May 6, 2025 City Council Meeting - Design Alternatives

During the May 6, 2025 City Council meeting, the PSM Design Team presented follow-up analysis on the design alternatives for the Public Safety and Maintenance Facility (PSM), originally presented to the City Council at the February 4, 2025 Council meeting. These design alternatives included roof-mounted solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and water storage systems. Staff sought City Council direction on whether to include these design alternatives in the draft PSM schematic design that will be presented to the City Council for approval in June. Additionally, the Design Team is presented an initial strategy on facility structural systems but did not request City Council direction at this time.
