WHAT: Beaverton Mayor Denny Doyle and Chief of Police Geoff Spalding discuss the city's plan to repurpose old city hall into a new public safety center.
WHERE: Beaverton City Library (12375 SW 5th Street).
WHEN: Wednesday, Aug. 13 from 2 to 4 p.m.
WHO: Mayor Denny Doyle, along with the Chief of Police, Geoff Spalding.
WHY: Mayor Doyle and Chief of Police, Geoff Spalding will hold a tabling event to discuss any questions or concerns regarding the Renew for Our Blue plan.
Mayor Denny Doyle and Chief of Police, Geoff Spalding, will hold a tabling event at Beaverton City Library (12375 SW 5th Street on Wed., Aug. 13 from 2 to 4 p.m. to discuss City Council's decision to refer a $35 million bond measure in November. The measure would allow the city to repurpose old city hall into a public safety center.
"Establishing a public safety center is a top priority," said Mayor Denny Doyle. "Consolidating the police, emergency management, and court facilities into one secure location is long overdue. This repurposed building will serve our community long into the future--this is an investment."
During the tabling, the Mayor and Chief of Police will discuss the November election where residents can vote on the Renew for Our Blue project. The public is invited to this informal event and are encouraged to ask questions throughout the discussion.
"The city's police and emergency management teams have been making do in multiple buildings across the city," said Mayor Doyle. "Consolidating police, emergency management, and court facilities into one building is a priority to share with voters this November."
The plan to remodel the Griffith Drive building took hold after the City Council's decision to move city administrative services to the Beaverton Building at The Round.
"It's critical that all of our department's primary functions are all under one roof," said Chief of Police, Geoff Spalding, on the need for a renewed Public Safety Center. "And an office building is not suitable for the needs of a police facility."
