Council approves changes to fire-station capital ordinance, adds $60,000 parking cost
Summary
The council adopted amendments to Ordinance 879 for the new fire station, moving a $199,000 land‑purchase line to construction, adding $60,000 for a front parking area, and setting total general‑fund appropriation at $1,290,787 (reduced from $1,444,000); the ordinance passed 3–1.
Town Manager Homer Bierman presented proposed amendments to the fire‑station capital project ordinance (No. 879), including reclassifying a $199,000 land‑purchase appropriation into construction and adding a one‑time estimated cost of about $60,000 to build a front parking area. Staff said the total appropriation from the general fund would be $1,290,787 (a reduction from the previous $1,444,000 figure) accounting for prior payments and reclassifications.
Council moved to accept the amended ordinance and the motion carried with a recorded vote of three in favor and one opposed. Town staff said the parking addition is a capital one‑time cost and recommended including it in the current capital project ordinance rather than burdening the next fiscal year. Staff also noted project design costs and prior payments made in earlier fiscal years that affect current appropriation lines.
