Re:
Space Needs Study
Attached you will find the executive summary pages and space needs overview
submitted by Boarman, Kroos, Pfister, Vogal and Associates for the needs
assessment study for the police and fire departments. The full report, including a
detailed analysis of the entire space utilization, will be completed and presented to
you at the work session. I think you will note that the study points out a space
shortage existing in both departments.
To provide you with a basis to review this information, Chief Beckering and I will start
our portion of the work session with a detailed tour of both facilities. Following that,
we will bring the architect into a general discussion of some of the issues effecting
space needs for the departments. A certain number of space considerations have
developed due to mandates imposed on the departments by the courts, OSHA, and
changes in operational conditions. The architect will be prepared to discuss their
analysis of current space utilization.
We hope this framework will give you the information you need to analyze the entire
report and determine an assessment of the current situation.
