COUNCIL MEETING
Bowen Building Review – Had a meet today with Bowen, topic of discussion was of concept building footprints. Some key points included:
– Fire Department – Addition of bay on the North side of the property and either a single or two story addition to the southeast portion of the FD (About 4000 Square Feet). After discussion, further concept drawings are being made of the two story proposal which seems to fit the parcel better then the single story option
– Police and Village Hall – Several different layouts and site plans were discussed. A key discussion was had on how the existing police and city hall structures may be difficult and impractical to reuse. With that in mind, the following concept was discussed and will be further developed before our next meeting. The bank building would be repurposed into a community / training / mixed use space. A new Village Hall and Police Department would be placed on the current Village Hall property. The two buildings would be connected and serve all police and civic functions. A green space would be made in front of the new building and some sort of sidewalk / crosswalk would connect the new Village Civic Building and the Community Center Building. In total the police would be looking at about 19,720 square feet of space, The Village Hall would contain 4,300 square feet, and the community center would be about 3,500 square feet. The Police / Village Hall would also be a two story structure. Keeping the Village Hall staff and Police staff in the same building was discussed and encouraged to remain that was for security, parking and operational concerns.
– In the next phase of the process, Bowen will create a “rough draft” of how the previously determined space requirements would fit into the new proposed site plans. IT is important to remember that this is all conceptual at this point, and no one idea is locked in stone.
New Hires – May have an additional two part time employees to be considered in the next few weeks.
Hard Rock Rocksino & NVRC Stats – NVFD responded to 58 medical / 3 fire incidents at the Hard Rock and 55 medical / 1 fire incidents at NVRC Since January 1, 2017.
