Commission approves purchase agreement for new Station 6 EMS site in Farmington
Loading...
Summary
San Juan County authorized a real-estate purchase agreement to acquire a 0.81-acre parcel on the 1900 block of Farmington Avenue for a purpose-built Station 6 EMS facility, pending receipt of a capital outlay grant and with closing to occur after grant funds are secured.
The San Juan County Commission approved a purchase agreement to acquire land for a new Station 6 EMS facility in Farmington.
Staff reported the current Station 6, added to the system in February 2009, is a converted commercial building with inadequate sleeping rooms and no enclosed ambulance bay; the ambulance is kept under an exterior canopy year-round and portions of the sleeping quarters do not meet current egress standards. An appraisal and survey were completed and included in the commission packet.
Staff recommended a purchase agreement with the Mark and Valerie Usselman Living Trust to buy a 0.81-acre parcel on the 1900 block of Farmington Avenue (just south of Sunward Credit Union) for $307,500 plus customary buyer closing costs. The county would defer closing until expected capital outlay grant funds are received so the purchase price can be applied against the County’s $200,000 legislative capital outlay appropriation. Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the purchase agreement; staff noted they would await grant award before closing.
