City Council authorized the study of a new facility to house the Police Department and Municipal Court.
The City procured the services of Berry Architects in December 2006, to provide a needs assessment. This assessment was designed to provide a report that identified both current and future space needs for Police, the Courts and the Willamette Valley Communications Center (WVCC). The assessment plan included: Information Gathering; Space Standards; Space Needs Projections; Shared Facilities Analysis; Adjacency Diagrams; Site Analysis; Alternative Concepts; Statements of Probable Costs; and Presentations of Findings.
The Needs Assessment and Preliminary Cost Estimate were presented to City Council during a work session on September 10, 2007. A City Council subcommittee was formed to make recommendations on this project and they began meeting on October 1, 2007. During the 2008/09 budget process, a review of properties available for leasing will occur, with estimates provided for staffing, equipping, and leasing costs.
