Head ('& City Atty. & DATE : January 13, 1981 city Mgr. la DEPARTMENT : City Manager SHORT TERM/LONG TERM SPACE NEEDS Civic Center Expansion Subject: Statement of t'be Matter Council has requested additional information on both short and long term space needs for Civic Center expansion. The critical current need is to provide additional space for the Police Department. Leasing space to provide additional square footage is neither cost effective nor operationally desirable. Staff recommends placing modular units on the present police parking lot. Alternate police parking space has been analyzed and found unfeasible, i.e., west parking lot would displace other city and fire station property is narrow, would require pedestrian crossi on Elm Avenue, would reduce future Fire Department expansion, and would be only a short term solution. Acquisition and development of the Sachtleben property on Laguna Dri and the Charnholm property on Laguna Drive would provide both short and long term planning. The acquisition of the Sachtleben property (approximately 1 acre) would be necessary to provide police and empl parking and is essential while construction of the recommended modul units is in progress. When the city concludes its long term space need program, both properties could be sold. vehicle and/or city employee parking; Anderson (city owned) property Fiscal Impact Modular units, $80,000; Sachtleben/Charnholm land, $400,000; Parking Construction costs, $155,000; Gas tank and punp, $10,000 = Total of $6451000, appropriations and 1980-81 CIP.
