CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />Topic Report: Fire Station #2 <br />Replacement Study <br />By: Heidi Nelson Assistant City <br />Administrator & Dean Kapler, Fire Chief <br />Background: <br />Earlier in 2006, Council directed staff to contract the BKV Group to generate an analysis of three <br />options for the replacement of Fire Station #2; partial demo, utilize part of building and abandon <br />the rest, and rebuild new station. BKV presented the document to Council for discussion. <br />Council then directed staff to detail two options; 1) build new station in the near future, using <br />existing buildings until then; and, 2) build new station in a timeframe of 5 -7 years, again using <br />existing buildings until the new building would be available. Obviously both options will require <br />using the existing buildings for some period of time. <br />Staff has since met and discussed details of both options and determined if each item listed in <br />BKV's report should be recommended to be completed. These options were then further <br />discussed with BKV representatives. It should be noted that with the move into the new <br />municipal center and the change in use of the existing city hall /fire station, some items must be <br />addressed in a short-term fashion. Those issues would include: <br />• Improve security lighting in areas such as outside lower level parking lot <br />• Minor revisions to HVAC systems to increase efficiency and reduce costs of the less <br />occupied spaces <br />Following is a table summarizing discussions of both plans. Council should note that items listed <br />under both plans may be considered a conservative list of necessary actions to "bridge" the gap <br />between now and when either plan is implemented. <br />
