At the conclusion of the presentation, the Council asked staff to continue the study in a second phase.

MPI was asked to capitalize on data collected in Phase 1 and provide additional options and financial analysis. The Phase 2 Report was presented to the Council on March 28, 2023. The Council consensus was to further investigate the feasibility and costs associated with a new Police and Courts Facility, new Fire Station 1, and options for a Town Center. Staff reviewed and represented the Phase 1 and 2 findings and sought the Council's direction regarding the next steps on July 11, 2023.
