PUBLIC WORKS FACII.ITY,, .; : <br />A. FINllINGS <br />1. The Public Works Department is currently working out of five separate <br />facilities. The combination of the downtown department with the Public Works-Roads <br />facility at the location of the latter on Silverton Road would save time and money in <br />personnel costs, travel time and equipment needs. <br />2. It further appears that this consolidation of the downtown and Silverton Road <br />operations at the latter location would better serve the public, particularly if a small Public <br />Works office is retained downtown to work in close pro~mity with the Community <br />Development Department. <br />B. RECONIMENDATIONS <br />1. Construct a new 18,000 gross square foot facility at the cunent Public Works- <br />Roads location on Silverton Road, N.E. This facilitv will serve as the main facility for all <br />Public Works' operations: Administration, Engineering, Roads, Survey and Emergency <br />Management (excluding the three outlyin~ shops facilities). <br />2. Technology should be in place to provide access to existing records for <br />downtown users (i.e., Planning, Assessor). <br />3. There will also be a small liaison office of Public Works staff that will be a <br />part of the facility plans for downtown to maintain continuity. <br />C. COST FACTORS <br />1. This facility will be funded through Public Works dedicated funds. <br />2. Preliminary estimates place the cost at appro~mately ~2 million. <br />3. Reserves will be set aside over the next year and a half to pay for the facility. <br />PAGE 26 <br />ksj/cd/Facilities.int 03/18/95 <br />
