Odessans asked for new courthouse input
May 14—The general consensus of a Wednesday public meeting to guide the look and amenities of the coming courthouse seems to be creating a space that the next generation will find was a good investment. Members of the Butler-Cohen design-build team met with a variety of Odessans from those who work at the courthouse to elected officials to folks who are just interested in the project. A new courthouse is coming and is funded by $325 million in certificates of obligation issued by county commissioners last November. The certificates will also fund an overhaul of the Ector County Juvenile Justice Center. Since that time it's been a bit of a roller coaster of land purchases and a current state of uncertainty of where the courthouse will be built. The preferred plan is to build it at the site of the current downtown U.S. Post Office. The county purchased that land for $4.7 million last year. What is holding things up is an agreement with the USPS to abandon that office and relocate as they still have a lease on the space despite the sale of the land. Originally the county was going to assist the USPS in finding a new location but that has been abandoned as the amount the USPS pays to lease the downtown location and the needs of the USPS for what that new office will entail have been problematic, per County Judge Dustin Fawcett. Fawcett has said the county now hopes to get the USPS to sign on the dotted line to leave their current spot and move into the bottom floor of the planned parking garage that will sit near the new courthouse. That agreement, Fawcett said, should have some answer in the next 30 days or so. If a deal cannot be reached the new courthouse will have to be relocated. Commissioner Samantha Russell has pitched locating the new courthouse at the site of the current health department. That plan, Fawcett said, was looked at about 18 months ago by the court prior to Russell taking office. On Tuesday members of the committee created to look at building a new library admonished the court telling them that health department land was promised to the group for a new library build. The library group did not walk away Tuesday with the deed to the land but did get a promised $10 million in county funds moved into an account that can be used as the new library moves forward. They were asked to be patient until word from USPS and their plans are decided. On Tuesday the commissioners court also agreed to allow Butler-Cohen the use of the old Henderson Drug building as a construction office for the life of the courthouse project. The Butler-Cohen reps led the Wednesday meeting and said other meetings as well as a website and a QR code will be used to keep the public informed and to solicit suggestions from Odessans about what they called a project that will change the face of downtown Odessa. Participants asked for a new courthouse that is cost efficient, taxpayer friendly, easy to maintain and accessible to all. Parking was a major concern that came up over and over. Russell had pitched not building a parking garage in a previous commissioners meeting but that idea seemed to be overwhelmingly panned Wednesday by those who work downtown and use the courthouse daily. Some said courthouse staff can have to walk several blocks just to get to the office and that a parking garage is important. Butler-Cohen reps said there is value in having these meetings for the collaboration and to end up with a system that is user friendly and what the community needs. Other ideas thrown out included an outdoor area that is secure for employees to use as well as color coordinated signage and drive through or walk up windows for those doing business at the court. On June 23 the group will meet stakeholders for operational discussions. The new courthouse will be funded by $325 million in certificates of obligation issued by county commissioners in November. The debt will increase property taxes for Ector County residents. Owners of a $210,000 home in Ector County will pay about $17 more a month in property taxes. A $210,000 home has a $170,000 taxable value. The certificates will also fund an overhaul of the Ector County Juvenile Justice Center.

2 juveniles arrested with ghost gun, replica firearm near San Francisco's Stonestown Galleria
Police in San Francisco on Wednesday confirmed the arrests of two juveniles this past weekend near the Stonestown Galleria in connection with brandishing a replica firearm and possessing a ghost gun. According to the press release issued by the San Francisco Police Department, shortly after 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 8, officers patrolling the area of the Stonestown Galleria located at 3200 20th Ave were flagged down regarding a subject with a firearm. Officers searched the area and found a male juvenile subject who matched the description provided by security. That juvenile and a second juvenile male subject refused to respond to commands and started to flee from the officers on foot. Officers quickly detained both juveniles without further incident. Police were able to find both an AR-style replica firearm and a ghost gun in the area where the suspects were detained. Officers developed probable cause to arrest two juvenile males. One of the juveniles was cited for resisting arrest and openly displaying an imitation firearm in public. The other juvenile suspect was booked into the Juvenile Justice Center (JJC) for resisting arrest and carrying a concealed firearm.

Lake County Good for Youth Farm project will now be built near Deep River Waterpark
The proposed Good for Youth Farm project will move from the lot near the Juvenile Justice Center on 93rd Avenue to the land behind the Lake County Parks and Recreation office near Deep River Waterpark. The farm project is a continuation of efforts by Lake County Juvenile Court Senior Judge Thomas Stefaniak Jr. who created a flower farm in a lot adjacent to the center. Stefaniak initiated the project during the COVID-19 pandemic to teach youth offenders skills like gardening, equipment operation and sales. Lake County Councilman Ted Bilski, D-6th, said the project moved because 'unfortunately it just got too encumbered over there.' Now, the project will be built on the land at Lincoln Highway and Randolph Street — near the waterpark, he said. 'We didn't have the space. So, with the Lake County Parks, we found a home for the garden,' Bilski said. 'I think it's a better marriage with the parks.' In August, the county received a $323,000 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture to go toward its Good For Youth Farm project. Robert Colangelo, founder of CEA Technology, Inc. who is designing the project, said the property already has a greenhouse, so the USDA grant will go toward establishing two gardens inside the greenhouse and equipment. One half of the greenhouse will have a vertical farm and the other half will have a tomato garden, with a gutter system, Colangelo said. The funds will also go toward equipment needed to run the greenhouse and to install a solar field to provide a portion of the greenhouse's electric power, he said. The USDA grant will go toward establishing the gardens inside the existing greenhouse, Colangelo said, and once the project is up and running more elements to the farm will be added. In the second phase of the project, the plan would be to build a building for an additional indoor vertical farm and new greenhouses, according to council documents. The plan is for the farm to grow four crops: lettuce, basil, tomatoes and cucumbers, Colangelo said. The farm will provide training, education, and outreach, he said, and all produce will go to the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana. Bilski said the farm will get food to people who need it and serve as an innovation center creating jobs and educational opportunities. 'I'm super excited about this. We've never had anything like this north of U.S. 30,' Bilski said. Councilman Randy Niemeyer, R-7th, asked what the long-term funding plan was for the farm. Colangelo said that after the third year, the farm could sell some produce. Any work on the farm would require the county to go out to bid and approve contracts, Bilski said, so the County Board of Commissioners and the council would be made aware of the costs to build the farm. Councilman Pete Lindemulder, R-4th, said at previous meetings about the farm he shared data that the cost of growing lettuce would be more expensive than buying a head of lettuce at a grocery store. 'I just want to know that if we're going into this, we're going into this with the knowledge that we are spending a lot of money to get something that's going to cost way more than what you can buy in the open market,' Lindemulder said. The project would be a good source of educating the public, specifically children, Niemeyer said, but the council will have to be 'really clear on where we identify the sustainable source of revenue for the project.' akukulka@
