FY2020 Budget

CIP Project:

Northwest Fire Station

Project Category:

Public Safety

Site:

Cisco Site (Kit Creek/Louis Stephens Drive)

Design and construct a fire station in the Northwestern area of the fire district, approximately 12,000 square feet in size. Improve response times to all types of emergencies by locating a fire station more strategically in the northwestern area of the fire district.

Description:

Picture/Map:

The fire protection study demonstrated through analysis of response data that performance to this area is not favorable with 60% of the response calls for service resulting over 4 minutes. The addition of a fire station would greatly reduce response times and the aide accreditation aligning to the Town's Strategic Plan.

Justification:

The site presents some topography challenges and will require a feasibility study to determine viability of constructing a fire station on the donated Cisco land. Should the property not be utilized for a fire station the property ownership reverts back to Cisco. This property could not be surpluses.

Other Considerations:
