RS-1 POLICE FACILITY
(Mayor and Common Council)
Chairman Holcomb explained previous activity regarding this item
to the Council indicating that on a vote of 6-1, the Council approved
the concept of a new police facility and the 7th and "D" Street site.
He expressed a need to ratify all concerns regarding this item and to
begin implementation of plans so that in the event Congress approves a
budget for Anti-Recession Funds, the City could possibly qualify and
be ready for the use of those funds.
Chairman Holcomb emphasized that if the Council chose to pick a
new site such as the one Councilman Hernandez was proposing, the City
would not have enough time to meet the deadline set by Congress to
qualify for those funds. He also indicated that moving from the 7th
and "D" Street site to the Platt Building site would cause an increase
of $15 a square foot and also additional costs for re-designs and
demolition.
Chairman Holcomb expressed concern regarding other discrepancies
associated with the Platt Building such as parking and construction
time. He read a letter from Project for Public Spaces, a consultant
hired to evaluate downtown, which indicated that it could not
recommend locating the police facility into the Platt Building.
Chief Dan Robbins, San Bernardino Police Department, stated that
he had viewed both locations and felt the 7th and "D" Street site
would be more appropriate and beneficial for both the station and the
City.
COUNCILWOMAN POPE-LUDLAM WAS EXCUSED AT 5:20 P.M.
Chief Robbins spoke on the many benefits of the 7th and "D"
Street site such as parking capabilities as well as future growth

police facility.
Rod MacDonald, MacDonald Properties, explained his analysis
regarding the cost of the police facility at the Platt Building site
indicating that cost would also be determined by the type of material
used to build the building.
Councilman Hernandez explained that a traffic study would need to
be completed in order to analyze the parking situation at the Platt
i
Building site.
i
Mr. MacDonald stated that police parking and public parking mixed
together would only lead to complications.
COUNCILWOMAN MILLER WAS EXCUSED AT 5:36 P.M.
Councilman Hernandez indicated that the demolition of the police
facility was previously proposed by the Mayor, and he felt that it
should not be an additional cost for the police facility.
Mr. MacDonald explained that the proposed new facility at 7th and
"D" Street had room to accommodate a communications center without
extending the square footage of the facility.
Discussion ensued regarding the need for a communications center
in the City as well as retaining the Courts in the City.
Councilwoman Estrada expressed concern regarding the amount of
funds invested in the superblock site. She also expressed a desire to
review alternative sites for the police facility as well as
information regarding the I-215 expansion and how the traffic from 7th
Street would flow to the freeway.
Councilwoman Estrada also requested information regarding the
signing of two agreement with a consultant without authorization from
the Council.

additional information regarding the funding was provided as back-up
