Summary

Exploratory Joint Villages Committee and the police chief presented goals for a new, modern police station addressing space, confidentiality and evidence storage; Planning Commission will include station modernization in the master-plan survey going out in January.

Mike Mumper presented findings from the Exploratory Joint Villages Committee and the Police Chief, saying the committee identified functional deficiencies in current facilities and recommended a modern station that is "welcoming to residents and visitors," improves workspace for employees and meets current law-enforcement safety standards.

Mumper listed specific deficiencies: office spaces too small for current needs, difficulty conducting confidential interviews and no secure evidence room. The Planning Commission will incorporate questions about police-station modernization into the upcoming master-plan surveys; Julie Bonello said the first survey will be distributed to all village residents in January.
