<br /> <br />0 <br />1 <br />1 <br />Relocation of Fire Station Two <br />Presently the response time to the western end of the City, the Brookglen area, may not be the same response <br />time we offer to other neighborhoods. To add a fifth fire station in the City would cost $1.75 million dollars initially for <br />land, station, and equipment. The annual operating budget would be approximately $400,000 for this station. <br />To prevent the recurring annual costs of operating a fifth fire station, the proposal is to relocate Fire Station <br />Two to a location west of its present location.. Several locations in the area of Spencer Highway and Underwood Road <br />are under consideration. By relocating Fire Station Two westward and locating the previously approved new Fire <br />Station Three to the east of its present location, response distances will be within acceptable guidelines. This will <br />remove the need to add a fifth fire station in the City. <br />Once a new station is constructed, the old Station Two would be updated with needed modifications and used <br />for the EMS station. The projected costs for this project are: <br />- Land $ 200,000 <br />- New Station $1,500,000 <br />- Renovate old fire station for EMS 2$ 00,000 <br />TOTAL COST $1,900,000 <br />(13) <br />
