The original response time survey <br />was completed in 2004 but with the passage of time, proposed change in station sites and changes <br />in response time practices, it is important to update the study based on the two stations being <br />proposed. <br />At the present time, staff is working with the Fire Department and other team members to identify <br />sites for a new station #5 and #9. Existing fire station #5 is located on a triangular parcel bounded <br />by Prairie, Olive and Ewing. Fire Station #9 is currently located between 25th and 26th Streets on <br />Mishawaka Avenue. At the present time, the City is considering a new Station #5 site southwest of <br />the intersection of Olive and Prairie along State Road 23. The City is considering two sites on <br />Mishawaka Avenue for a new station site. In the case of #5, the triangular parcel is too small to <br />accommodate new construction and #9 is a locally historic designated structure that is landlocked <br />and because of the designation the building cannot be removed. <br />The proposal is necessary to finalize a station location for these two projects. The cost of the study <br />is $5,200.00 and staff requests Commission approval of this request. <br />What We Do Today Makes A Difference! <br />
