An ILA was previously approved by Resolution 25-R-029 (attached) that authorized a Lease Use of the County Facility, located at 1052 FM 78, Schertz, TX. The Lease document was drafted by  Guadalupe County and was reviewed by the City's Purchasing and Legal Departments. The Schertz Police Department has outgrown its current facility for administrative and operational needs.  There is a new Public Safety building in the long-term CIP plan that is projected for four to eight years to be complete, if approved.  In order to maintain current and future operational capacity, the Police Department will need temporary facilities to provide work space until the completion of the new Public Safety building.  We have identified a building that is owned by Guadalupe County that would provide such operational space for approximately eight years.  The property room, Criminal Investigations, and the Crime Victims Liaison will be relocated to this location, freeing up space at our current facility.  Guadalupe County has indicated that they are willing to provide the shell office space area with HVAC, water, two sets of male and female restrooms, and will provide water at no additional fee.  Electricity will be based upon any current increase in use of the section once the lease is executed.  The City of Schertz would be responsible for building the shell facility and covering said costs and, upon vacating the location, the office structure would remain in place. 

To provide spacing for the immediate and future growth of the police department while a new Public Safety building is being considered for construction. The Current CIP plan is presently projecting a four to eight-year build out for this project.

This would allow the Police Department to continue to maintain operational fitness and limit costs while awaiting the construction of a new Public Safety building.

Approval of Resolutions 25-R-109

The projected cost for this project is $500,000; $400,000 for the Guadalupe County building shell build out and $100,000 for remodeling the current Police Department when the identified units transition to the new location.  These projects were included as part of the CIP that was previously approved by Council as part of the budget process. Additionally, there is a nominal fee for electricity that will be based upon any current increase in usage of current demands.

Approval of Resolution 25-R-109.
