David Hvistendahl has been named as one of 11 local citizens to sit on the Safety Center Task Force. David has been a long-term proponent of updating and expanding Northfield's Safety Center; when he announced his for Mayor in April 2008, he proclaimed "[t]he highest priority should be given to building a new police/fire complex." The Task Force has been asked to make recommendations regarding the building's size, preferred location, and methods of financing.
The Task Force may also recommend how the city could use the current Safety Center. Currently, the Safety Center is located at the corner of Highway 3 and 5th Street in Northfield, and houses the Northfield Police Department and the Northfield Fire Department.
The building was built in the early 1970s, and is now widely believed to be too small and outdated to serve today's public safety needs.
