He provided a history of facility needs timeline going back to 2013 when <br />a series of needs assessments were begun. The Council made facilities their <br />number one goal in 2015 and 2016. Mr. Parker introduced the Co -Chair, Mr. <br />Arthur Taylor, who will be providing the rest of the presentation. <br />Mr. Taylor provided the background of the Task Force and how they met nine <br />times beginning on October 20, 2016 through January 5, 2017. Mr. Taylor <br />reviewed the initial potential projects list that was provided to the Task Force. <br />He then reviewed the projects selected by the Task Force for analysis: Police <br />Facility Renovation, Public/Community Services Facility, City Hall <br />Reconstruction, Fire Station #2, Fire Training Field, Fire Station #8 and <br />Library. <br />Mayor Thomaides noted that Fire Station #8 is not an 8th fire station. It will <br />actually be the 6th, but it is labeled that way due to the district that it is in. We <br />are contractually obligated to build the Fire Station, but are receiving partial <br />funding from the developer of the new Highpointe Trace subdivision. The <br />Task Force also provided a recommendation that the current site of Fire <br />Station #2 be maintained by the City for community space or be zoned Single <br />Family and not changed to any other zoning. <br />City of San Marcos Page 1 <br />
