SCCPD Meeting January 13, 2005 — Page 1 of 2 Robert Garza commented that a good working relationship between all parties has been established and, thus far, the designing of the North DPS facility has been a pleasant and exciting experience. Mr. Garza presented a 3-D Power Point presentation providing the Board with visual designs of the outer facility, while explaining the interior relationship of where each department function would take place within the building. He emphasized that what was being presented tonight was not the final design, and that any additional comments or requests from the Crime Control Board, staff and the community would be taken into consideration for modifications. He stated the three elements that were considered in the design of the North DPS facility were 1) to blend the facility with residential; 2) to achieve rural versus urban esthetics; and 3) be cognizant of the immediate neighbors with regards to vehicular parking and shining head -lights into residential homes. Board Members were provided individual schematic design drawings of the North DPS facility. David Wilson pointed out various aspects of the enlarged design drawings that were mounted on the meeting room wall. He discussed public image of the building, public access and parking associated with the building, the various levels resulting from the grade and elevations of the site, and operations within the building. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Garza addressed Board Member questions and comments. Concerns and thoughts were: that the building be visually inviting and not have the look of an institution; the shooting range would be essentially underground because of the grade of the site and would effectively deaden the sound of firearms; the community room is dividable and is located just off of the main lobby for easy community access; the designs presented sufficiently satisfy the expectations and needs of the Department of Public Safety and everyone is comfortable that the requirements of Fire, Police, and Support Services are being met; there is sufficient parking to keep the public separate from staff and department vehicle parking areas; the EOC is secure and hardened and placement of barriers or a motorcar wall will be implemented; best utilization of entry and exit of fire apparatus and police and emergency vehicles will be used; security cameras will monitor the facility; relationships of the building are correct in connection to DPS duties; the long expanse of the single story element will be broken by making a taller, more prominent entry; and the holding facility will be used for detaining prisoners no longer than a 72 hour period, and on occasions of 4 -day holiday weekends, 96 hours. Director Black stated that numbers are not yet available and plans are to provide the first final draft and numbers from the Construction Manager Agent at the March CCPD meeting. Director Black will keep Board Members updated as to the schedule of the project. Additionally, a website is in the process of being set up. There being no further business to discuss the meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m President Martin Schelling ATTEST: Bobbye Shire, Secretary SCCPD Meeting January 13, 2005 — Page 2 of 2
