Avon council approves legal and architectural hires for second fire station
Summary
Council unanimously approved ordinances to retain Truax Law Group for legal representation on the second fire station project and to hire Perspectus for basic architectural services, acting under suspension of rules to expedite the work.
Council President Brian Fischer said the council acted to move the second fire station project forward by approving two emergency ordinances. The council voted 7–0 to retain Truax Law Group to represent the city in “all matters related to the construction of a 2nd fire station,” then separately voted 7–0 to hire Perspectus to provide basic architectural services for a planned station at Middleton Road and Pendleton Court. "AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO RETAIN TRUAX LAW GROUP TO REPRESENT THE CITY IN ALL MATTERS RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 2ND FIRE STATION," the clerk read by title prior to the vote.
Councilman Scott Radcliffe made the motions to suspend the rules and to adopt each ordinance; motions to adopt were seconded as recorded in the minutes. Both measures were approved unanimously. The actions are procedural steps that commit the city to legal oversight and preliminary design work; the transcript records the hires as authorizations rather than final construction contracts, and additional procurement or design approvals will follow the ordinances.
