WORK SESSION
Present for the Work Session were City Council Members, with the exception of Councilmember Don Mounce who left the meeting. Those also present included: G. Tracy Williams, David Watson, Don Hill, Fire Chief Keister, and Gary Snyder and Tim Bement from Architectural Resources.
PRESENTATION - FIRE STATION NO. 2 EXPANSION and
NEW FIRE STATION NO. 1
City Manager Williams introduced Don Hill who in turn introduced Tim Bement and Gary Snyder from Architectural Resources. Mr. Hill went over the information that had been included in Council's packets. Mr. Hill then asked Gary Snyder for his presentation.
Mr. Snyder began his presentation by going over the goals of the program. For Station No. 1, these included developing a new firehouse and training center, and providing increased housing capacity. For Station No. 2, the goal was to transform the facility into a state-of-the-art fire prevention facility.
Mr. Snyder then went over some of the particular items of each project, including the site development issues for Station No. 2, and use of existing architectural details in the area for Station No. 1.
At the conclusion of Mr. Snyder's presentation Council asked several questions about individual components of the design. Following considerable discussion it was decided that it would be better suited for the community if the parking lot for Station No. 1 were moved to the west side of the site, to accommodate citizens and visitors coming to the training center. Also, with regard to Station No. 2 it was decided that the gable roof design was not acceptable for the project. A flat roof design with the penetrating atrium is the acceptable design in that area.
Conclusion of presentation on fire stations.
Councilmember Jensen announced that the date for the next School Liaison Committee meeting has been set for next week.
There being no other items, the Work Session was adjourned.
Council reconvened into the regular meeting. It was moved by Councilmember Sanner, seconded by Councilmember Mounce to adjourn. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned.
