City exploring police substations and facilities at new developments and sports complex
Summary
Staff said some new developments (Avamore, Teraview) require land for substations; developers typically donate land and utilities and the city would build or retrofit facilities (possible temporary substation at the Eagle Regional Athletic Park).
During questions about response times and geography, staff said the city is considering alternate patrol models and possible substations to shorten response distances in outlying developments. "Both Avamore and the Teraview developments in the Foothills have required substation locations within their developments to provide police services and facilities," Bartsonser said, and noted the city is reviewing potential locations including the Eagle Regional Athletic Park.
Bartsonser explained that development agreements typically provide the land with utilities and the city would be responsible for construction costs and fit‑out. Committee members asked whether developers set aside funds for facility construction; staff said those details are negotiated in development agreements and that some agreements provide land and initial utilities while the city may need to fund improvements.
