A
We
also
have
the
presentation
available
on
our
website
on
our
home
page.
There
is
also
a
comment
card
that
we
encourage
individuals
to
go
on
and
complete
online
and
we'll
provide
that
comment
card
available
to
citizens
for
comments
through
july
9th,
so
that
when
we
come
back
to
the
first
council
meeting
in
july
on
july
13th,
we
can
provide
counsel
with
all
the
comments
that
we've
received
from
public
meetings
as
well
as
any
responses
that
we've
received
online
through
those
comment
cards.
A
A
A
We
brought
on
a
team
of
consultants
as
this
really
started
with
the
evaluation
of
the
government
center.
We
did
bring
on
consultants
to
assist
us
with
evaluating
the
options
on
how
to
replace
what
to
do
with
the
government
center.
As
we
move
forward.
Those
four
options
included
renovation
of
the
tower
with
an
addition
on
the
existing
site
option.
Two
was
a
new
complex
on
the
existing
site,
both
judicial
and
administrative
option.
A
Three
was
a
new
judicial
center
on
the
existing
site
and
the
administration
on
a
new
site
and
then
option
four
was
new
facilities
both
for
judicial
and
administration
on
a
new
site.
So
one
of
the
things
that
our
consultants
look
looked
at
was
the
right
sizing
of
the
square
footage
required
for
government
operations
and
for
judicial.
A
What
they
found
was
the
administration
square
footage
is
approximately
what
it
needs
to
be.
There
was
some
change
from
102
000
square
feet
to
107
000
square
feet,
so
a
slight
increase
in
best
practices
for
administration,
but
what
they
found
on
the
judicial
side
was
there
wasn't
enough
space
allocated
for
best
practices
related
to
court
and
the
court
related
functions
from
260
thousand
square
feet
to
359
000
square
feet.
A
This
particular
diagram
really
illustrates
the
difference
in
our
current
courtroom
and
how
they're
set
up
as
opposed
to
breast
best
practices
and
how
they
would
function
in
that
type
of
a
setting
you
can
see
in
the
blue
section,
which
is
the
actual
courtroom
itself,
is
approximately
the
the
right
size
as
according
to
best
practices.
The
differences
that
you
see
is
in
the
public
circulation
and
in
the
inmate
space.
A
A
What
you
also
see
in
this
diagram
for
best
practices,
is
the
public
space
which
is
represented
in
yellow,
if
you've
ever
been
to
one
of
the
courtrooms
in
the
government
center.
Currently
you'll
notice,
you're
standing
in
a
hallway,
and
you
could
be
standing
next
to
the
party
that
you're
going
to
court
against,
and
so
this
would
allow
for
adequate
space
for
public
circulation
as
well.
A
So
the
four
options,
our
consultants
looked
at
multitude
of
attributes
in
order
to
determine
how
to
evaluate
those
options
anywhere
from
the
site
constraints
to
the
overall
cost.
To
the
functionality
of
the
building
to
the
disruption
of
the
users-
and
they
came
back
and
and
looked
at
these
attributes
for
these
four
options
and
really
put
them
in
the
same
like
a
as
a
street
light
red,
green
or
yellow,
and
what
they
immediately
found
was
elimination
of
option
one
and
option
four.
A
When
looking
at
these
attributes,
they
did
further
evaluation
and
eliminated
option
two
and
felt
that
their
recommendation
would
be
for
option
three
so
option.
Three
is
a
new
judicial
center
on
the
existing
site
and
the
administration
on
a
different
site,
and
again
this
particular
diagram
does
not
represent
what
the
building
would
actually
look
like.
This
is
only
to
represent
the
amount
of
square
footage
that
would
be
needed
and
what,
if
the
stacking
that
could
possibly
occur,
based
on
those
assessments.
A
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
looked
at
was
trying
to
keep
the
cost
of
the
judicial
center
under
200
million,
and
also
looking
at
existing
billing
models
that
was
used
for
the
health
department,
finding
an
existing
building
that
could
be
retrofitted
for
government
administration
operations,
and
so
they
came
back
with
what
they
called
option
3a,
which
would
include
a
new
courthouse
judicial
center
on
the
existing
site.
A
recorder's
court
would
remain
adjacent
to
the
jail,
it's
just
more
efficient
to
have
that
interaction
just
next
to
the
jail
for
recorders
court.
A
For
initial
appearances,
we
all
they
also
looked
at
the
new
administration
for
the
sheriff,
with
the
consolidation
of
the
marshal's
office
and
the
sheriff's
office,
and
looking
at
placing
that
at
the
jail
site.
There
are
a
lot
of
functions
that
the
sheriff's
office
performs.
That
is
not
specifically
court
related.
The
court-related
functions
would
remain
in
the
judicial
center,
but
it
would
move
the
rest
of
the
sheriff's
administration
close
to
or
on
the
jail
site,
and
then
it
also
looked
at
moving
the
city
administration
into
an
existing
renovated
building
somewhere
in
the
city.
A
So
the
phasing
and
what
this
would
look
like
again,
this
is
only
to
show
the
blocking
and
stacking
for
this
facility
on
the
existing
site.
We
have
the
government
center
and
the
wings
with
the
parking
structure,
the
parking
structure
and
the
wings
would
be
demolished
in
order
to
find
space
for
the
new
judicial
center.
A
The
government
center
would
be
demolished
for
the
construction
of
the
parking
facility,
so,
along
with
this
particular
project,
I'll
go
through
the
recommended
projects.
That's
on
the
spots
list.
This
is
what
we've
heard
from
our
citizens
and
input
from
our
department
directors
on
needs
in
their
department.
A
This
is
just
a
summary
of
the
projects.
That's
on
the
list
and
I'll
go
through
those
individually.
The
judicial
center
at
200
million
would
be
approximately
310
000
square
feet,
five
to
600
parking
spaces
and
a
parking
structure.
This
would
allow
for
space
for
all
of
the
courts,
superior
state,
municipal
and
magistrate,
probate
and
juvenile
courts
again.
A
A
The
next
thing
that
we
heard
from
the
citizens-
and
we
hear
frequently,
is
the
need
for
improvements
in
parks
and
recreation.
The
project
would
be
45
million
to
include
park
improvements
at
flat,
rock
carver
park,
cooper,
creek
park,
benning
park
lake
bottom
park,
theo
mcgee
park
and
woodrow
farm
soccer.
A
Complex
also
included,
would
be
many
splash
pads,
as
we
have
on
bay
avenue
at
certain
locations
throughout
the
city
at
cooper,
creek,
south
common
civic
center
carver
park
in
the
liberty,
district
city
service
center
and
lake
bottom
park,
and
also
the
replacement
of
the
pools
that
have
not
been
operational
at
shirley
winston
salmon,
road
and
rigdon
park.
This
could
include
a
pool,
a
splash
pad
or
some
combination
thereof.
At
these
three
locations.
A
The
next
would
be
public
safety
facility
renovations,
10
million
dollars.
This
would
include
the
renovation
and
upgrade
of
three
fire
stations.
Four
six
and
eight
four
is
just
off
of
st
mary's
road.
Six
off
the
brown
avenue
and
eight
is
off
of
whitesville
road
and
also
the
renovation
of
the
public
safety
building
that
was
built
in
the
early
90s
public
safety,
vehicle
and
equipment.
24
million.
A
A
The
trade
center
parking
garage
they
currently
have
about
397
spaces
needing
approximately
500,
so
this
would
be
the
renovation
or
replacement
of
this
facility.
These
funds
would
be
coupled
with
funds
issued
in
the
2003
bonds
for
the
replacement
of
the
parking
structure
at
the
trade
center,
the
civic
center.
You
heard
about
some
of
the
improvements
that
they're
needing
to
make
just
to
bring
that
facility
up
to
today's
standard.
A
This
outlines
the
current
sales
tax
is
at
8
percent.
The
splost
ballot
is
approved
on
november,
the
second,
it
would
not
begin
until
april,
first
of
22.
At
that
time,
the
sales
tax
would
go
to
nine
percent.
A
A
A
We
did
hold
three
public
meetings
going
through
this
exact
presentation
with
the
public
at
the
city
services
center
on
june,
14th,
17th
and
21st,
and
when
we
come
back
in
july,
we'll
provide
all
of
the
comments
and
questions
that
we
received
in
those
public
meetings
as
well
as
any
comments
that
we
receive
online
through
the
comment
card.
That's
on
our
website.
