Capital Project Descriptions

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.
