Information

Request/Subject

To present the preliminary design of the proposed new animal shelter to the Gila County Board of Supervisors.

Background Information

In October 2019, the Board of Supervisors secured financing in the amount of $10M that will be used for capital improvement projects in northern and southern Gila County. One of the approved capital improvement projects is the construction of a new Gila County Animal Shelter at the Gila County Fairgrounds. Approximately $2.8M of the $10M has been budgeted to build the new animal shelter. Over the past several months, Gila County staff from Facilities, Community Development, Public Works, and the Health Department have been meeting with the designers from The Architect Company and Lovin Contracting to analyze our current animal shelter data to determine the community animal needs for a new shelter and create a design. During the last partners' meeting on February 25, 2020, a preliminary design was presented to Gila County by The Architect Company and staff agreed that this design would meet our operational needs and conditionally be within the 2.8M budget.

Evaluation

The new animal shelter will be located at the Gila County Fairgrounds. This presentation will provide an overview of the conceptual plans for the new animal shelter and site layout.

Conclusion

Gila County staff will present a preliminary design for the proposed new animal shelter to the Board of Supervisors for comment and discussion.
