costs for repairs and replacements, the proposed funding sources, and photographs of the damages <br />caused by Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne. <br />Commissioner Davis inquired about training at Station 2 and asked what that new <br />facility would look like. <br />County Administrator Baird stated Station 2 will have 3 bays, a dock for the City of <br />Vero Beach marina patrol, and a place for their marine officer; it also is necessary to raise the <br />building 5-6 feet. Staff thinks it would not be appropriate for a community center to be nearby (as <br />has been requested) particularly because of parking and the movement of emergency vehicles and <br />staff was not proposing a training room at Station 2 but at the station at the airport. Station 2 will <br />be larger and fancier than the others and, at this point, the station is costly enough ($2.6 million) <br />but if the Board wished to expand the scope, it was up to them. <br />During Mr. Brown’s presentation, County Administrator Baird and Emergency <br />Services Director John King interjected additional information about certain stations as to the <br />necessity for replacement and upgrades. <br />County Administrator Baird noted that new stations would be of a standard design <br />and that will be coming back to the Board in the future. <br /> <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Davis, the Board unanimously approved the <br />proposed capital plan to make necessary repairs and <br />replacements for the Fire/EMS Stations as presented and <br />authorized a budget amendment to reflect those changes, as <br />recommended in the memorandum of October 12, 2005. <br />October 18, 2005 14 <br /> <br />
