MAJOR CAPITAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />FOR YEARS 2005 - 2008 <br />New Fire Station No. 12 -Additional Station $1,700,000 (2006) <br />Residential growth to the north and commercial and industrial development to the northwest will <br />necessitate a new (additional) Fire Station 12. The growth in the City's northwest is occurring more <br />rapidly than that of the southeastern area. Fire Station No. 11 (at Bendix & Cleveland) is <br />strategically located to serve much of the Blackthorn development and the residential growth <br />expected in German Township. Anew station to the northwest of Station No. 11 will be needed to <br />maintain coverage to Insurance Services Offices (I.S.O.) Standards. Quint coverage to the northwest <br />area is presently adequate only because of the lack ofbuilt-upon land in the district. As properties <br />develop, a northwest quint will become a necessity. <br />Funding Source <br />Activity Date County Option Income Tax (COIT) <br />2006 1 700 000 EMS Capital Fund <br />TOTAL $1,700,000 <br />Projected Ong_oin_g_ erating Cost Impact <br />In addition to the cost of building the new station, twelve (12) additional firefighters will be needed <br />at an estimated annual cost of $500,000 and operational expenses are anticipated at $30,000 per year. <br />One new pumper will be required at an estimated cost of $318,000. <br />Relocation of Station No. 3 $1,700,000 (2007) <br />The 1998 Fire Survey recommends that Station No. 3, located farther north after Station No. 9, be <br />replaced with a new station.
