Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution authorizes the Fire Department and City Engineering to design a remodeled Fire Station 6 with an expanded scope to accommodate a double company. The 2021 adopted capital budget and CIP includes $3,284,000 for Station 6, $427,000 for design in 2021 and $2,857,000 for construction 2022. This funding was based on a design for a single company.
The Department has indicated that it will need $1.4 million annually to staff an additional ambulance (10.0 FTE) and inspection activities (4.5 FTE) for the Town of Madison attachment. If approved, the ambulance staff may be housed at Station 6.
The Department has included an additional $1,100,000 in their 2022 capital budget request to fund the construction of the expanded station. Adoption of this resolution may lead to increased fees for re-design if the expanded station is not approved in the 2022 capital budget.
[Fiscal note updated on June 22, 2021, to reflect Fire Department perspective that proposed additional ambulance would not be located at Fire Station 6].
