13 (4 th Street and 43"d Avenue), and 14 (26th Street and 66th Avenue).
Commissioner O'Bryan was supportive of moving forward with
Station 13, and making the appropriate budget amendments; but he
wanted to wait on Stations 7 and 14 until after the proposed
workshop.
Administrator Baird said he would not mind holding off on Station
14, but he wanted Station 7 to move forward with a sense of urgency
due to mold issues. He also asked the Board to consider moving
forward with Station 13.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher to move forward
with staffs recommendation. Motion DIED for lack of a Second.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by
Vice Chairman Solari, to move forward with Station 13, including
the building and operation for fiscal year 2015-2016; and to
expeditiously move the existing staff and equipment of Station 7 to a
temporary modular structure until a permanent site can be
determined.
Discussion ensued regarding roof repairs on Stations 10 and 11; the
urgency of repairs; and the option to lease a piece of property and
place modular structures on it for Station 7.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Motion carried
unanimously.
John O'Connor, President of the International Association of
Firefighters Association Local 2201, felt it would be a waste of
money to invest in Station 7's infrastructure, and requested a new
location and station that would meet their needs. He also explained
why three bays at Station 13 would be more beneficial than two.
Assistant Fire Chief Brian Burkeen stated that the new wind load
designs would not allow for three bays, unless the blueprints were
reengineered, costing substantially more.
Director King said the two-bay design would be deep enough to hold
two ambulances back to back, without modifying the current site.

Commissioner O'Bryan verified that the two-bay Station design
would incorporate one engine and two ambulances, and would have
sufficient sleeping quarters for the full crew.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by
Vice Chairman Solari, to approve staffs recommendation.
Commissioner O'Bryan did not want to delay this project, but he
wanted staff to look into upgrading to the three-bay design for the
future.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Motion carried
unanimously. The Board approved Work Order No. 4, with Barth
Construction, Inc., for the commencement of construction of Fire
Rescue Station 13 (4th Street and 43rd Avenue).
Commissioner Zorc wanted to know how to establish a future date
for a Workshop, to analyze Fire-Rescue Station locations and
funding projections.

the Board with a proposed date.
