At the September 24 Dinner Briefing, staff presented the proposed Beatties Ford Road Metro Police Station to Mayor and Council. The presentation included information regarding the service area, number of officers, and activities that will take place in the building. At the meeting, Council inquired about the feasibility of Green Options for the facility, including the budgetary impact.
I am referring the discussion of Green Options for the Metro Station to the Community Safety Committee. At the November 19 meeting, staff will present the Committee with a menu of items for consideration. Staff will highlight the benefit of each item as well as the impact on the budget and schedule for completing the building.

Mr. Reese has now filed notices of appeal and the cases will move to the North Carolina Court of Appeals. We will continue to update you as this matter progresses.
