He said this should be low impact in relation to traffic. 23 <br />Commissioner Greene asked if the space in Emergency Services warehouse would no 24 <br />longer be used. 25 <br />Travis Myren said yes. 26 <br />Commissioner Bedford asked if this is the best location for a facility such as this, and 27 <br />could staff consider other locations when conducting the facilities space study. 28 <br />Travis Myren said staff can consider that as part of the overall facility space plan. He 29 <br />said the Medical Examiner travels as needed, so it does not need to be near a hospital, etc. He 30 <br />said having it outside of downtowns will not impact the service levels required.
