Shauna Clark, City Administrator discussed the need to hire an
architect to prepare plane for the remodeling of the new police department.
She emphasized that a space study needed to be completed because it is an
existing building. The new building is apprOximately 35,000 sq. ft. and the
existing building is 51,000 sq. ft. Ms. Clark stated that not all of the
51,000 sq. ft. in the building was useab1e space. She questioned the Smylie
study which was prepared baCk in January, 1989, saying that she feels they
gave an overblown estimate as to what was necessary for the Police
Department. TheT estimated a need of 86,000 sq. ft. Ms. Clark continued her
discussion b7 telling the Committee that theT purchased this site for the
Department because of its ability to be expanded.

Chairperson Bstrada expressed her concerna about the new building being
smaller than the existing building and what the costs would be to
remodel/expand the bUilding, if necessary.
Kayor Bolcomb stated a space study was needed to establish the costs
for remodeling/expanding. Be felt space studies were routine matters
necessary in the planning process.
Chairperson Bstrada questioned Archetype International's experience in
conducting space studies for police departments and their knowledge of moving
large agencies.
Shaune Clark, City Administrator, responded by stating that the
Archetype International fira has never space planned a police department, but
they have extensive space planning experience. She believes they are a very
responaible fira based on past experience. She inforaed the Committee that
the City used Archetype International to put together different configurations
for the finance group when they were relocating. .
Committee Member Maudsley asked the City Administrator ~ the City was
coming to the Bconomic Development Agency for the funds for the space study.
Ms. Clark explained the BDA owned the building and so she felt that
they should pay for the space study. .

Tim Steinhaus, Administrator, Bconomic Development Agency informed the
Committee that this matter was brought to the Community Development Commission
on November 18, 1991, and referred to the Redevelopment Committee. Be
introduced Jonelle Malloy from Green Streets, Inc., who completed deSigns for
the Parking Structure Landscaping Plan.
Jonelle Malloy, representative for Green Streets, Inc., showed designs
of the original landscaping plan and two alternative plans. The original
plan, which included a gazebo, planters, roof gardens and special irrigation
systems cost $425,000.00. She stated that she wea asked to come up with a
more reasonably priced plan that would still have a prOfessional look. The
second plan she presented, priced at $94,319.00, used less planters, no
gazebo, but used graphic coloring on the pavement instead of the gardens. The
planters that are used for landscaping purposes are not moveable for safety
reasons. The third plan, priced at $84,184.95 was identical to plan two, with
the exception of colored graphics. She stated that if the irrigation system
could be tapped into the existing fire hydrants, it would save an additional
$13,800.
