Lake Wales Commissioners Table Police Department Building Renovation Proposal
What happened
Lake Wales City Commissioners voted to table discussion on a proposal for architectural and engineering services for an annex building. The building, which was recently purchased by the Police Department, was proposed to be refurbished for $89,000 by Parlier + Crews Architect, P.A. The planned renovations include a training room, several interview rooms, and a conference room.

Why it matters
The tabling of the proposal delays the city's authorization to expend $89,000 for the architectural services. If the proposal is not approved, the building layout will remain in a form that is not optimal for the Police Department's use.
Robin Gibson is Deputy Mayor and Keith Thompson is a Commissioner in Lake Wales.
