Council Work Session 6/29/2026

The City of Raymore held a special City Council work session on June 29, 2026, focused on reviewing the concept design for a new justice center. The meeting featured presentations by architects from MWL Architects and PGAV, who detailed three site plan options and floor plans for the facility. Key procurement-related topics included the design's responsiveness to public safety needs, building orientation for energy efficiency, and flexible multi-use spaces. Discussions addressed structural considerations such as hardened glazing for the second-floor dispatch center to withstand severe weather, site access and security concerns, parking capacity, and future expansion capabilities. The council also reviewed the project timeline, noting that pricing and financing information would be presented at a subsequent meeting. No formal votes or contract awards were made during this session, but the council provided input to inform final design and procurement decisions.
