The Public Safety Building Renovations Committee will review bid results for exterior renovations and make a recommendation to the Board of Trustees regarding contract awards. The committee will also schedule future meetings to discuss interior improvements. The agenda includes a review of the Board of Trustees' action from February 6, 2023, which established the committee.

The committee reviewed finalized exterior improvements and discussed proceeding with interior improvements. This included addressing small items, defining the scope of interior work, establishing design specifications for proposals, and reviewing the scope of work from Kueny Architects.

The committee reviewed and discussed draft zoning ordinance articles, focusing on overlay districts, planned unit developments (PUDs), and the elimination of unnecessary overlays. Discussions included the creation of flexible standards for mixed uses and setbacks, trail overlays, wellhead protection areas, airport height limitations, building and site design standards, landscaping and preservation standards, general performance standards (including fences, swimming pools, and parking), and exterior lighting standards. A project timeline was reviewed, and a public overview of the proposed zoning ordinance update was presented, highlighting key improvements and the creation of informational cards for each zoning district. The committee also discussed the need for flexibility in building standards to accommodate business needs and the potential for phasing the implementation of landscaping standards for phased development projects.

The committee discussed and took action on bids and contract awards for public safety building exterior renovations, including masonry restoration, exterior painting and alternates, and exterior signage. Specific discussion points included signage design, color options, and the potential need for additional concrete work. The committee also reviewed and approved plans and specifications for exterior improvements, including signage and color schemes. The lack of bids for masonry work led to a decision to pursue proposals from masonry contractors for a time and materials approach. Bids were received for painting and signage, and recommendations were made for awarding contracts based on those bids.

The agenda includes discussion and possible action on a final dissolution audit for 2024, EMPD bills paid by MBMPD, assigned fund balances, creating a post-agency fund balance, EMPD status and final fund balance, and a resolution regarding the dissolution of EMPD. The meeting will also include a closed session to discuss employment matters of department employees, followed by a reconvening into open session to take action on closed session items, if necessary. Finally, the agenda includes discussion and possible action on final meeting minutes and dissolution of the EMPD Joint Finance Committee.
