Summary
Council and staff discussed a potential public-safety campus on the Greyhound Park parcel, including a temporary Station 77 structure the tribe would lease, timelines for signed leases by summer, and the importance of securing county and regional partners to share costs.
Staff and council discussed a possible public-safety campus on the Greyhound Park property that could include a leased acre for a temporary fire station known as Station 77. Staff said the tribe had indicated willingness to lease land and that the county and neighboring cities would need to share costs and coordinate service roles.
"For the fire station, they just they want kind of a general confirmation this springtime within, like, actually signed leases by summertime," staff said, describing the timeline for the temporary station. Council members emphasized the public-safety benefits: "We definitely need a fire department if we're going to reduce response times," one councilor said, underscoring the regional need for improved coverage. Staff cautioned that county budget and interdepartmental alignment will shape feasibility and that the temporary structure might be a leased modular or steel building lasting several years.
