Um so previously for capital improvements we had presented um three items that we were hoping to work on.

The first being um updated body camera contracts.

Um we have since obtained funding for this, so we're no longer requesting assistance on that, so I'm gonna focus on two additional projects that we've been looking at.

The first being our parking lot project.

Uh this item has been on capital improvement project itinerary um since 2017, and still something that we are uh very much desiring.

Currently very little um site drainage exists, resulting in flooding and damaged pavement at the police department.

The traffic flow mixes with emergency vehicles and personal vehicles as well in a confined travel area, making things very difficult for passage, especially in emergency situations.

There's no current pedestrian access from the public sidewalk to the police department and other site projects to include our most recent riverside project have reduced our parking spaces.

We utilized contingency money from the Nine Riverside project to fund a parking lot study through VHB.

Um our consultant VHB is designing a site silver project to repair the dilapidated parking lot at the police department main building.

The work includes mitigating the drainage issues, traffic flow, and to increase police department parking for both the officers and um incoming customers.

Um their required permitting will be handed uh excuse me, handled by part of the contract as the police department security gating and illumination as well.

The project is currently in the concept design phase with the hope of moving forward pending funding.

We have a meeting with VHB coming up on May 1st, where we'll sit down with the company and they will uh provide us with what they believe the design concepts should be going forward.

So at this point, I don't have what their full concept is.

We do know that the asphalt parking lot is original to the property from 1979.

The parking lot has never been repaved and is in current disrepair as a result.

There are large cracks throughout the lot and portions of the asphalt are crumbling.

The main entrance to the employee area has drainage issues as well, which has caused deterioration in the asphalt.

Repairs are made to the asphalt every year as numerous potholes appear after each winter.
