In addition to the above, the City established a policy in 1991 that 'all future urban plats will receive "Traditionalre" subdivision lighting. The developer pays the capital cost and three years operations and maintenance costs prior to filing the subdivision plat. As homes are placed on the utility system a monthly operating charge for street lights is also put into effect. It is expected that this procedure will allow for lot vacancies which will exist beyond the three year period covered by the developer contribution.

In 1994 the City purchased an existing industrial building at 142nd Avenue N.W. and Jaspar Street N.W. to fill this need. It is contemplated, however, that a salt storage building will be built on the site in addition to existing facilities. With continued growth of the community, the Fire Departmeht has been studying the needs and requirements of a satellite facility located in the vicinity of Central Park. The Police department also completed a study of its space needs into the future. Currently, it is proposed that architectural work be completed for remodeling the existing fire department area at City Halt and expansion of the Police facilities at the same location in 1996 and 1997. Additional satellite facilities are not proposed within the year 2000 time frame. It is further proposed that construction of these projects occur in 1998 after a levy referendum. An alternative to the above would be a project similar to that accomplished for the public works facility. The 1994 purchase of $310,000 with a $280,000 remodeling bhdget will provide 9 very usable public works facility at 30-50% of the cost of new construction. Similar opportunities should be explored as they become available for future City needs.
