Background/Discussion
In September of 2017, Council received a presentation from Five Bugles regarding a needs study for the
Police and Fire Department building expansion. Areas addressed in the needs study included; the
completion of the upper level and garage expansion of the police department and the remodel and
expansion of Fire Station 2 with a possible addition of a third station.
In March of 2019, the Council gave approval to fund and seek an architectural design firm to complete the
expansion project. An RFP was created with a deadline of August 30, 2019. The submitted proposals were
reviewed by a committee and an architectural design firm was selected in early March 2020.
