Consideration of Proposals: Remodel/Expansion of Municipal Court Building (Previously item #6)

The existing court facility is located at 15 North Beaver St., Flagstaff, Arizona. This facility was originally built as a retail store and later purchased by the City of Flagstaff and remodeled to be the City Hall facility. It was remodeled again in 1984 to be the court facility. At just under 10,000 GSF, it is currently in need of significant repair and maintenance and is no longer adequate to keep up with the significant increase in case load over the years. There are only three (3) courtrooms and security, zoning, prisoner transport and holding do not comply with current court standards.

While the need for new court facilities has been a priority for numerous years, funding for the various options considered has never reached the threshold of moving the project forward.  At this point we have made a combination of reducing costs associated with the courthouse project and increasing the revenues available so the current proposed project has a much smaller gap in funding than at any time in the past.  Before we move any further with the courthouse project we wish to get council feedback regarding the process we have outlined so far and where the council would like to see use go in the near future.
