Summary

City staff said clinic construction is complete and the facility has been turned over for furnishing and training with an early March hopeful opening; officials said they have applied for a "brick grant" to fund vertical-evacuation towers and expect the south fire station to be staffed by March.

Unidentified Speaker 1 reported that clinic construction is complete and the facility "was turned over for furnishing, stocking supplies, and training staff," with officials "hopeful for an early March opening." The speaker said the city is closing out an earlier "brick grant," has applied for a new "brick grant" to cover construction of vertical‑evacuation structures, and plans to prepare 100% construction plans at grant closeout.

The first potential tower site, the speaker said, is set behind the public works yard. Unidentified Speaker 1 also updated the committee on the south fire station: the interior is finished except for communications equipment, appliances and comms gear are en route, the standby power system is out to bid and will go to council in February, and the city expects to staff the station by March, subject to weather and delivery schedules.

Officials framed the projects as public‑safety and resilience investments. No formal decisions or funding approvals were recorded in the meeting transcript; the standby power procurement will go to council for action.
