Louisville City Council Meeting <br />May 7, 2002 <br />Page 10 <br /> <br />Davidson stated that a police department in a residential area has the same affect as an <br />office building and does not produce a noisy environment. <br /> <br />Brown asked for clarification on the financial implications of the project. He voiced his <br />understanding that Council is being asked to approve the architectural design, the site <br />work and construction cost of the police building. <br /> <br />Simmons stated that the 2002 Capital Project budget has identified $2.1 million dollar for <br />the construction of the police building. Under Option A, Staff estimates an additional <br />$964,000.00 is required to complete the police building. He noted that the Finance <br />Committee reviewed the 2002 Capital Projects budget, and anticipates a total expenditure <br />of $3.1 million dollars. The fund balance for the Capital Projects at the end of 2002 is <br />projected to be $2.6 million dollars. He stated that $2.6 million dollars would be carded <br />over to the 2003 Capital Projects budget. Simmons stated that with Council authorization, <br />the project will go out to bids, and based on the bid numbers, the Capital Projects funds <br />can be reevaluated. <br /> <br />Brown asked for confirmation that the capital projects for 2002 have not been modified. <br />Simmons confirmed that for 2002, no capital projects have been deleted or modified to <br />accommodate the police station project. <br /> <br />Van Pelt voiced concern for the lack of estimates for furniture and fixtures for the police <br />station. <br /> <br />Simmons confirmed that furniture and fixtures are not included, however, there is an <br />estimate of $400,000. He stated that furniture and fixtures would be discussed in the <br />2003 and 2004 budget process. <br /> <br />Davidson agreed that furniture and fixture should be a part of the total budget. <br /> <br />Sisk suggested that alternate bids be reviewed at a later date. He stressed that Council <br />must give the architect direction on which option is preferred <br /> <br />Davidson suggested that Council select Option A. <br /> <br />MOTION: Sisk moved that Council authorize Option A, and request that the architect <br />consider and provide estimates for the finished municipal court, seconded by Keany. <br /> <br />Sisk amended his motion to reflect that the shell space designated for dispatch be deleted <br />and future public safety needs be added. Keany accepted the amendment. <br /> <br />VOTE: All in favor. <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br /> <br />
