MEMORANDUM
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND BOARD OF CITY COMMISSIONERS
FROM: Ron Strosnider,Fire Chief etrA� '
DATE: May 14, 1997 v
RE: PURCHASE OF PROPERTY AT THE N.W. CORNER OF BLUFORD AND
COLUMBUS AVE. FOR THE RELOCATION OF FIRE STATION ONE
Fire Station One at the city complex is in serious need of expansion and renovations . This facility was
built in 1978 and does not meet any of the A.D.A. requirements . This facility only has one restroom
facility for staff and crew. The parking in this area is also at a premium for the department and the public
as well.
A pleminary cost estimate from Gee& Jenson to build an addition on the south side of the existing
facility, renovate the existing structure and bring it up to date would be approximately one million dollars.
We have located a two and a quarter acre tract at the corner of Bluford and Columbus Ave. We feel that
this site would be ideal for the relocation of Fire Station One.The asking price for this parcel is $100 000
dollars.which after looking at several other parcels of land we feel that this price is reasonable.
We arc asking commission's approval to have this parcel appraised and move forward to purchasing this
location for the site of Fire Station One. We have contacted the firm of Consortium Appraisal and
Consulting Services Inc. for a cost and time frame to perform the appraisal. The cost for this service is
$2.500. The moneys for this cost will come from the station one impact fee account.
