6 Masonry style structures, complete with restrooms, are estimated to be priced similarly to the modular unit; - Theoretically, design services would not be required, except perhaps for site work specifications (proper grading and drainage) and utility (water and sewer hook ups). Presumably, costs for this service would be minimal (less than $1,000). - Costs associated with site-work, would be contingent upon where the building was placed on the site. It is plausible that site work could be significantly more than what is listed in Option I, if substantial grading is required to attain proper drainage, or for an access road, parking area, etc. - Assuming the freestanding unit would be located in activity areas that are more remote to water and sewer hookups, connecting those utilities could increase the overall cost of construction. While water is fairly available on the site, an on-site septic system or running lines to connect to the sewer could be a significant development cost. Option II Pros/Cons: Pros: - The building could be located exactly where it is determined the best "policing" effort could occur. - Flexibility in future expansion of the existing building is preserved if the small extension is not added. Cons: - Impervious surfaces added to site. - Cost Option III: Reallocate two offices in existing Community Center for use by the Sheriffs Department. Discussion: As previously referenced, the Community Center is used as a Senior Center as well as for various uses by the Community and the Recreation Department. There are two offices in the Center which are currently unallocated and not used for day to day operations. One of the offices is approximately 12' x 15', while the other is approximately 10' x 10'. The Sheriffs Department has indicated that these offices are quite serviceable for their needs in a satellite facility. The restroom facilities are more than adequate for this additional function. In addition, the large outer meeting room could significantly enhance the flexibility of activities that could be carried out in the satellite office. For example, citizens representing the community at the November 24, 1998 meeting expressed interest in beginning a "Community Park Watch". This room would easily accommodate such meetings with the Sheriffs Department. Option III Pros/Cons: Pros: - Space is immediately available as is, thereby eliminating the need for a capital expenditure; - Deputies moving in and out of the building while it is occupied during normally scheduled activities allows the deputies and citizens to become more familiar with one another;
