It will either be a new library of a police training center that will eventually join the new police headquarters breaking ground this summer on the southern portion of the 8.07-acre parcel in the 600 block of South Main Street.

The two options were identified in a just completed project review checklist for the $92 million police complex going on the southernmost 5.77 acres.

The library option involves building a replacement structure for the current library facility on Center Street in downtown. As such, it would have a much higher profile.

It would also open the current library for other possible municipal uses.

If a library is built on South Main Street, the project checklist report indicated it would have a high profile crosswalk signal to allow direct access for pedestrians from the west side of South Main Street.

The signal would be similar to the pedestrian signal installed recently on North Main at Edison Street.

The police training facility option would include a 4,500 square-foot building and a 32,000 square-foot fenced in outdoor training area.

The department does not currently have its own training facility and instead uses those in other locations.

The department also doesn’t have its own shooting range. They use the Ripon Police shooting range near that city’s wastewater treatment plant.

The city does plan to build a shooting range eventually for the police department but it will not be at the South Main Street location.

The fire department is hoping to develop its own training facility when the current Louise Avenue station is relocated to donated land on the east side of North Main Street just north of Lancaster Drive.

The 50,000 square-foot police building and 5,000 square-foot support building project will also include three parking lots — 50 spaces for the public, 130 for police department personnel, and 64 for the police fleet.

The employee and fleet parking will be secured behind masonry fencing.

The fleet parking will have solar arrays abide it.

The main access to the police station will align with Wawona Street where traffic signals will be installed.

If the library is built, it will have its own parking lot.

It should be noted that the only facilities the council has definitely committed to building to date are the police station and the fire station for southwest Manteca.

They will be paid for with growth fees wedded with 17-year bonds tied to Measure Q sales tax receipts.
