Department Description: Background REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Police Department Remodeling ewed Date: 06/26/O1 Item No.: F- 1 Agenda Section Reports and Recommendations The 2001 annual budget contains $25,000 for remodeling the administrative area of the Police Department. In currently reviewing the squad room area, the floor covering needs to be replaced as well as the walls repainted. It appears to be in the City's best interest to proceed with a"freshening up" of the police work area at the same time we are doing the administrative area. Even though the facilities study is underway, we do not expect a"move in" for at least 3-4 years. It appears to be a reasonable approach to maintain our current facilities at a level which continues to provide for a suitable workspace as well as respectable appearance. Policy Implications It is within the City Council policy to consider items such as this request as budget amendments when it makes sense to do so. The City's policies provide for staff to make the appropriate recommendations to the Council. Financial Implications While the remodeling has most of its budgetary funding, additional resources in the amount not to exceed $35,000 will be needed to complete the work area maintenance. Staff is recommending funding from the Improvements fund. Council Action Motion to approve the allocation of up to $35,000 to complete the police administration area remodeling and the maintenance of the officer work area with funding from the Improvements Fund.
