POLICE DEPARTMENT
Remodel/Request to Bid: The Police Department submitted a request to go to
bid for remodeling. Habecker, Sievers and Deputy Chief Filsinger met to discuss the
remodel of the front office and cell areas. Remodeling of the front office would
enhance customer service. The existing interior walls would be removed from the
secretarial/records area allowing more visibility to the front lobby area. The ladies
restroom would be converted to a records storage area. The restroom in the fire
garage would be remodeled as the women's restroom. The men's restroom would be
remodeled to become ADA accessible and the shower would be removed. The cell
areas would be remodeled to accommodate temporary holding cells. Sievers will be
the construction/project manager. His goal from a construction standpoint is to list all of
the plans for remodel and then go to a local contractor for bid. Start with a design/build
menu and then cut back where feasible. Would like to start the project late summer of
1999 and go into spring of 2000. The parking lot was done over a period of two years
that allowed billing over a two-year period. Deputy Chief Filsinger said the
Records/Clerical area would have to be moved to another site while under remodel,
possibly room 203. Remodeling of the cell block area would only create minor
problems. Chief Repola said we would probably start construction after October 99.
This project is to be considered as a minor remodeling project that would enhance the
building for any future use and would allow better functionality of the area.
The Committee recommends that staff be authorized to solicit bids, returning to
the Committee for bid approval.
Personnel Update: Basil Marciniak was hired as a Telecommunicator I and is in
training.
