<br /> <br />Item 5.4. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Bruce A. West, Fire Chief <br /> <br />DATE: June 13, 200S <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Discussion on Expansion of Fire Station <br /> <br />Steve Dittbenner, Ambulance Coordinator for the Elk River Fire and Ambulance Service, <br />Incorporated, and I will be present at the June 13,2005 Council worksession to discuss <br />expansion of Fire Station 1. There have been numerous meetings held with the Ambulance <br />Board to discuss addition alternatives at Station 1, of which would include an ambulance bay <br />along with offices, bathrooms, mechanical room, and storage area. <br /> <br />I have been working with Chris Leeseberg, Michele McPherson, and other city staff to <br />discuss timelines the ambulance would be facing for the possibility of a late fall <br />groundbreaking. The addition would be on the west side of Station 1 towards the Adams <br />Furniture building. At this time the site has been surveyed and soil borings have been <br />conducted to ensure the proposed site meets all standards for the addition. <br /> <br />Finance and Administrative Services Director Lori Johnson will also be present at the June <br />13, 2005 worksession to discuss financing options for the proposed addition. The Elk River <br />Fire and Ambulance, Incorporated is looking forward to the opportunity of discussing the <br />proposed addition with the Mayor and City Council on June 13, 2005. Additional <br />information will be distributed at the worksession showing proposals that have been <br />discussed by the Ambulance Board and Building Committee. <br /> <br />If you have any questions prior to the June 13 Council worksession, please feel free to call <br />me at the Elk River Fire Department 763.635.1105. <br /> <br />s: \ Council\Bruce \2005 \Ambulance Addition.doc <br />
