By unanimous consent, ,full reading of Resolution Number 2504 was waived. Mr. Courtemarche, City Manager, stated for the record that "through 'the construction of a police facility outside I the Redevelopment Agency Project Area, we would be better able to serve the area by providing for a safe, secure emergency operations center to be utilized in the event of a natural disaster. It would also be utilized as a staging point and 12-22-75 ( . ~-.. 1 ' - ..... housing facility for individual citizens that could be temporarily homeless in the event of any type of natural disaster. The normal opera~ion of a modern Police Department generates certain noise problems not necessarily conducive to a residential area. Relocation I of the Police Department to a non-residential area solves this problem. In addition, it is necessary to provide. for the ho~sing ~f prisoners. To locate a police facil~ty within a resident~al area could c~eate additional problems for the residents in the e~ent of prisoners escaping. This added protection is of direct benefit to the residents of the Project Area. It is also determined that relocation of the Police Facility within the Project Area is not feasible. By the construction of a modern, functional, centrally-located police facility, we would be better able to provide service to those individuals living within the Project Area. With respect to the public works facility, it is noted that the operation of a corporation yard at its present location within a residential area also generates noise, traffic and is of general inconvenience I to residents of the Project Area. Relocation of the facility outside of the Project Area alleviates these problems and is therefore, of direct benefit to the residents of the Project Area. Removal of the City Yard to an area outside the Redevelopment Agency Project Area removed a blighted area from the Redevelopment area, increases income to the Redevelopment Agency by about $30,000 per year to assist in the implementation of the Redevelopment Plan. Relocation of the City Yard to a central point within the City's boundaries enables direct health and safety services to be provided to the Project Area generally."
