Foyer remodel
March 20, 2002
Department
The Police and Fire Departments have utilized a small T.I.F. fund to attempt to solve
some of the critical space needs in their departments. Bids will be sought in four specific
areas. Diagrams will be made available at the workshop.
Foyer:
The WRICOPS assessment of the police department identified a need for reception at the
front lobby of the police department. The department will provide space for a reception
desk in front of a new hallway area that leads to both the police and fire departments.
The reception counter will be moved and a large records room space will be constructed
to provide additional space in the department for further remodeling.
Juvenile Holding/Interview Room
The addition of a records room will provide space inside the department to construct an
additional interview room and juvenile holding space. The space must be constructed to
meet the stringent requirements for holding juveniles and still be flexible enough to use
for interviews. Currently the department has no juvenile holding space and only one
interview room It is essential to separate witnesses and suspects for interviews and the
space is sorely needed. We currently have no area to separate juveniles from adults.
Detective/Administrative
The detective's office will be reconfigured to allow some office space for the Patrol
Lieutenant and to better align the divisions. The Patrol Lieutenant currently has office
space in what was previously used as a file cabinet space.
Fire
Fire will assume the council office for medical records. An additional office space will
be built neat to the City Manager's office to replace that space. This would allow the
reception position to be moved to the area in front of police and fire.
