ATTACHMENT B DESCRIPTION OF BASIC COMMUNITY SAFETY BUILDING The basic Community Safety Building is a 67,000 square feet facility that will support current Police functions. This facility would accommodate current Police needs without expansion space and would include a back-up 911 Center. This facility would be almost twice the size of the space currently occu- pied by Police in City Hall. The Police Forensic Evidence and Property Control Units (FEU/PCU) would remain at Roosevelt and Garfield. After evaluating how operations are affected by having this function located outside the down- town area, a future phase could bring this function back downtown if it is considered desirable. No additional space would be provided at this time for social service agencies, additional public meeting rooms or expansion beyond 2008, although those items could be done separately or in a future phase. If it is possible to include any of these items during design due to lower-than-estimated costs or other fund- ing sources, that will also be considered. "Civic Street" pedestrian improvements to 8th Avenue would be limited to the block-long segment on the south side of 8th occupied by the new Community Safety Building. The project costs for this basic facility are set out in the chart below.
