Do employees need to be removed <br />from the environment immediately? <br /> <br />The Police Commission needs legal, engineering, and public health expertise to answer <br />these basic questions and the voiced concerns of employees. Our first task is to contract <br />with public health and engineering expertise to determine the magnitude of the health issues. <br />Based on their initial findings, either the facility can be repaired, remodeled, or temporary <br />facilities leased to solve the immediate issues. <br /> <br />Secondary, Longer-term Questions <br />The consultants also need to address longer-term solutions. The Cities and Commission <br />need a thorough independent analysis of the facilities required to perform the functions of a <br />modern police department. The analysis should assume facilities for a population of 15,000 <br />residents. The analysis should define and describe: <br />. Functions of a modem police force <br />. Facilities to support the functions <br />. Criteria, standards or guidelines used to type and size for each function <br />. Options with costs for an array of alternative solutions <br />. Financing options to procure facilities <br /> <br />A thorough analysis will include not only repair, remodel, and new construction, but merger <br />with larger departments such as Blaine or Uno Lakes. The report will be written so it may be <br />shared with citiZens and offer them choices. The consultant(s) should be prepared to make <br />presentations before Council's and open houses in each City. <br /> <br />Request for Authority to Incur Costs <br />The 2003 CLPD budget does not contain a line item to fund the health and engineering <br />analysis needed to solve the health problems at police headquarters nor the longer-term <br />secondary facility questions. The Commission requests approval and authority by the <br />respective Councils to hire independent consultants to determine the scope of the problems <br />and recommend an array of options to resolVe the immediate health problem and longer-term <br />facility related questions. <br /> <br />Enclosures <br />Letter from Centennial Lakes Police Commission employees <br />Notes from Gerry Rismoen's comments at November 14, 2002 Police Commission <br />Sample Resolution <br /> <br />.If () , <br />
