ringing success if construction has begun within five years. Completion of the City Hall Complex <br />will take some number of years depending on phasing, timing, and the success of financing efforts. <br /> <br /> <br />C. Progress to Date <br />The expansion or replacement of City Hall has been a major project for the council since 1999, when <br />council was presented with the possibility of selling City Hall to the Federal government as a site for <br />the new Federal Courthouse. In 2001, council adopted a policy statement that called for the replace- <br />ment of City Hall with one or more new buildings by 2010. At that same time, council also adopted a <br />policy to reduce the level of reinvestment in City Hall and the Public Works Building to provide for <br />an expected 8 to 10 years of remaining use. <br /> <br />On September 19, 2001, council addressed near-term and long-term projects that were required to <br />achieve the goal of replacing City Hall. Council directed that relocation of EPD personnel from the <br />basement of City Hall and relocation of Fire Station #1 should be the first priority projects in the <br />Downtown Space Plan. (The 9-1-1 Center had previously been relocated from City Hall to a new <br />nd <br />building at the 2 and Chambers Emergency Services Complex.) The construction of a new Police <br />Building and City Hall were the next project priorities, with design for the Police Building originally <br />projected to begin in FY05, and a replacement of City Hall was targeted to begin design in FY08. <br /> <br />Over the past several years, council has been setting aside funds to pay for this project. As of the <br />FY06 budget, it is anticipated that there will be over $25 million in the Facility Reserve for this pur- <br />pose. <br /> <br />On July 26, 2004, council placed a $6.79 million bond measure to fund civic center elements related <br />to a Community Safety Building on the November 2004 ballot. The measure was to fund social <br />service agency space, police headquarters expansion space, improvements to the parks blocks, and <br />th <br />improvements to make 8 Avenue a “Great Civic Street.” On November 2, 2004, voters rejected <br />ballot measure 20-88 by a margin of 60% to 40%. <br /> <br />Since November, 2004, council has been considering initiation of a City Hall Master Plan process to <br />develop a strategy for addressing both the Police and City Hall projects in a single vision. <br /> <br /> <br />D. Action Plan <br />The action plan will have three phases that will lead to adoption by council of a City Hall Complex <br />Implementation Plan by the end of calendar year 2007. The successful adoption of the Implementa- <br />tion Plan will be followed by a fourth phase, the design and construction of the City Hall Complex. <br /> <br />Phase One – Policy Advisement <br />Phase one of the action plan will begin with the selection of a consultant team through an open Re- <br />quest for Proposals (RFQ) process. The consultant team will likely have an architectural firm in the <br />lead role, but will need to include mechanical and electrical engineers, a landscape architect, a cost <br />estimator, and an expert in strategic planning facilitation. The first task for the consultant team will <br />be to review relevant background information including adopted plans, policies, committee reports <br />and recommendations, and council action history related to City office space, Police facilities, and <br />downtown. The consultant team will also need to meet with staff to form as complete a picture as <br />possible of the current status of the City Hall/Police Building issue prior to meeting with council. <br /> <br />The main task in phase one is for council to participate in a facilitated session to identify and provide <br />direction on policy issues relevant to the City Hall/Police Building question. Council can group these <br />policy issues according to the following three categories: 1) those issues for which council has clear <br />
