    Excerpt:
    “This option would provide adequate storage space to satisfy the evidence retention needs for the next 10-15 years, as well as bring our vehicle processing back onsite to alleviate any security concerns and support efficiency in processing. City staff determined this option to be the most cost effective and prudent solution to provide the GFPD with operational efficiencies and adequate storage for the next decade and beyond,” according to staff.
    Staff presented the option to commissioners during their Nov. 1, 2022 work session and “after receiving positive feedback from the commission, city staff moved forward with the request for proposal process for a comprehensive design, bidding phase, and construction phase services package,” according to staff.
    During the Fe. 21 meeting, Commissioner Rick Tryon said, “this is a very good step. We’ve been behind for about 40 years now so hopefully we can catch up.”
