associated discussion. (DM)
-9andall Scott, 14755 Preston Road, Suite 730 of Randall Scott Architects spoke about the initial findings regarding the construction of a
unicipal building and the potential for a new police department. He requested that the Council provide him some direction regarding their
desire to move forward with building either a new police or administration building following his presentation of four different options for
buildings to house the police department and/or administration.
After much discussion, Council chose to hold off on moving towards either building a town hall or building a police department due to
various reasons which include but are not limited to some of the following reasons: general and overall cost, inflation of building materials,
questions surrounding whether a police or town hall should be built first, and concerns revolving around the cost to build a water storage
tank and whether there will be enough money to build a tank and a new building. It was suggested that the Council explore this issue
again in the future, and that a discussion of the potential for another bond to be passed to address some of the "building issues" occur in
the future as well.
