The Frisco Citizen Bond Committee discussed four more possible bond projects during the Jan. 5 meeting.



The projects include building new facilities for a senior center; a Parks and Recreation maintenance and administration building; and the Frisco Municipal Court building.



Rick Wieland, Parks and Recreation director, pitched two $9 million bond projects for at least a senior center and a maintenance and administration building.



Wieland said the senior center would need at least an additional 30,000 square feet to meet the current needs, and a maintenance facility would need about eight to 10 acres.



Court administrator Matthew Freeman proposed a $6 million bond project for a larger courthouse. Freeman said the space issues in the current 7,813-square-foot courthouse have affected staff retention and morale and even the jury deliberation process.



"We go through approximately 22,000 cases a year," he said. "So, we're moving a lot of paper through there and a lot of people."



The last project proposed expanding the George A. Purefoy Municipal Center, which could then possibly house one of the other projects. The municipal center currently houses the Frisco Public Library and city hall.



Deputy City Manager Henry Hill said Holzman Moss Architecture designed the municipal center so it could be expanded. Expanding the building to include other entities rather than constructing a new building for a project could save money, Hill said.



"It is common to have municipal facilities that are comprehensive in nature," he said.



The committee will begin finalizing its list of bond project proposals Jan. 12. The committee plans to visit various city facilities that week to assess the need for bond funding.



By Jan. 30, the committee plans to have its list ready for the Frisco City Council's consideration.
