Commission approves $62,500 purchase of modular building for temporary Fire Station 21
Summary
The commission approved purchasing a modular building from Creative Modular Buildings for use as temporary Fire Station 21 at 902 Avalon Road for $62,500, with staff noting potential multi-purpose uses and future conversion options.
The Winter Garden City Commission approved a purchase agreement on March 13, 2025, authorizing the City Manager to sign a sales agreement to buy a temporary modular building from Creative Modular Buildings for $62,500. Assistant City Manager for Administrative Services Frank Gilbert said the structure would serve as temporary Fire Station 21 quarters and office at 902 Avalon Road.
Gilbert told the commission staff considered lease and improvement costs and determined purchase is cost-effective; he said the building could be used for police patrol presence in southern zones and could be converted for other purposes in the future. Commissioner Colin Sharman moved to approve the purchase; Commissioner Chloe Johnson seconded and the motion carried unanimously, 5-0.
