Council told Stillwater decommissioning memo is finalizing; member has asked about bonding
Summary
Staff said a decommissioning study for the Stillwater Correctional Facility is being finalized and a memo with council priorities will go to the contractor; staff reported that Josiah Hill has reached out regarding possible bonding requests the city might consider.
Staff reported that the Stillwater Correctional Facility decommissioning study is being finalized and that the city will send a memo outlining council priorities to the contractor completing the study.
Matt said the memo will include specific and generalized priorities and that it will be sent to the contractor, Kimberly Samble. He added that "Josiah Hill has reached out, to the mayor and myself, regarding potential bonding, items that he's seeking from the city," indicating that discussions about possible city‑backed bonding requests may occur as the decommissioning process proceeds.
Why it matters: decommissioning a correctional facility can raise questions about community reuse, bonding and fiscal commitments; the council will be asked to consider priorities and any bonding requests as staff and contractors finalize the study and related memos.
