(BICKNELL) - Bicknell Mayor Jon Flickinger is advocating relocating the city’s Police Department.
Flickinger says something needs to be done after heavy rains last month flooded the lower level of city hall where the police department is currently located.
Plans were drawn up several years ago that would allow the Police Department to relocate into the former Casey's General Store downtown. Myzak and Palmer architects designed the plans for the new police station and Flickinger says there's a possibility that they can use inmates from Carlisle Correctional Facility to do dry walling and other work to get the interior of the building ready.
However, Council members remain cautious. Councilman Frank Gugliotta says he wants more information on how much it's going to cost to relocate phone lines and computer services. Gugliotta added the council will also have to budget for future costs of maintaining the building.
