Comments: Mr. Kennedy reviewed this Committee's charge and noted that many of the liaisons have a stake in the facilities and projects that are being reviewed. Those so affected have prepared written material summarizing their issues. Mr. Kennedy asked those liaisons to report verbally to the Committee. 2. Police Station: Chief Corr identified issues/concerns related to the Police Station: A. Space: The current station is 12-13,000 square feet and a police station with Lexington's demands should be 25-30,000 square feet. The lack of storage space is a concern. For example, evidence needs to be stored; a case can be brought back to the court system years after it is thought to have been resolved. The Town needs a lab for processing evidence because the state lab is backlogged. B. Mechanical and Structural Issues: The heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system is inefficient. The roof leaks and the composite has been compromised. Computer systems need physical and environmental protections.
