The architects have determined the following space is needed:

12,000
The current budget is $5,800,000.00. This would adequately fund the three (3) buildings
if they are constructed at the same time. The original campus of buildings concept is
based on the idea that some components such as heating would be shared. If these items
are not shared, the project is not affordable. The proposal is to build a civic campus which
is connected but maintains individual identities.
COUNCIL WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 10, 1997
Community rooms and conference rooms were discussed with staff noting that these
rooms are located so that they can be used by both the Police Department and the City
Hall.
Staff noted that if additional space is needed for the Police Department before the year
2010, an addition can be constructed.
Council asked why the Police Department and the City Hall cannot share a building?
Staff explained that they can share a building, however, each entity wanted a separate
identity. Council asked if a two (2) story building could serve both the City Hall and the
Police Department. Staff explained that separate identities could not be maintained.
Council asked if the Early Childhood Center is going to be big enough to take care of the
expansion needs of both the City Hall and the Police Department. Staff explained that
there would be enough space.
Staff displayed the floor plan for the Early Childhood Center building noting that it is a
simple building.

square foot version of the Police Department building.
Council Member Neal felt the new Police Department building should be constructed
next to the fire station.
Council Member Lyden felt that the Council had demonstrated a commitment to building
the Police Department building and the Early Childhood Center and suggested that the
City Hall could wait.
Council Member Bergeson said that he could not make any decision on this matter
tonight and asked for another meeting to discuss this proposal.
Staff explained that the Early Childhood Center must be completed by November, 1998
to meet the needs of the School District.
