GENERAL SERVICES - APPROVAL AND AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES FOR A NEW RAMONA COMMUNITY SHERIFF STATION AND RELATED CEQA EXEMPTION (DISTRICT: 2)
Body
OVERVIEW
The Ramona Community Resource Center at 1424 Montecito Road was constructed in 1972-73 to accommodate a San Diego County Sheriff's Department station, the Agriculture & Health Department offices, the San Diego County Superior Court, the Ramona Unified School District offices, and the Ramona Library. The current Sheriff's Department station is spread between two buildings and the structures are over 50 years old and if not replaced, would require significant investment in renovations to maintain operations over the coming years.
