Full Resolution Text
Be it resolved that Report FCSFPM25-028 be referred back to staff, and that Recommendations (b) and (c) not be approved at this time; and that staff report back with: 1. A detailed compliance matrix mapping the specific requirements of the Community Safety and Policing Act, the Ontario Building Code, and any other applicable standards to each facility element and its associated square footage, clearly identifying which elements are mandated and which are discretionary; and 2. A Class C (or better) estimate and life-cycle analysis for two options: (i) 95,000 sq ft (2019 program right-sized for mandates), (ii) 110,000 sq ft, each with risk/contingency; 3. A budget showing only police facility costs, excluding Civic Administration or future development, with a defined funding plan and budget cap; 4. Written confirmation that no decision to relocate City Hall or Civic Administration functions to 1421 Lansdowne Street is included in this item, and that any such proposal will require a separate report, costing, public engagement, and Council decision.
