What: repairing the Police Service Center building after mold and expanding it by about 18,000 square feet.
Where it stands: the Budget and Finance Committee recommended on October 6 funding both from unreserved fund balance rather than bonds: about $17.5 million for remediation (taking the building down to the studs) and about $8.9 million for the expansion, roughly $26.4 million in all. A structural report found no additional concerns. Figures are as captioned.
Next: public hearing October 20 and first reading October 27, as part of FY2027 Budget Amendments.
