Lenexa will undertake an extensive review and planning process for the former city hall facility on 87th Street as leaders look to ensure the city has the space to house its public safety needs — from the police department to municipal court — for years to come. The council unanimously agreed on Tuesday to hire PGAV Architects Inc. for $204,600 to review the current and future space needs of the Lenexa Public Safety Complex and then develop a comprehensive master plan for the current facility.

The proposed study would provide recommendations on facility size, location and cost to accommodate the Lenexa Police Department, municipal court and other city departments, according to deputy city administrator Todd Pelham.
