Key Focus Areas:

Public Safety

AGENDA CAPTION:

Present and discuss the Bond Advisory Committee's recommendation to include the calling of a bond election regarding a capital project to address the Town's Police and Courts facility.

BACKGROUND:

On October 14, 2025, Council approved a resolution establishing and appointing a Bond Advisory Committee to assess and review information and options related to a capital project to address the Town’s aging Police and Courts facility. Specifically, Council asked the Committee to review and consider the following options and costs:

To remodel the existing police and courts facility or build a new facility at the existing site;
To purchase and remodel a vacant building;
To construct a new Police and Courts facility on property currently owned by the Town and/or through the acquisition of new property.

The Bond Advisory Committee is made up of 14 members, with each Council Member appointing two Addison residents. The Committee, in addition to touring other Police and Courts facilities across the North Texas area, held three meetings on October 30, November 20, and December 4, 2025, and is scheduled to meet on January 8, 2026, to review and evaluate various capital project options for the Police and Courts facility.

The Bond Advisory Committee recommends calling a bond election in May 2026 regarding a capital project for the remodel of an existing building or the construction of a new building for an Addison Police facility in an amount not to exceed $55 million.

This item is a follow-up to the January 13, 2026 Work Session for additional discussion and review by Council. If a bond election is to be called for May 2026, an Ordinance would need to be considered and approved at the February 10, 2026 Regular City Council Meeting to meet the February 13, 2026 deadline to call an election in May 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT

If Council elects to call a bond election for May 2026, the recommended amount is $55 million dollars.

RECOMMENDATION
