SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends approval of a Consulting Services Agreement with INDIGO / Hammond & Playle Architects, LLP in the amount of $72,000 for the preparation of conceptual designs and cost estimates related to the partial relocation of the Police Department into the South Offices Building and expansion of the Communication Center within the Public Safety Building.
