Exploratory committee presents case for modernized police station; planning to include project in master‑plan survey
Summary
An Exploratory Joint Villages Committee presentation outlined goals for a new, modern police station to improve workspace, evidence storage, confidentiality and public access; Council asked the Planning Commission to include station modernization in upcoming resident surveys.
Mike Mumper and the Exploratory Joint Villages Committee presented a brief PowerPoint outlining objectives for a potential new police station, saying the facility should be welcoming, meet current law‑enforcement needs and include secure evidence storage and better interview spaces.
The presentation listed functional deficiencies in existing facilities -- limited office space, lack of a secure evidence room and the need for clearer public wayfinding -- and recommended that the Planning Commission incorporate questions about station modernization into the master‑plan resident survey. Julie Bonello will include those questions in the January survey and the Planning Commission will consider results as part of master‑plan goals and implementation planning.
