Body
Presenter:
Council Member Kris Nicholl, District 3
Body
Description/Background:
Please review the attached memorandum.
Council Member Nicholl is proposing that the Council begin the process of planning for a new, purpose-built Public Safety Building to serve as the headquarters for the Sandy City Police Department.
This proposal suggests that the council target the 2027 General Election ballot, utilizing a General Obligation (GO) Bond to finance construction. It recommends that the city aim to begin construction in 2028.
Fiscal Impact:
As written, this proposal would require the passage of a general obligation bond which, if it approved by voters, could generate property tax revenue equivalent to the cost needed to construct the facility.
Further action to be taken:
This is a first reading. Council Member Nicholl is looking for feedback for the council on her proposal. This may be brought back for a second reading during a future council meeting.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:

No formal action is required this evening.
