expansion of the Public Safety Building as well as possible expansions to the City Hall. He
stated the approximate cost for the Public Safety Building would be $7,330,500, and if

The Council discussed the option of relocating the Park and Recreation Department to an
addition at the Plymouth Creek Center in the future.
Councilmember Stein stated he likes the idea of incorporating a promenade that would serve as a
gateway" to the Hilde Performance Center area.
Councilmember Bildsoe suggested that the Council focus their attention on only expanding the
Public Safety building, and in the future, there could be alternatives for expansion of the City
Hall.
Councilmember Black stated she agrees, but she noted that there is an immediate space concern
for the Engineering Department.
Councilmember Slavik also agreed on the need to focus only on the expansion to the Public
Safety Building at this time, but not include the promenade.
A discussion was held on the parking area for City Center, on street parking on Plymouth
Boulevard and 34h Avenue, and additional handicap parking spaces (for events at Hilde
Performance Center).
