Fire Station No. 1 - City Manager Luebbers reported he has recently received
another offer to purchase Fire Station No. 1's site. This offer, from the same
party, is double what was offered earlier, and he suggested the City might want
to consider continuing the rehabilitation project for a short time so that staff can
study the offer further. If we receive enough from the sale of the property, we
could build a new fire station. Public Works Director Mutter reported the
design plans for the rehabilitation are proceeding on schedule and reviewed the
estimated costs. Architect Leon Armantrout reviewed the status of the door
enlargement construction work and architectural and engineering work. Deputy
Fire Chief John Habant reported Dan Crow is in Washington, D.C. and has
talked with Congressman Jerry Lewis about funds that may be available for the
rehabilitation project; more information will be available next week.
Councilmembers concurred to proceed with the plans for the rehabilitation but
at this time not proceed with the construction or purchase of the doors until City
Manager Luebbers has more information.
Sale of Ladder Truck- Fire Chief Enslow reported the new ladder truck is in the
shop again today. This is considered normal; working the bugs out of the
system while the truck is under warranty. He recommended keeping the old
ladder truck on line until the new ladder truck's warranty has run out.
Councilmembers concurred with this recommendation.

Water System Master Plan which was adopted in July, 1998.
