The last Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting provided no resolution for Finance Committee chairman Ken Smith, who sought to move forward with architectural plans to build a new police department behind the Blue Building.“What’s being handed to you is a proposal from AEI,” said Smith. Two weeks prior, Safety Committee members Ken Smith and Rick Barnes accepted the preliminary drawings by AEI Architects Engineer Planners. They voted to begin negotiations with that company for a full set of drawings that will be needed prior to construction.
