In fiscal year 2008 - 2009, Portland City Council set aside $6 million for the construction of (what they called at the time) an Emergency Response Center (ERC) next to BOEC headquarters. Another $4 million was provided by narrow voter approval of [https://www.multco.us/file/20398/download Ballot Measure 26-117], called the Public Safety General Obligation (GO) Bond. The bond was sent to voters on July 15, 2010 via [https://www.portlandoregon.gov/auditor/article/302430 City Council Resolution #36800]. After the bond passed, City Council approved the fund allocation on December 1, 2010. | In fiscal year 2008 - 2009, Portland City Council set aside $6 million for the construction of (what they called at the time) an Emergency Response Center (ERC) next to BOEC headquarters.

=== Site Selection and Preparation === | |||
Locating the EOC adjacent to the existing BOEC facility allowed for sharing infrastructure and services to both facilities. Water Bureau personnel provides security for the entire campus. | |||
In order to provide adequate parking for the expanded building, the City acquired several properties immediately to the south of the existing BOEC property. SE Bush Street, between SE 99th and SE 100th avenues, was realigned about 125 feet to the south. This allows the new parking lot to be adjacent to the new EOC building and creates the most secure facility possible. | |||
