Engineer presents SP&A facility condition reports; committee hears repair and consolidation possibilities
Summary
SP&A engineer Marco Costini presented draft condition reports for the town's three fire company buildings, identifying façade failure at Company 1, original shingles at Company 3, parking-lot deterioration, and a possible addition to Company 1 that could add up to eight sleeping quarters. The Fire Chief said annual maintenance runs $40,000–$50,000.
Marco Costini, the engineer from SP&A, presented draft facility condition reports for the Town of East Hampton's three fire company buildings and answered committee questions. The reports list specific deficiencies: Company 1 has a deteriorating façade and could accommodate an addition that would provide up to eight sleeping quarters; Company 2 has multiple repair needs outlined in the draft; and Company 3 still has the original roof shingles and the worst damage to its parking lot. The minutes note that vehicle sizing is a recurring issue: every time the department acquires a truck it must be customized to fit garage door dimensions.
The minutes record a dollar figure for ongoing upkeep. “The Fire Chief stated that they are currently spending between $40,000 to $50,000 to maintain all three buildings,” a cost that does not include capital improvements such as new lighting or painting. Committee members and the engineer treated the SP&A documents as working drafts, asking that missing items be added or unnecessary items removed before the reports are finalized. The committee did not take a vote on recommendations during the presentation; it sought further cost comparisons and clarifications for future meetings.
