Quick Recap:
- Joe Lynch, Owner Project Manager, (OPM) provides an overview, then the other members of the team walk through the presentation doc shared here
- Starting with 200 in Franklin they whittled down to 36, then to 8, then finally to 2; Davis Thayer and Parmenter
- Compiled the listing of deficiencies and needs for the current and future department operations, lead to preliminary building design requirements
- In turn, these requirements lead to initial placement on the final 2 sites (DT & Parmenter) and a discussion on the pros and cons of each
- An initial estimation of the building cost and total project cost was provided. For Parmenter site it could be about $48M, the DT site would be more as it would also require demolition of the existing building and that was not calculated at the time
- Next steps were outlined
- open houses scheduled for the community to view the existing facility on 911 Panther Way
- Tours of 3 recent police buildings done for other communities are being scheduled for the Committee
- Next meeting scheduled for Oct 27 at Council Chambers
- Site selection is likely to be either at that meeting or the next one in order for the remainder of the project timeline to continue to move forward (i.e. more detailed design, and cots estimations, etc.)
