During this work session, the project team will present the status of this analysis and give projected costs and site planning impacts for each design option. The design team would like the council to provide feedback and direction on the proposed design options and ultimately select the preferred design option to complete the study.

Based on the design option selected by Council, Kimmel Bogrette will create plans and exterior renderings and update cost information as needed to be presented in the final Annex Long-Term Use Study report to Council at the July 8, 2024 Town Council meeting.
