The public safety need for a coroner facility

  • Current facility will not comply with

upcoming accreditation standards.

  • No onsite toxicology (currently
  • utsourced extending time results

are received from days to weeks).

  • Need improved capability and capacity

to determine cause of death and suspicious death analysis.

  • Real-time data reporting for epidemics

and crime.

slide-16
SLIDE 16

18

The public safety need for a coroner facility

  • Limits ability for Johnson County to ensure

autopsies are expedited.

  • Allows county to identify emerging diseases

and crime trends more quickly.

  • The growing population of Johnson County

requires a coroner facility.

  • Allows county to provide more compassionate

experience for family of deceased.

Existing courthouse continued use

Expand, renovate & update existing courthouse*

  • New 4-story addition to expand to 28 total courtrooms
  • Renovate existing building while occupied
  • Improves but does not resolve:
  • Accessibility
  • Security
  • Layout
  • Infrastructure
  • Funding - sales tax, property tax for 20 years, or diverting existing resources

(may require cutting services)

*A 2009 project estimated $216M over 13 years and 6 phases. Scope and costs to be refined should this plan be necessary.
