Re: Work session on building project

On January 28 we will bring members of the design teams from each
department along with the architects and construction managers for the
project for an update. Each department will present current site plans
that are being used to develop the construction documents that will be
submitted for bid authorization to City Council on Febnlary 18.
Each team will present a short overview of the current plans and the
latest budget projections based on the site plans. Time has been set
aside for questions and comments with the design teams.
Following that discussion an update on the current progress on
identifying a radio solution for all Public Safety Radio systems will be
given. The City has received a report from the radio consultant hired to
examine the problem and he has identified six possible solutions. Of
those solutions, four have not been reconunended as requiring costs
beyond budgeted amounts or not allowed by F.C.C. restrictions on
frequency licensing. One option remaining would be to rebuild our
current equipment and then purchase a permanent solution in two to
three years. The second option is to join the Metropolitan Radio
System. An update on possible costs and details of both solutions will
be presented.
