Consultants designed a facility that would include the fire station, but the city deemed it too expensive. that the new building would last the city for 20 years. “Let’s not shoot ourselves in the foot five years down the road” and build some-

thing that won’t satisfy our needs, he said. KMD did a similar study for the city in 2003, recommending expansion and remodel, but it never hap-

pened. “There’s always a cost of doing nothing,” Kollios said. “Jails are not cheap to build or cheap to run. Don’t let it slide.”
