Project:
Police, Fire, and City Hall Facility
Location:
6700 Portland Ave.
(site of existing City Hall)
Summary:
The Police, Fire, and City Hall Facility would be nearly double the
size of the existing facility. Much of that added space would be dedicated
for covered parking for public safety vehicles. The facility would be
built on the same site as the existing building. Besides improved
parking for police vehicles, the new building would be more energy
efficient, comply with ADA regulations, and provide a better work space for
employees.
City Hall Advisory Task Force (CHAT):
Two
task force groups were developed to determine whether to rehabilitate the
existing facility or to build a new one.
The first advisory
group recommended to the Council that the City Hall facility
should be replaced by a larger, more efficient facility. The
second group was charged with determining site location, choosing an
architect, developing site plans, and funding options. To read a

Cost/Funding:
$21.6 million (estimate)

Square Feet:
87,500 sq. feet
Timeline:
The
Council will be considering a first reading of a transitory ordinance
authorizing the planning, design, and construction of a new Police/Fire/City
Hall facility and scheduling a public hearing and second reading for June
10, 2008.
