general-obligation bond proceeds.
Deputy City Manager Colin Belzer updated the Hays City Commission on the police-station renovation, describing the conversion of the former AstroBank building, the projected 23,000 square feet of space, and programmatic additions including a municipal courtroom, dedicated interview rooms and a ventilated evidence room. Belzer said the overall project budget was $8.9 million and asked the commission for authority to begin purchasing FF&E.
Belzer said staff "estimates [FF&E] will not exceed $850,000" and that about $300,000 of that would be IT-related expenses, $450,000 for office equipment and roughly $100,000 to equip a training room with a professional training system. A motion to authorize purchases not to exceed $850,000 from general-obligation bond proceeds was made, seconded, and approved unanimously by the commission (vote announced as 5–0).
