               1.   City Hall/Police Department Construction

                    This project consists of the construction of a new joint City Hall/Police Department facility.  The City
                    has outgrown its current facilities to the point where employees that would ideally be housed in the
                    same building are spread out among several different buildings throughout the City.  The new facility
                    will allow for the reconsolidation of staff into a centralized location and will be designed and built to
                    last for a period of 40 to 50 years.  This is for construction only; land was purchased in a prior year.

                    Cost:                     $10,300,000

                    Funding Source:           Gas Well Royalties
                                              Transfer from General Fund reserves
                                              2016 Certificates of Obligation

                    Operating Budget Impact:   No  direct  financial  impact  on  the  current  operating  budget  is
                                              anticipated.  Construction  began in June 2018  and  is expected to be
                                              complete by  December  2019.   No additional staff  will be required.
                                              Current staff members will be involved with the project and they must
                                              dedicate time to oversee the project which does take staff time away
                                              from routine duties creating an indirect impact on the operating budget.
                                              In addition,  it is  anticipated that some utility costs  will increase as  a
                                              result of the increased footprint of the facility.   However, it  is also
                                              anticipated that much the increase will be offset by the efficiencies of
                                              updated facilities.
