RESOLUTION - Directing the City Manager to review site, design, and acquisition matters for the purpose of designing and constructing a Midtown Justice Campus, a co-location of the Kansas City Police Department Central Patrol Division and the Community Resource Center, and report back to City Council within 30 days.
body
WHEREAS, the City Council has discussed the benefits of co-locating the Kansas City Police Department's Central Patrol Division and the proposed Community Resource Center; and
WHEREAS, co-locating both facilities as the Midtown Justice Campus in areas on and around the current Central Patrol Division site would provide significant cost savings to taxpayers, potentially in the tens of millions of dollars; and
WHEREAS, a joint project at this site would eliminate the need for a separate supplemental parking structure, reduce redundant site work, and streamline planning, procurement, and construction processes; and
WHEREAS, this approach presents a cost-effective solution for taxpayers with attention to security and existing site control; NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF KANSAS CITY:
Section 1. That the City Manager is directed to review site, design, and acquisition matters for the purpose of designing and constructing a Midtown Justice Campus, including working with contracted design professionals to develop a plan for co-locating the Kansas City Police Department Central Patrol Division and the Community Resource Center in areas on and around the current Central Patrol Division site.
Section 2. The City Manager shall report back to the City Council on the progress within 30 days.
