Department and Village Hall renovation.
Following some discussion on the extent of the work, the Council agreed to go
ahead with the Police Department only.
Mr. McIntosh asked about land acquisition for the Fire Department, how
important and how fast do we need room in the Police Dept.? How much space
does the Police Dept. need right now?
Comments were made concerning lowering the ceiling in the lobby, moving the
fire/rescue and using that space.
Mr. McIntosh proposed a plan for extending the present building to the south
and east.
The Mayor reiterated that it is a consensus of Council to serve the needs of
the Police Dept. as soon as possible and he thought Mr. McIntosh's idea of
going out to the east and south should be developed. The Police stated there
would be no problem with this plan and the architect was asked for preliminary
