Police-facility study: staff seeks apples-to-apples cost comparison of remodel vs. new construction
Summary
The Police Commission continues to analyze whether to remodel the existing Lakes Area Police Department building or build new; staff requested an architect proposal to produce a space/program comparison and preliminary cost estimates to help council weigh options.
City staff provided an update on the Lakes Area Police Department facility review and said the police commission is working through an analysis comparing a remodel to new construction. Staff has requested a space-analysis and preliminary plan from an architect that will break down square footage needs for evidence, storage and office areas and translate that into an apples-to-apples cost comparison.
Staff said the exercise will help the council and commission compare what a $4 million remodel would include versus new construction scenarios, and that roof-repair and other exterior or code upgrades may affect the cost comparison. No formal decision was requested tonight; staff said additional information and a preplan will be scheduled for future consideration.
