Facilities flags aging fire-station systems, requests repairs including station foundations, roofs and doors
Summary
Clint Bogle, facilities maintenance supervisor, presented facility maintenance priorities and asked the committee to consider several repairs across city buildings, focusing on fire stations and Mac Hatcher Pavilion.
Clint Bogle, facilities maintenance supervisor filling in for Facilities Manager Brad Wilson, presented facility maintenance priorities to the Budget & Finance Committee on Feb. 6 and asked the committee to consider a series of repairs and replacements across city-owned buildings, with a focus on fire stations and a community pavilion.
Bogle said the facilities group has managed moves and setup related to the city’s interim city-hall arrangements and highlighted recent work including HVAC improvements at Fire Station 8 (mini-splits installed for sleeping rooms) and multiple relocation projects tied to the city-hall closure. He said overall facilities supports nearly every city department and noted exceptions such as parks-managed facilities and leased temporary city-hall space where the city is a tenant.
Specific capital or program-enhancement requests presented include:
• Station 6 foundational repair: sidewalk settlement revealed structural damage; interior wall cracking indicates foundation issues.
• Generator load-bank testing for all generators to verify transfer switches and full-load capacity, noting one previous incident during a heavy snow event that caused a radio-tower issue.
• Mac Hatcher Pavilion roof replacement: current wood-shingled roof has rot and water damage and requires full replacement.
• Station 5 bathroom remodel and Station 2 kitchen remodel: upgrades to showers and countertops for longevity and staff comfort.
• Station 4 apparatus door replacement and window replacement: heavy usage and rot around windows are causing operational and moisture issues.
Bogle said several of the city’s public-safety facilities are 12–23 years old and five fire stations are older than 25 years, increasing the maintenance backlog and the need for programmatic capital in coming budgets. Facilities asked that the committee consider consolidating utility and insurance allocations into the facilities fund as part of FY26 budgeting (a point Christine also raised when presenting billing-and-licensing items).
Ending: Facilities staff thanked the committee for prior support and said the department will provide project cost estimates and vendor comparisons to guide capital decisions.
