Update on the Public Safety Facilities Project Executive Director Dawson stated work continued on the Architectural Services Agreement and related aspects of project management that were ongoing. He reported an Eastside station site had not yet been determined. He noted there were various sites within three-quarters of a mile of the Vine Hill Road and Cottagewood Road being considered. He explained the radial distance would allow for optimum response time should the site be located within that area. Executive Director Dawson anticipated there would be groundbreaking on the main west facility slated for the late summer of this year. President Love commented a decision should be reached within the next 30 days with regard to potential locations for the eastside site. He stated, with regard to the economy of the operation, it would be best to build both stations at one time. However, he explained response time would be maintained within the District should a site for the eastside station not be determined expediently. 4.
