Agenda: Bill No. 17 -13 — Fire Station #5 & Training Facility Lease
Karen White, Chairperson of the Public Safety Committee called her group to order noting full
attendance.
The one item on the agenda was Bill No. 17 -13 which authorized a lease to finance the construction of a
new Fire Station #5 and a Fire Safety Training Facility.
As is required by state law this is the second public hearing on this lease- purchase.
Randy Rompola was called up on by Karen t explain the entire bond proposal. Bonds would be issued by
and sold through a specially formed building corporation. The bonds would be underwritten by
ambulance fees and secondarily by the City allowing the lowest possible interest rate.
There were no remonstrators or proponents from the public so Karen turned to the Council. Following a
brief technical Q & A the committee was pleased to unanimously support a motion by Tim Scott and
seconded by Fred Ferlic to send favorably.
There being no further business to come before the committee at this time, Chairperson White adjourned
the meeting at 3:57 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
aren L. White, Chairperson
Health & Public Safety Committee
