Summary
City staff told the council the construction contract for Fire Station 224 (Eightyeth Street north of Elliot) is on the agenda, that construction will begin soon, and completion is expected in about a year. Staff said the station includes a community room.
City staff informed the Mesa City Council at its March 17 study session that the construction contract for Fire Station 224 is on the agenda and that work should begin shortly on the site north of Elliot Road.
"Fire station 224, the construction contract is on this agenda... it will be starting construction here very shortly," a staff member introduced as Beth told the council. Staff estimated about a year to complete the building and reach a ribbon-cutting stage.
Council members asked whether the station would include a community room; Beth said the planned building does have a community room. Council discussion emphasized using data to site public-safety facilities and reduce emergency response times in the affected area.
The presentation in the study session covered the location (Eightyeth Street north of Elliot), an approximate construction schedule (about one year to complete) and the presence of community meeting space. No formal contract award or final council vote is recorded in the study-session transcript; staff presented the construction contract information as part of the evening's agenda review.
