4 issues in public safety with critical priority
Multiple Fire Station Capital Projects Progress
Stations 76, 73 and 72 are moving through design under Prop 478, with 30% estimates of roughly $21-23.5 million and $18-21 million for the first two and construction slated to begin next year.
Police Substation and Property/Evidence Facility Site Selection
A Prop 478-funded facility at Prescott Lakes Parkway and Sundog Ranch Road is trending at $49-51 million for about 51,000 square feet, with cost-per-square-foot and hillside questions raised but no action yet.
Municipal Court Relocation and Lease
The council scrapped a phased $1.1 million plan and voted to build the whole City Court facility at once for up to $1.6 million, after the judge detailed security risks, bathroom conflicts, and the higher cost of building in phases. The court must still negotiate more time in the county courthouse.
Public Safety Department Overviews and Prop 478 Implementation
Nearly $94,000 was slated for LifePak and Lucas chest compression systems for a fire fleet unit, funded by the public safety tax.
